You don't need an OpenRouter account to use WindOp anymore.
Until today, the first step in WindOp wasn't asking it to do something. It was opening another website, creating an OpenRouter account, adding a card, generating a key and pasting it into Settings. For a lot of people that's where they stopped.
WindOp Pro is now open to everyone. Sign in, start a trial, and WindOp handles the AI side for you.
What Pro gets you
- No API key setup. WindOp manages the keys. Sign in on the desktop app and start chatting.
- $10 of AI credits every month, included in the subscription.
- Top-ups in any amount from $5, and purchased credits never expire.
- The same 340+ models you'd reach through OpenRouter, from one balance.
- Every AI feature on one balance: chat and agents, image generation, video, text-to-speech and web search.
- Encrypted cloud sync (preview) for settings, themes, memory, MCP configs and projects across your devices.
- Priority email support, with a reply in under 24 hours.
It's $20/month or $200/year, and it starts with a 14-day free trial. You pay $0 today, the trial includes $5 of AI credit, and you can cancel from your account any time before it ends.
Why come to us instead of OpenRouter?
Let's be real: OpenRouter is great, and WindOp still runs on it under the hood. The question is whether you want to manage it yourself.
With Pro you get one account and one bill. You don't top up a separate site or keep a key somewhere safe, and you won't find out mid-task that your other balance ran dry. Your balance, your spend by model and your billing history all live at windop.app/account, and every reply in the app shows what it cost.
Here's the thing about pricing, because we'd rather you hear it from us: managed usage is charged at the provider's cost plus a 25% service fee. That covers payment processing and the infrastructure that runs your requests. The full breakdown is in the billing docs.
Happy with your own key? Nothing changes.
WindOp stays free. Bring your own OpenRouter key and requests go straight to OpenRouter, with no WindOp fee and nothing passing through our servers. Every tool, every agent and every model stays in the free app.
Pro is for people who'd rather not deal with any of that.
How to start
- Download WindOp for Windows or Mac if you don't have it.
- Go to Pricing and click Start 14-day free trial.
- Open WindOp, go to Settings → Account and sign in.
That's it. You can also start checkout from Settings → Billing inside the app.
The Bottom Line
WindOp is easiest when you can just open it and ask. Pro makes that true from the first minute: no keys, no second account, $10 of AI every month. Start your free trial, and tell us what you think on Discord.
