UnoRouter vs SillyTavern: same depth, hosted, on one key

SillyTavern is the power-user character front-end you self-host and feed your own keys. UnoRouter has the same depth hosted, where the key is the account and also runs coding agents.

SillyTavern is the deepest character chat front-end there is, and we love it, we import its cards and drop into it. But it is BYOK and you run it yourself. UnoRouter brings the same lorebook, preset, and card depth to a hosted product where one key also runs your coding agents. Same power, none of the setup, and a real 2-in-1.

Hosted vs self-run

SillyTavern you install and keep running, then paste each provider's key. UnoRouter is hosted: nothing to install, no keys to gather, because the key is the account. You sign up and chat. For the SillyTavern experience without standing up the app, that removes the whole setup step.

The same character depth

UnoRouter's chat is not a lite version. It carries lorebooks, presets, personas, group chats, regex scripts, triggers, and SillyTavern card import, the depth power users expect. If you know how ST lorebooks and presets behave, they behave that way here.

One key for chat and code

Here is the 2-in-1. The same key that runs the character chat points Claude Code, Cline, or Codex at 200+ models via https://api.unorouter.com/v1. SillyTavern is a chat front-end only; you still bring a backend and build the dev side yourself. UnoRouter is chat, backend, and code on one account.

And it still drops into SillyTavern

You are not choosing one or the other. Paste your UnoRouter key into SillyTavern and use it as your backend, or use UnoRouter's own hosted chat. Same key, same 200+ models, same credits, wherever you prefer to sit.

How to pick

Want maximum local control and love running SillyTavern? Keep it, and use UnoRouter as the backend. Want the same depth hosted, on a key that also runs your coding agents? That is UnoRouter.
