Groups & plans

primerouter offers differentiated pricing through groups.

What groups do

Each user belongs to one group. Groups determine:

1. Multiplier: actual charge = baseline × model multiplier × group multiplier
2. Visible models: which models you can use
3. Rate limits: per-minute RPM / TPM

Default groups

Group	Who's in	Multiplier
default	All self-registered users	1.0x
internal	Team / company accounts	0.0x (free)
vip-customer	High-volume customers	0.8x
partner	Partners / resellers	0.7x

Actual group list and multipliers depend on per-site admin configuration — they may differ across sites and over time. Check Console → Personal to see which group you are currently in.

Which group am I in?

Console → Personal shows "Current group" at the top.

How to enter a better group?

Various paths:

• Hit a cumulative / monthly spend threshold: auto-promote (if site-enabled)
• Contact sales / support: high-volume users negotiate directly
• Sign up via specific channel: certain referral codes auto-place into specific groups
• Admin manual adjustment: e.g. support compensation, post-partnership negotiation

Subscription vs. group

	Subscription	Group multiplier
Affects	Your "subscription balance" pool	The multiplier on each charge
Source	User-initiated subscription (Stripe)	Inherent group property
Renewal	Auto-renew	Stays unless group changes
Best for	Steady usage	Long-term / bulk users

Subscription and group are not mutually exclusive — you can be in default group and have a subscription: charges use the default multiplier; subscription balance is consumed first, then pay-as-you-go.

per-model multiplier

Some groups have a separate multiplier for specific models. E.g.:

• partner group default multiplier 0.7x
• but glm-4-plus has a separate 0.85x (negotiated)
• calling glm-4-plus actually uses 0.85x, not 0.7x

When this happens, the per-model effective price is shown directly in your Available models list.

Visible models

Some models may not be available to certain groups:

• New models in beta (only internal)
• Partner-only models (only partner)
• Retired-but-preserved models (only specific legacy groups)

Invisible models don't appear in Models. Direct API call returns 403.

FAQ

Q: Can I choose my group? A: Not self-service — groups are determined by account attributes. If you qualify for vip / partner, contact sales.

Q: After a group change, what price does an in-flight request use? A: Streaming uses the start-time price; non-streaming uses the completion-time price.
