The short version

Ollama Cloud Pro costs $20/month, measures usage in GPU-time with unpublished allocations, and resets limits every 5 hours and every 7 days. Nexum Router costs $5.50/week, publishes its position plainly — no hourly or weekly caps — and serves Qwen 3.7 Max and Xiaomi Mimo 2.5 over a standard OpenAI-compatible API.

  • Nexum Router: $5.50/week, no usage windows, published no-cap policy
  • Ollama Pro: $20/month, GPU-time limits that are not published in numbers
  • Nexum works with any OpenAI-compatible client, plus Claude Code natively
  • Local Ollama models stay great for offline work — the router covers hosted scale

When to pick which

If your workload is light and local, Ollama's free tier is hard to beat. If your coding agent burns millions of tokens a day and you keep hitting cloud limits, a flat weekly plan with no usage windows is the simpler, cheaper path.

  • Heavy agentic coding: Nexum Router
  • Offline/local inference: Ollama
  • Both: point different tools at different backends — they coexist fine
