About APIDir
APIDir helps developers choose an AI API provider without losing the source, configuration, or uncertainty behind a number.
Why APIDir exists
AI API prices are easy to copy and easy to compare incorrectly. Model names hide differences in route, tier, resolution, sound, duration, tokens, cache, and region. APIDir keeps those fields attached.
Initial scope
The catalog contains 102 records: 92 public API providers and 10 non-provider directory references kept outside public provider counts. It also tracks 13 editorial profiles, 22 model and model-family records, 5 published reviews, 5 curated comparisons, and 10 documented integration examples.
What APIDir is not
APIDir is not an inference gateway, benchmark lab, grey-market relay ranking, or pay-to-rank directory. It does not infer private production stacks or publish unsupported revenue claims.
