Cohesor
Every model, one gateway, 60-90% lower agent bills
What it is
Cohesor is an AI gateway that sits between your coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, or anything speaking the Anthropic or OpenAI protocol) and the underlying model providers. It compresses prompts and tool output by roughly half before billing, routes each request to a right-sized model based on complexity, and adds per-user spend tracking with budget caps. Pricing is usage-based: provider rates plus a flat $10 per 100,000 requests, with no separate subscription and no free tier.

What you get free vs paid
Verdict
Pros
- Drop-in setup: point ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL or OPENAI_BASE_URL at Cohesor with no code rewrite
- Compresses prompts and tool output by roughly 50% on average before billing, on top of routing savings
- Per-user and per-team spend attribution with hard budget caps, not just a usage dashboard
- Neutral by design: routes across 100+ models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Mistral, and others, and states it doesn't train on your data
Cons
- No free tier at all, every request is billed from the first one
- Usage-based pricing means costs scale with traffic, so it's hard to predict a fixed monthly bill in advance
- Brand new (Product Hunt launch was August 12, 2026), so independent track record is still thin
- Savings depend on your traffic mix; workloads that are already mostly on cheap models will see smaller gains from routing
Worth it once your team's agent spend is large enough that a flat $10-per-100K-requests fee is obviously smaller than what compression and routing save you; skip it if your monthly agent bill is still small enough to track by hand.
