Features Comparison

Heabsy

OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible API
Base URL https://api.heabsy.com/v1. Streaming, tool calling and structured output work as with the original SDKs; vision on supported models.
EEA tier with zero data retention
Models marked EEA only run on GPUs Heabsy operates inside the European Economic Area. Prompts and completions are processed in memory and never written to logs.
Routed catalog of open models
More than 25 open models from DeepSeek, Moonshot, Z.ai, OpenAI, Meta, Google, Qwen, NVIDIA and others, bought from global providers under a European contract and billed by Heabsy.
Long context and prefix caching
Up to 1M tokens of context on several models and 262K on Qwen3.8 27B; cached input is billed at a lower rate.
Per-model processing labels
The catalog at heabsy.com/models shows for each model whether it is processed only in the EEA or may leave it.

OpenAI

GPT Model Family
GPT-6 Astra for complex reasoning and coding, GPT-6 Sol to balance capability and cost, and GPT-6 Luna for cost-sensitive, high-volume workloads
Reasoning Models
Reasoning models for multi-step, complex tasks
Image Generation
Generate images as output with GPT Image 2
Realtime and Audio
Realtime API for voice applications plus endpoints to analyze, transcribe, and generate audio
Multimodal Capabilities
Process text, images, audio, and video inputs with unified models
Function Calling
Structured outputs and tool use for building agents and workflows

Pros & Cons

Heabsy

Advantages

OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible API: existing SDKs, Claude Code and Cursor switch by changing the base URL
EEA tier runs on Heabsy's own GPUs inside the EEA with zero data retention; prompts are never logged
EU company (Slovakia) with no US parent; DPA and sub-processor list published
Every model is labelled with where it is processed: EEA only or outside the EEA

Considerations

Most of the catalog is routed through third-party providers and may be processed outside the EEA; only a few models run on Heabsy's own hardware
Accounts are opened on request; there is no free tier
No embeddings endpoint and no GPU rental

OpenAI

Advantages

Industry-leading model performance and accuracy
Extensive training data providing unmatched breadth across languages and domains
Developer-friendly SDKs for Python, JavaScript, and other languages
Comprehensive documentation and large community

Considerations

Higher cost compared to open-source alternatives
Token usage can scale quickly with conversation threads
Data privacy concerns for sensitive applications
