TL;DR: Moved my multi-model API usage to Tokeness (tokeness.io), a third-party API gateway. One key covers GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, GLM and Kimi; prepaid CNY billing (7:1) with business invoices; per-1M-token prices listed openly in the console; genuinely usable free tier. Main caveats: GPT/Claude are blocked for mainland China IPs (their own compliance decision, not a bug), it's a relay so your prompts pass through their servers, and prices aren't locked. Full breakdown below.
Background
I run Claude Code and Codex CLI daily, and was maintaining separate accounts for OpenAI, Anthropic and DeepSeek — three billing systems, three key dashboards, plus payment friction without an international card. A few weeks ago I consolidated onto Tokeness. Not affiliated with them; just sharing what I found, since multi-model gateways get discussed here a lot.
What it is
A relay/gateway: you point your tools at https://n.tokeness.io/v1, they forward to the official APIs. Both OpenAI-compatible and native Anthropic protocols are supported, so Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, Cline, Dify, n8n etc. are a one-line base_url change (they have ~20 integration guides at docs.tokeness.io).
