9Router is an AI model router that maximizes your subscription value and minimizes costs through intelligent routing and automatic fallback.
|

|
|
|
## What is 9Router?
|
|
|
|
9Router is a smart proxy that sits between your coding tools (Cursor, Cline, Claude Desktop) and AI providers. It automatically routes requests to the best available model based on quota, cost, and availability.
|
|
|
|
**Stop wasting money:**
|
|
- ❌ Subscription quota expires unused every month
|
|
- ❌ Rate limits stop you mid-coding
|
|
- ❌ Expensive APIs ($20-50/month per provider)
|
|
- ❌ Manual switching between providers
|
|
|
|
**Start maximizing value:**
|
|
- ✅ **Maximize Subscriptions** - Track and use every bit of Claude Code, Codex, Gemini quota
|
|
- ✅ **FREE Available** - Access iFlow, Qwen, Kiro models via CLI
|
|
- ✅ **Ultra-Cheap Backup** - GLM ($0.6/1M), MiniMax M2.1 ($0.20/1M)
|
|
- ✅ **Smart Fallback** - Subscription → Cheap → Free, automatic switching
|

## Key Features
|
|
|
|
### 🔄 Smart 3-Tier Fallback
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Setup once, never stop coding:
|
|
|
|
Tier 1 (SUBSCRIPTION): Claude Code → Codex → Gemini
|
|
↓ quota exhausted
|
|
Tier 2 (CHEAP): GLM-4.7 → MiniMax M2.1 → Kimi
|
|
↓ budget limit
|
|
Tier 3 (FREE): iFlow → Qwen → Kiro
|
|
|
|
→ Automatic switching, zero downtime!
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 📊 Quota Tracking

|
|
