you should focus less on the hype and more on uptime, dependability, and long-term costs, is what I would say and a relay station can be useful if it solves a real bottleneck in your workflow, but it's worth testing on a small scale first before committing heavily.

which one specifically, there's like a dozen of these floating around with wildly different reliability
i have been curious about these too. the idea is useful, especially if it makes switching between different API providers easier. my only concerrn would be adding another middleman, so i would want to know how they handle downtime, rate limits nd API keys before using one for anything important.
torres2k is correct becuz half of these economical relay systems will ultimately record these prompt nd transmit the request using alternative means.

relay services should definitely be used with caution, TBH, considering that there is no point in saving money from API request when the service itself log the prompt or starts becoming unstable due to growing traffic.
