Open Token vs Portkey

Portkey is an AI gateway that routes requests across many model providers, with virtual keys that carry budgets, plus logging and prompt management. It's now part of Palo Alto Networks. The Production plan starts at US$49 per month with 100,000 logs.

Where Open Token is different

  • Per-run monitoring with loop-detection alerts and dashboards per project and agent, on top of budgets per team, feature and customer.

  • No AWS keys required: on Amazon Bedrock, inference runs in your AWS account through a role you can revoke, and attribution tags land in your AWS cost reports.

  • Finance and audit features: attribution to feature and customer, and costs reconciled with your AWS invoice (CUR), forecasts with a cause, and signed evidence packs for auditors.

When Portkey is the better fit

  • You need a provider outside the 9 Open Token connects to.
  • You need budgets that block requests today.
