What is BYOKList.com?
BYOKList.com is a hand-checked directory of AI tools that work with your own API key (BYOK), organized so you can browse by provider and category.
BYOKList.com is built for people who want their AI requests to run under their own OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), Google Gemini, or OpenRouter provider account—so you can pay the provider directly at API prices and avoid a separate “middleman” account. Many listed tools also support switching between model options (for example GPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, and local models such as Ollama) without requiring a new subscription.
What you can browse
Use the searchable list to compare BYOK support across tool types and workflows, including:

- Privacy & security-focused utilities

The directory includes tools that can accept “any key,” and it’s organized by provider (with counts shown for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Ollama, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, and more) and by category.

How submissions work
If you build an AI tool that accepts users’ own API keys (or supports users connecting local models), you can submit it. Submissions are checked by hand, and the listing page includes a dedicated tool page with details.
How to submit to BYOKList.com
- Submit via the “List your tool” page at https://byoklist.com/submit.
- Ensure your website clearly states BYOK on your main page, pricing page, or docs (including how the key is used).
- After review, the team writes the listing, takes a screenshot, and publishes it—usually within a few days.
- Standard listings link normally and include a ?ref=byoklist.com tag for analytics. A “Featured” option also exists for paid placement.
Review fee and options:
- Listing review: $4.99 one-time
- Listing + Featured: $19 one-time (includes 30 days pinned at the top of the homepage and at the top of the matching provider and category pages, labeled Featured)
- Paid apps qualify if BYOK is supported, and if the site clearly documents how keys are used.
- If a tool doesn’t qualify, the review fee is not refunded; for Featured, $14 is refunded while keeping the $4.99 review fee.
BYOKList.com FAQ
What does BYOK mean in practice?
BYOK (Bring-Your-Own-Key) means BYOKList.com’s tools are designed to use your API key from your own AI provider account instead of using a separate key owned by the app. Your requests run under your provider account, so you keep control of how you pay and which provider’s data terms apply.
Do BYOK tools add markup to what I pay the model provider?
Many BYOK apps are designed so there’s no markup on token usage—your provider bills you directly at API prices. Some tools may still have their own free tiers or one-time/hosted-model pricing, but token costs come from your provider.
Which providers’ keys can BYOK tools use?
BYOK-friendly tools commonly support keys from providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), Google Gemini, and OpenRouter. The list also includes tools that work with other providers and local model setups.
Can I switch between different models or providers without changing subscriptions?
Many BYOK tools let you switch between model choices (for example GPT/Claude/Gemini/DeepSeek) and may also support local models such as Ollama. This is meant to keep your workflow flexible while using your own keys.
