Ramp AI Router Cuts Client Costs 40% with Free AI Model

Ramp has launched Router.com, a free AI model router designed to cut client costs. Customers using Router have already seen an average 40% reduction in inference costs. Here's the thing: Router.com acts as a single API for sending AI requests to various providers, including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Nvidia. It's free to use through the end of 2026, though businesses still pay for model tokens. New users also receive $26 in credits. What's interesting is how Router works. It sits between an application and model providers, steering requests based on cost and performance. Ramp also uses its private SWE-Bench to test models, allowing routing to change to a cheaper model if it meets quality standards, without rebuilding. The company states AI spend across its network has grown 20.7 times since June 2025. This shows AI tools are becoming significant operating costs. Router helps finance teams manage these expenses by providing visibility and cost controls. This matters because controlling and understanding AI spend is becoming crucial for businesses.
