True, OpenRouter covers the basics, but to my understanding you're paying a markup on every token (correct me if I'm wrong) — for high-volume setups that gets painful fast. And if you're calling Anthropic directly (common for compliance or reliability reasons), OpenRouter isn't really an option anyways. That said, if you're already on OpenRouter and the markup doesn't bother you, it probably does the job.
