OpenRouter alternative for video APIs.
Review the required modality first. Framecall is a proposed asynchronous video task gateway; check OpenRouter’s current documentation for your own model and endpoint requirements.
Framecall’s 6 initial video presets are planned for early access. We are not affiliated with OpenRouter; names are used for identification only.

Framecall is explicitly organized around video jobs: submit a prompt, receive a task ID, then query the video result. Its public examples use /v1/videos rather than a chat-completions contract.
No like-for-like OpenRouter video price was verified, so no numeric price or savings claim is shown. Framecall does not offer public inference yet.

Questions, answered.
Can I generate a video today?
No. Framecall is collecting early-access requests; the public gateway returns 503 until access is enabled.
Will joining the waitlist cost money?
No. Joining costs nothing and no card is required. We will send your key and trial credits when access opens.
How will billing work after launch?
The planned service is pay per successful video task, with no charge for failed generations. Early-bird prices take effect only after access opens.
Is Framecall affiliated with the model providers?
No. Framecall is an independent service. Product names describe compatibility; their trademarks belong to their respective owners.
