Portkey (portkey.ai) Review

Portkey is an AI control panel that sits in front of LLM APIs. It provides a gateway with routing, fallbacks, retries, caching, and guardrails, plus observability dashboards for cost, latency, and quality of AI traffic. Governance features include spend limits, audit logs, role-based access, and prompt management with versioning. A Free Forever plan requires no credit card; the Production plan starts at $49 per month. Portkey exposes APIs and SDKs and supports both its managed gateway and open-source self-hosted deployment.
