Oberhahn vs. OpenRouter
OpenRouter unifies access and reports on the traffic it routes. Oberhahn adds audit trails and a view across every provider and tool, routed or not.
OpenRouter gives you one API to reach many models, with analytics for the traffic routed through it. Oberhahn is broader: organization-wide visibility and attribution whether or not traffic goes through OpenRouter. Here is how they compare.

Straight talk for engineers: Oberhahn reports billed cash only, status means completion not quality, and interactive-vs-automated is a classification, not a judgment. No individual-hour surveillance, and no capacity baseline unless you set one.
From usage stats to a model of the org
OpenRouter gives you one API to many models and analytics for its own traffic. Oberhahn renders the whole organization: the Floor, the Rhythm, and the Organizational Map show which people and agents use AI in real time, across every provider, including the ones you call directly.
Then let individuals prove their impact
Per-key stats do not know your people. Oberhahn attributes usage to individuals and teams, so people surface what they shipped and managers find champions and unowned workflows.
- Individuals surface the work they shipped with AI
- Managers find champions and unowned, high-value workflows
- Attribution rolls up to teams, projects, and reviews
And build on an open layer, with real depth
OpenRouter reports on the traffic it routes. Oberhahn adds audit logs, custom events, and attribution across the providers and tools you use directly, with full export and no lock-in.
- Audit logs and custom events, not just routed-traffic stats
- Send custom events and query your data via API
- Build your own views; export everything, no lock-in
Choose Oberhahn if you
- Agents run unattended, including outside OpenRouter
- Audit logs and unattended-usage classification matter
- Individual and team attribution matter
- You want visibility across providers you call directly
- Spend-spike alerts and notifications are important
Choose OpenRouter if you
- You want one API to reach many models
- Analytics on routed traffic are enough
- Model access convenience is the main goal
- You are routing traffic through OpenRouter anyway
- Does Oberhahn route model requests?
- No. OpenRouter is for unified model access. Oberhahn is for visibility and attribution across your AI usage.
- Can I use both?
- Yes. Use OpenRouter for access and Oberhahn to measure usage and attribution across everything.
- Does Oberhahn cover providers I call directly?
- Yes, it is not limited to traffic through any single router.
