Testimonials

Loved by developers worldwide

"We cut our AI API spend by 68% in the first month. BelugAPI's pricing is unreal — and the latency is actually better than going direct."

JM
James Moreau
CTO, Stackwise AI

"One API key for GPT-5.4, image generation AND video? It honestly felt too good to be true. Two months later, still blown away."

PL
Priya Lal
Founder, Generative Studio

"Migration took literally 2 minutes — just changed the base URL. Support team is lightning fast. Can't believe I wasn't using this earlier."

Tom Krause
Senior Engineer, DataFlow

FAQ

Common questions

We aggregate massive compute volume across thousands of customers, negotiate wholesale rates directly with providers, and operate our own caching and routing infrastructure. The savings are real and sustainable — not a promotional offer.
Yes — BelugAPI is fully OpenAI-compatible. Change base_url to https://api.belugapi.com/v1 and your API key, and you're done. All the same endpoints, request/response formats, streaming, and tool-calling work identically.
We typically integrate new models within 24 to 48 hours of their public release. GPT Image 2, Nano Banana 2, and Seedance 2 were all available on day one. Follow our changelog to get notified of every new addition.
We offer a 99.9% uptime SLA on the Growth tier and 99.99% on Enterprise. Our infrastructure includes automatic failover across multiple providers, so if one provider has an outage, your requests are transparently routed to an alternative.
BelugAPI is SOC 2 Type II compliant. We do not train on your data, do not retain prompts beyond 30 days of logging (which can be disabled), and Enterprise customers get a full Data Processing Agreement.
Absolutely. There are no long-term contracts. You can switch tier or close your account from your dashboard at any time. Charges reflect only your actual API usage against prepaid credits.

Join 12,000+ developers saving up to 70% on every model call — no contracts, no lock-in.
