For API providers

Turn your API into a business

Connect an OpenAI-compatible API, set your own prices and get called by ModelGates customers with the key and balance they already have. You keep your infrastructure; ModelGates handles accounts, metering and billing.

How it works

Three steps to your first customer

  1. 1. Connect

    Point ModelGates at your OpenAI-compatible endpoint and store your API key encrypted. Customers never see it.

  2. 2. Set pricing

    Price each model per 1M tokens or per request. A platform fee is deducted from your share; the rate is shown before you publish.

  3. 3. Get customers

    After a short review your product appears in the marketplace with a public page, a quick-start snippet and your own model ids.

What ModelGates handles

  • Customer accounts, API keys and rate limits
  • Metering and billing on the customer's balance
  • Abuse protection and per-product circuit breaking
  • A public product page and marketplace listing
  • Usage reporting in your seller dashboard

Today: OpenAI-compatible APIs

The first release lists chat-completion APIs that speak the OpenAI request format. OpenAPI specs, MCP servers and agents are on the roadmap — the seller dashboard shows them as coming soon.
