FAQs of EvoLink
How much can I save using EvoLink instead of direct API access?
EvoLink users typically save 20-70% on their AI API costs. Our intelligent routing system continuously monitors real-time prices across providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and more. For example, GPT-4 requests can cost $0.03 directly from OpenAI, but through our routing, you might pay as low as $0.014 when alternate providers offer better rates. The exact savings depend on your usage patterns and model selection.
How does EvoLink pricing work? Are there hidden fees?
EvoLink uses transparent pay-as-you-go pricing with no hidden fees. You only pay for what you use, calculated per token or request depending on the model. We don't charge platform fees - you pay the best available market rate plus a small routing fee (typically 5-10%). No monthly minimums, no setup costs, and new users get free credits to test our service.
How long does it take to integrate EvoLink into my existing application?
Integration typically takes less than 10 minutes. If you're already using OpenAI or similar APIs, you just need to change your base URL and API key. Our API is compatible with OpenAI's format, so most existing code works without modification. We provide SDKs for Python, JavaScript, Go, and more, plus comprehensive documentation and migration guides.
Which AI models and providers does EvoLink support?
EvoLink supports 40+ models from leading providers including OpenAI (GPT-4, GPT-3.5), Anthropic (Claude 3 Opus, Sonnet), Google (Gemini Pro, PaLM), Meta (Llama 2), Mistral, Cohere, and more. We continuously add new models and providers. All models are accessible through our unified API endpoint, so you can switch models with a single parameter change.
What happens if a provider goes down? Will my application fail?
No, your application stays online. EvoLink provides automatic failover across multiple providers. If OpenAI experiences an outage, we instantly route your requests to alternate providers like Anthropic or Google. Our system maintains 99.9% uptime by monitoring provider health in real-time and pre-emptively routing away from degraded services. You get reliability that's impossible with a single provider.
Does routing through EvoLink add latency to my API calls?
EvoLink adds minimal latency (typically <50ms) while often improving overall response time. Our intelligent routing selects the fastest available provider based on real-time performance metrics. Many users actually experience faster responses because we route around congested providers and use geographic optimization. Our infrastructure is deployed globally across AWS, ensuring low latency worldwide.
Is my data secure when using EvoLink? Do you store my prompts?
Your data security is our top priority. EvoLink acts as a secure proxy and does NOT store your prompts or responses. All data is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.3, and we're SOC 2 Type II certified. We maintain detailed audit logs for compliance but never log sensitive content. Our infrastructure is GDPR compliant and we offer data processing agreements (DPAs) for enterprise customers.
Do I need API keys from each provider, or just EvoLink?
You only need one EvoLink key - we handle all provider relationships for you. This means less security risk (fewer keys to manage), simplified billing (one invoice), and instant access to new providers without additional setup. Your EvoLink key works across all supported models and providers.
Why use EvoLink instead of going directly to OpenAI or Anthropic?
EvoLink offers five key advantages: 1) Cost savings of 20-70% through intelligent routing, 2) 99.9% uptime with automatic failover, 3) Single API for all providers - no code changes needed, 4) Unified billing and usage analytics, 5) Future-proof integration - new models automatically available. Direct provider access can't match our reliability, cost optimization, or convenience.
How does EvoLink handle rate limits across different providers?
EvoLink intelligently manages rate limits by distributing your requests across multiple providers. If you hit OpenAI's rate limit, we automatically route to Anthropic or another provider with available capacity. This gives you effectively unlimited throughput - far beyond what any single provider offers. We also provide rate limit monitoring in your dashboard.
