Summary

- Both catalogues are far smaller than OpenRouter's.

| Analytics | Spend dashboard | Dashboards and spend controls |

02
Fees and pricing
Requesty charges a platform fee on top of provider prices, so its effective rate sits above list. SayGM starts below list. Any fee on top of list widens the gap shown here.
| Model | List, input / output | SayGM, input / output | SayGM vs list |
|---|---|---|---|
| Claude Sonnet 5 | $2.00 / $10.00 | $1.78 / $8.89 | 11% lower |
| GPT-5.5 | $5.00 / $30.00 | $3.75 / $22.50 | 25% lower |
| Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview | $2.00 / $12.00 | $1.40 / $8.40 | 30% lower |
For high-volume Claude or GPT usage the difference is material. On GPT-5.5 at 50M input and 15M output tokens a month, list price is $700 and SayGM is $525, before Requesty's fee is added.
03
Privacy
Requesty offers data policies and PII redaction. SayGM replaces personal data before a prompt leaves the gateway and restores it in the reply. It also runs the gateway in a trusted execution environment, so operators cannot read traffic.

Catalogue and routing
Both list far fewer models than OpenRouter. SayGM's catalogue is curated around current frontier models and confidential open-weight options. SayGM adds cascade models that fall back on failure and fusion models that combine several models in one call.
05
Which to choose
- Requesty if reporting, spend controls and guardrails are the priority and list-plus-fee pricing is acceptable.
- SayGM if per-token price and verifiable privacy are the priority.
- OpenRouter if you need the widest catalogue. See OpenRouter alternatives for the full field.
