CometAPI Review

Depends

Should I use CometAPI?

Claude Haiku 5.5 and Nano Banana 2.1 are now live on CometAPI - cometapi.com

Buy if you're a developer or hobbyist wanting one cheap endpoint to many AI models. Don't make an unfunded aggregator with two G2 reviews your sole production dependency.

Gotchas - check before you buy

medium

'20-40% cheaper' is the vendor's own claim — benchmark against your real usage

Pay-as-you-go credits: check refund and expiry terms before large top-ups

Guess: support runs through a community forum; no published SLAs for production use

Four plans listed but per-model pricing varies widely — audit before committing

One API, 500+ AI models, claimed 20-40% cheaper. Great for tinkerers; risky as your only provider.
