One OpenAI-compatible gateway for adaptive LLM routing, guardrails, and spend control
Each prompt is graded and routed to the model that clears your quality bar, with configurable fallback chains that retry before a response starts.
Pay provider prices with $0 per-token added on pay-as-you-go and subscriptions, or bring your own provider keys and credits.
PII shielding, jailbreak and injection blocking, and per-call approval for tool and MCP actions run before you are billed.
Request logs, per-prompt receipts, routing and spend dashboards, and copy-as-cURL make every call auditable and attributable.
The collaboration layer for AI engineering teams
Edit, version, diff and roll back prompts from a visual dashboard with no coding, so product, marketing and content teams can iterate on prompts while engineers keep control of the deploy.
Run dataset-backed tests with human and AI graders, trigger regression evals whenever a prompt changes, backtest new versions against historical data and compare prompts across models.
Connect production traces to the exact prompt version that produced them and inspect failures, cost, latency and token usage by feature, model or user.
Build, trace and improve agent workflows with prompts, tool calls, evaluations and logs in one place, so multi-step runs can be tested before they ship.
Provides access to a massive catalog of frontier models with flexible routing, but lacks OrcaRouter's dedicated enterprise governance.

Gives developers a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint for multiple LLMs with failover, but offers fewer advanced routing rules.
Delivers enterprise-grade LLM gateway features with advanced caching and observability, though at a higher operational complexity.
