Portkey
AI gateway with observability, guardrails and prompt management; open-source gateway plus hosted plans billed by logged requests.
The bill tracks logged requests rather than model spend: Production costs $49 a month with 100K logs, then $9 per extra 100K requests up to 3M, and model usage carries no markup because provider keys stay your own. That favours teams with heavy token use but modest request counts. The free Developer plan keeps logs for only 3 days. Data residency and hybrid deployment are Enterprise-only, though the open-source gateway can be self-hosted for free.

Production plan $49/month includes 100K logs; overage $9 per additional 100K requests up to 3M. No markup on model spend: you bring your own provider keys (virtual keys). Enterprise (custom pricing) adds data residency and hybrid deployment with the data plane in your own cloud. The gateway itself is open source and can be self-hosted for free.
