Speakeasy Pricing (2026): SDK, MCP Hosting and AI Control Plane Costs | Mintive Blog
Blog post from MintMCP
Speakeasy has broadened its focus from OpenAPI-based SDK and Terraform provider generation to enterprise AI governance through its AI Control Plane, which supports MCP server hosting, agent identities, OAuth and SSO, role-based access controls, observability, threat detection, audit logs, and token-based cost tracking. Its public pricing includes a free SDK tier for one SDK with up to 50 API methods, while current paid SDK, AI Control Plane, and Tokens Under Management rates require direct sales engagement; the formerly public $600-per-language monthly SDK price is no longer listed. The discussion emphasizes that total AI infrastructure costs include subscriptions, OpenAPI specification cleanup, integrations, compliance, and ongoing maintenance, and that SDKs primarily suit human developers while MCP gateways centralize access governance for AI agents. It compares Speakeasy with Mintive, another managed MCP gateway provider offering custom pricing, hosted connectors, role-based Virtual MCPs, security-policy integrations, and monitoring, while noting that organizations should assess deployment needs, governance requirements, usage patterns, data-residency constraints, and the tradeoff between self-managed infrastructure and managed platforms.
