CLIProxyAPI alternatives
Curated alternatives to CLIProxyAPI — and why you'd switch.
magpie
Pick any model for any coding agent from one menu-bar app: a local gateway translating OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini APIs, with subscription sign-ins and quota failover across accounts.
Why switchBoth turn coding-CLI subscriptions into a local multi-protocol API with account rotation; CLIProxyAPI is the headless Go proxy, magpie adds per-agent config editing and a UI.
Full comparison →9router
Self-hosted gateway pointing any AI coding CLI (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Cline) at 40+ providers, with subscription→cheap→free auto-fallback and tool_result compression for 20-40% token savings.
Why switchTwo directions of the same arbitrage: 9router points coding CLIs at 40+ providers; CLIProxyAPI exposes your CLI subscriptions as an OpenAI/Claude/Gemini-compatible endpoint for any client.
Full comparison →Lynkr
Self-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 self-hosted proxies between coding subscriptions and clients: lynkr optimizes (compression, caching, tier-routing); CLIProxyAPI multiplexes accounts and re-exposes them as standard APIs.
