  "tagline": "AI gateway with guardrails",
  "price": "Developer free forever (10,000 logs/mo, 3-day log retention), Production $49/mo (100k logs, $9 per extra 100k), Enterprise custom for 10M+ logs. Open-source gateway is self-hostable.",
  "tier": "mixed",
  "pick": false,
  "what": "An AI <b>gateway</b> that sits between your app and providers: one API for 250+ models with automatic fallbacks, load balancing, retries, semantic caching, budget-capped virtual keys and guardrails, plus built-in observability. It is a control plane, not a model host.",
  "why": "When one provider going down must not take your app with it, Portkey fails over automatically. Virtual keys with hard budget caps stop a runaway loop or a leaked key from producing a five-figure bill.",
  "warn": "The free tier keeps logs for only 3 days, often too short to debug an incident reported the next week. The hosted gateway adds a network hop unless you self-host it.",
  "install": "npm i portkey-ai (or pip install portkey-ai)",
