NEW Route to the cheapest model that passes — see how →

Every model. One API.
Versioned, governed, cheaper.

VernaOne is the layer between your app and every LLM — a router in the request path, a versioned prompt registry, and cost + quality analytics in one. One tool instead of five. And because it sits in the path, it doesn’t just show you the bill — it lowers it.

The whitespace

Three categories. VernaOne is all three.

Teams buy a gateway to route, an observability tool to watch, and a prompt store to remember — three products that don’t overlap. The intersection is nearly empty. That’s where VernaOne lives.

Gateways are in the path but blind. Observability tools watch but can’t act. VernaOne is in the request path and the source of truth — so it can route, remember, and observe in one call.

Active cost control

Everyone shows you the bill. VernaOne lowers it.

Cost control on your LLM usage is only possible from inside the request path. Observability tools sit beside it — they can attribute spend, never reduce it.

Cost reporting — the observability camp

Passive. After the fact.

  • Shows what each call cost, by model and prompt
  • Dashboards you read after the money is spent
  • Not in the path — cannot change a single request
Cost control — VernaOne

In the path. Acts on every call.

  • Routes to the cheapest model that passes your quality checks
  • Fails over automatically instead of paying premium retries
  • Compresses input tokens losslessly — 28–49% on data-heavy prompts
  • Reuses cache & dedup hits before they ever reach a provider
Cheaper without getting worse

Cost routing is gated by your eval checks — a call only drops to a cheaper model if it still passes. Cost and quality are decided together, in the same request, so lowering spend never quietly lowers quality.

The data behind it

We track every model on the market — and price it daily.

Routing to the cheapest model that still passes your checks only works if something knows what everything costs, today. That is a live index of 1502 models from 86 companies, rebuilt every day and read straight from the sellers.

1502models indexed
806with a published price
74sellers compared
72quality-tested by us
How it is built

Read from source, every day.

  • Prices from the sellers themselves — provider APIs and the vendors' own pricing pages, not a scraped aggregator
  • Every figure carries its source and how strong that source is, so you can check any number we publish
  • Compared like for like — same job, same billing unit, same service tier. A batch rate never stands in for an on-demand one
  • Quality measured by us, at temperature zero with deterministic checks — no leaderboards, no vendor claims
What it does for your bill

In the request path, not in a report.

  • Finds the cheaper equivalent for a model you already use, and tells you what you give up
  • Catches price cuts and rises the day they happen, across every provider serving your models
  • Flags deprecations before an endpoint disappears underneath you
  • Feeds the router directly — the same data that powers the comparison decides where your calls go
Independent by construction

We sell a router, and the index still lists the routers we compete with. It has to: an index that quietly omits a seller is not an index. Prices are published with the evidence behind them, disagreements between sources are shown rather than resolved in our favour, and where we cannot verify something we say so.

Router, registry, and analytics — in one place.

Author, version, route, and observe prompts as model-agnostic endpoints. Not just a gateway — LLMs, media, live search, and scraping through one API.

Consolidation

One tool instead of the stack you’re gluing together.

Most teams shipping LLM features stitch four tools that don’t know about each other. VernaOne is all of them — and the only one in the request path.

One API

Every model and tool, one call.

Call a named prompt and VernaOne routes it — to an LLM, a media model, live web search, or a web scraper — with automatic fallback across providers, all from inside the request path.

  • 10 LLM providers: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, DeepSeek, Mistral, Groq, Cohere, Perplexity, OpenRouter
  • Live web search (Tavily, Perplexity) and web scraping (Scrappey)
  • Media generation — image, video, audio, music

Compare & choose

Run one prompt across every model.

Pick your models, hit run, and see each one’s output, latency, and cost side by side. Choose the winner with hard data — then promote it to the versioned endpoint your app already calls.

  • Parallel multi-model runs with a results matrix
  • Latency and cost per model, per run
  • Promote the winner — test and prod are the same object

Frequently asked

What is VernaOne?

VernaOne is the runtime layer between your app and every LLM. It combines three things teams normally buy separately: a multi-provider router that sits in the request path (routing, fallback, cost control), a versioned prompt registry (prompts as named, model-agnostic endpoints), and cost + quality analytics on top. One tool instead of five.

How is VernaOne different from Langfuse, LangSmith, Helicone, or LiteLLM?

Those tools each cover one layer. Gateways like Helicone, Portkey and LiteLLM sit in the request path and route, but have no prompt registry or studio. Observability and eval tools like Langfuse, LangSmith and Braintrust watch your calls after the fact — they can report cost, but they are not in the request path, so they cannot act on it. VernaOne is in the path AND the source of truth: it routes, remembers, and observes in one place.

How does VernaOne lower my LLM costs?

Because it runs in the request path, it can act on cost, not just report it: route each call to the cheapest model that passes your quality checks, fail over automatically instead of paying premium retries, compress input tokens losslessly (28–49% on data-heavy prompts), and reuse cache/dedup hits. Observability tools can only show you the bill after it is spent.

Does cost routing hurt quality?

No — routing is gated by your eval checks. VernaOne only moves a call to a cheaper model if it passes the checks you set, so you get cheaper without getting worse. Cost and quality are decided together, in the same request.

Which providers and tools does VernaOne support?

OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, DeepSeek, Mistral, Groq, Cohere and Perplexity, plus OpenRouter — behind one API. It also reaches media models (fal, Replicate, Mureka) and tools (Tavily search, Scrappey scraping). You call a named prompt; VernaOne routes it and falls back across providers on failure.

Is there a free version?

Yes — a free tier and a free desktop app. Bring your own provider keys and routing is free, with a monthly execution allowance on every plan. There are also free tools like the Prompt Auditor, Portability Linter, and Cost Calculator, with no signup.
