Our Mission

Making AI accessible.

Making powerful AI accessible, affordable, and reliable for every developer and product team on the planet. We started Lobsters Token because we were tired of juggling multiple API accounts, paying markups, and dealing with inconsistent uptime.

We built the service we wished existed.

🐾

Built by developers,
for developers.

We use the tools we build. Every feature we ship solves a real problem we faced ourselves.

The Story

Why we built this.

🤯

The Problem

As developers building SaaS products, we kept running into the same walls: juggling API keys across OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, getting hit with surprise bills, and watching our apps slow down when model providers had a bad day.

💡

The Solution

We built Lobsters Token — a unified API that routes your requests through OpenRouter to the best available model, at better-than-direct prices. One key. Fifty-plus models. One bill.

What we stand for.

🔧

Developer First

Every decision starts with one question: does this make a developer's life better? If the answer is no, we don't do it.

🔍

Radical Transparency

No hidden fees. No bait-and-switch pricing. What you see is what you pay. Our prices are public, our docs are thorough.

Relentless Reliability

Infrastructure isn't glamorous, but uptime is. We invest heavily in monitoring, redundancy, and failover so your products keep running.

The company behind it.

🏢

Tan Venture Limited

Registered in England & Wales

Lobsters Token is a product of Tan Venture Limited. We're a small team of engineers and product builders. We care about what we ship — and we believe the best products come from personal experience with the problem you're solving.

How we operate.

We keep it simple.

One API, one pricing model, one dashboard. No tiers that require a spreadsheet to compare. No "contact sales" walls for basic features.

We don't compete with our users.

We route through OpenRouter. We don't train on your data. We build the infrastructure layer — we don't build AI products that compete with yours.

We listen and iterate.

Developer feedback shapes our roadmap. If something is hard to use, we'll hear about it and fix it.

We're in it for the long haul.

This isn't a weekend project. We're building the infrastructure that powers your products — and that means being reliable, consistent, and here when you need us.
