Their prices are extremely high compared to the competition on https://openrouter.ai/deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731 fyi.

tinfoil asks more than 10x the output cost ... $1.90 per 1M tokens instead of $0.18 per 1M tokens for my favorite model (Deepseek V4 Flash 0731) on my favorite provider (DeepInfra) currently, for example.



OpenRouter does not offer private inference, so your plaintext is shared with companies you may not even know by name.

Tinfoil OTOH claims hardware attestation and confidential computing, which is a pretty strong and (in theory) verifiable promise.

You absolutely would not recommend tinfoil.sh to someone indifferent to privacy trying to save money.

It's a very different service than OpenRouter.
