How this was valued: The published allowance or a defensible paid comparison is not precise enough to calculate.
The request-rate ceiling has no bounded request size and the rotating aliases have no stable paid counterpart.

What happens to your prompts?
Not privateReviewed
The terms grant broad perpetual improvement rights and some routed models can require training permission.
- Plan Scope
- Kilo Gateway and Kilo coding products; free and paid plans and the selected OpenRouter or downstream model route differ.
- Prompt Retention
- Kilo's terms grant a perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable license to use Customer Data for service delivery and improvement. Paid plans advertise no-retention support, but that is not a default commitment for the free plan.
- Response Retention
- Outputs are Customer Data under the same broad terms; paid plans can support no-retention routing.
- Ordinary Logging
- Kilo collects account and technical data and states analytics telemetry excludes prompt or conversation content. Audit and usage logs may be available for governed plans.
- Model Training
- A user can decline to license data to an AI model for training, but then some models may be unavailable. Downstream model rules remain route-specific.
- Product Improvement
- The Customer Data license expressly permits Kilo to improve its service and other products, including development, diagnostics, and corrective work.
- Human Or Operator Access
- The terms authorize Kilo processing for development and diagnostics. OpenRouter and the selected downstream provider process prompt and conversation content for inference.
- Subprocessors And Routing
- Prompts are routed through OpenRouter to the selected provider, including Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI, Mistral, Meta, and others. Their terms and route controls also apply.
- Deletion Controls
- Users may delete the account from their profile or request deletion. Paid-plan no-retention support and provider-routing controls require configuration and do not erase previously retained data automatically.
- Caveat
- The free plan does not receive the paid no-retention statement, and Kilo's terms contain a broad perpetual data license. Model access may depend on accepting downstream training rights.
