BYOK
Bring your own key. Pay your AI provider directly. Skip the wrapper markup.
ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro, and Perplexity Pro all bundle model access into a flat monthly fee with usage limits. Hermify Starter ($19/mo) is BYOK: bring your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or OpenRouter key and pay your provider directly, at actual rates, with no rate limits.
You pay your AI provider at their rates, not a wrapper markup.
No artificial usage limits: heavy users save, light users pay less.
You control which model runs and when to switch.
BYOK ("bring your own key") means you keep your relationship with OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, or any compatible provider. They charge you directly for usage. Hermify never sees your AI bill.
Hermify's job is the runtime, memory, Telegram, dashboard, and custom skills. Your AI provider's job is the model. Clean separation, no markups.
ChatGPT Plus: $20/mo flat. Limited to GPT-4 with caps.
Hermify Starter: $19/mo + your AI provider bill. For light users, total is often under $25/mo. For heavy users, you avoid hitting Plus rate limits, you keep working.
OpenRouter is the most flexible BYOK option: one key, hundreds of models, pay-per-use.
Sign up to Hermify Starter, paste your existing API key, connect Telegram, and you are running. If you already use OpenAI or Anthropic, you can plug in the same key.
You can also try Hermify Pro ($29/mo) first if you want managed AI access, then move to BYOK once you decide what model you want to run.

OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. OpenRouter is the most flexible: one key gives you access to hundreds of models including GPT-4, Claude, Llama, Mistral, and more.
For most light-to-medium users, yes. $19/mo Hermify + actual AI usage typically lands below $25/mo combined. Heavy users save by not hitting Plus rate limits.
Yes. Change the configured model at any time from the dashboard. With OpenRouter you can switch between hundreds of models with the same key.
No. With BYOK, prompts go from your runtime directly to your AI provider. Hermify never reads or logs them.
