LynkrSelf-hosted LLM gateway wrapping Claude Code, Cursor or Codex with zero code changes — strips unused tools, compresses JSON tool results ~88%, semantic-caches, tier-routes easy work to local models.
Why switchBoth are self-hosted LLM gateways that wrap coding agents (Claude Code/Codex/Cursor/Cline) with zero code changes and cut tokens by compressing tool_result payloads, then route across backends. 9router optimizes for cost/uptime — 40+ providers, multi-account round-robin, subscription→cheap→free auto-fallback. lynkr optimizes for efficiency — strips unused tools, semantic-caches, and tier-routes easy work to local models. Pick by whether you need free-provider breadth or local-model routing.
Full comparison → freellmapiOpenAI-compatible proxy that stacks free tiers of 18 LLM providers (~1.7B tokens/mo) behind one /v1 — smart routing, failover, per-key quota tracking; Claude Code and Codex shims included.
Why switchBoth are self-hosted OpenAI-compatible gateways that multiplex providers with automatic fallback for coding CLIs. 9router optimizes paid usage (subscription→cheap→free routing, token compression); FreeLLMAPI exists purely to stack and stay under 18 providers' free-tier caps.
Full comparison → free-claude-codeProvider-backed proxy that runs Claude Code, Codex or Pi on 25 cloud and local providers — fcc-* launchers, local Admin UI with validation, per-tier model routing, IDE/Discord/Telegram hookups.
Why switchBoth are self-hosted gateways pointing Claude Code/Codex-class CLIs at many providers. 9router leans on routing policy (subscription→cheap→free fallback, token compression); FCC leans on UX — launchers, validation UI, native model-picker integration, IDE configs.
Full comparison → codexmateLocal-first CLI + web dashboard for your coding agents — switch providers, browse sessions across Codex/Claude Code/Gemini CLI, share skills, queue tasks, and bridge Codex/Claude to any API.
Why switchOverlapping job of pointing coding CLIs at arbitrary providers: 9router is a dedicated self-hosted gateway with auto-fallback across 40+ providers; Codex Mate does it via built-in Codex/Claude protocol bridges as one feature of its control plane.
