Agensi is for people who make media from an AI agent: one MCP connection runs video, image, voice, music and data tools, paid per use from one balance, with no API keys. Here is an honest comparison.

    85 tools and 532 skills that use them. Pay per use from one balance, no API keys.

    OpenRouter or Agensi: which one fits you?

    Choose Agensi when you want videos and images from inside your AI agent with no code. Your agent picks the model, runs it from your balance, follows the job and hands you the file, and the same connection covers voice, music, data tools and skills. You can set limits per use, per day and per month in Dashboard → Balance.

    When another way is the better choice. Choose OpenRouter when you write code: one API key for hundreds of language models plus video and image models, providers' list prices, your own provider keys (BYOK) and spend controls for teams. If your app makes videos in a pipeline, call OpenRouter's video API directly; several of the same models run on it.

    Set up in your AI agent

    Agensi vs OpenRouter: frequently asked questions

    Yes. OpenRouter has a video endpoint with models such as Veo 3.1, Seedance, Kling and Wan: your code submits a job, checks its status and downloads the file. Its hosted MCP server finds models, prices and rankings and sends test messages, while video generation goes through the API.

    Many of the same models are on both, such as Veo 3.1, Kling 3.0, Seedance and Wan. We also list video tools such as Kling's motion transfer, HeyGen's image to video and MiniMax's Hailuo, plus image, voice, music and data tools, all through the one connection your AI agent already uses.

    No. Agensi doesn't route chat models: your agent keeps using its own model, such as Claude or GPT, and we add tools to it. If you want one API for hundreds of language models, OpenRouter is the right choice, and the two work fine side by side.

    No. Agensi runs every tool on its own accounts. You sign in to Agensi once from your agent and pay each use from your Agensi balance. There are no keys to manage, and you can set limits per use, per day and per month.
