OfoxAI vs Portkey

Two fact sheets from our own research, side by side — pricing, platforms, API access and status re-checked by us rather than quoted from the vendors.

The short answer

Entry price: OfoxAI from $0.44/credit, Portkey from $49/mo — different billing units, so no direct winner
Free plan: Only Portkey (OfoxAI has paid plans only)
Public API: Both have one
Higher Trust score: Portkey — 91 vs 73 for OfoxAI
Best fit: OfoxAI: Developers who want to test or mix multiple LLM providers without rewriting SDK calls · Portkey: Teams calling several LLM providers who want a single API with fallbacks and caching

From our own records as of each tool's last check. Anything we have not confirmed is left out rather than guessed. How we verify

OfoxAIOpenAI-compatible gateway routing requests to 100+ language, image, and video models by swapping a base URL.

PortkeyAI gateway that routes requests to 1,600+ models through one API, with caching, fallbacks, guardrails and observability.

What our research says

OfoxAI

OfoxAI's whole pitch is the swap-the-base-URL simplicity of staying OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible while gaining access to 100+ models, which removes the integration cost of testing a new provider. Pricing is genuinely pay-as-you-go with no subscription, but per-model rates span two orders of magnitude, so the actual bill depends heavily on which models get used.

Pros

OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible endpoints mean no SDK rewrite to switch providers
No platform fee — pricing is pass-through usage rates, not a markup subscription
Covers text, image, and video generation through the same gateway

Cons

Per-model pricing varies enormously, from under a dollar to tens of dollars per million tokens, so costs need active monitoring
As a routing middleman, reliability depends on both OfoxAI's own uptime and the underlying providers it wraps
A small, newly identifiable Singapore entity rather than an established infrastructure vendor

Portkey

Portkey is a mature way to put one gateway in front of many model providers, with failover, caching and logging included. It suits teams running LLM apps in production that want cost and reliability controls without writing them. The acquisition by a security vendor is likely to steer the roadmap toward enterprise governance, so small teams should watch pricing and packaging.

Pros

Open-source MIT-licensed gateway that can be self-hosted
Routing, fallbacks, load balancing and semantic caching in one place
Free developer tier and a $49 production tier with published overage pricing
Observability, guardrails and prompt management on the same platform

Cons

The free tier is limited to 10,000 logs and is not meant for production
Brand and packaging are shifting under Palo Alto Networks' Prisma AIRS
Advanced governance, SSO and VPC hosting need the Enterprise plan

Which one fits

Choose OfoxAI if you need

Developers who want to test or mix multiple LLM providers without rewriting SDK calls
Teams already using OpenAI-compatible tooling who want a drop-in multi-model backend
Cost-sensitive projects that want to route cheap tasks to budget models and pay premium rates only where needed

Choose Portkey if you need

Teams calling several LLM providers who want a single API with fallbacks and caching
Platform teams that need guardrails, logs and access control around model usage
