OpenRouter expands model catalog to 600+ models across paid plans
What happened
Between the Oct 26, 2026 and Nov 2, 2026 captures of OpenRouter's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Model catalog count raised from 500+ to 600+ models on Standard, Business and Enterprise plans. Pulse files it as a packaging change (limit increase) with an upward direction.
It lands 6 days after OpenRouter's previous change, "OpenRouter drops expired ElevenLabs 50%-off banner; plan fees unchanged" (Oct 26, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "OpenRouter adds Private Endpoints as an Enterprise-only add-on" (Oct 19, 2026), "OpenRouter launches 50% off every ElevenLabs model through October 19" (Oct 12, 2026) and "OpenRouter moves Enterprise BYOK limit to custom, adds advanced spend alerts" (Oct 5, 2026). OpenRouter has been tracked since 2026-05-16.
In the same window OpenAI, Anthropic, Metabase, Together AI and Google also changed their AI & Machine Learning pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
