LiteLLM vs Portkey: when to use one over the other

Merge offers a comprehensive solution for integrating and managing AI models and customer integrations through its Merge Gateway, which functions as a fully-managed control plane between applications and LLM providers. This gateway provides a unified interface across models, allowing for seamless routing, observability, and security measures, while also offering features like built-in cost governance and optimization. It aims to simplify the operational burden compared to self-hosted solutions like LiteLLM and Portkey, which require more in-house expertise and maintenance. While LiteLLM offers maximum control and flexibility with its self-hosting capabilities, and Portkey provides strong observability and governance features, Merge Gateway stands out by consolidating billing and enhancing enterprise security, making it an appealing option for those seeking a more streamlined and managed approach to AI gateway management.
