Self-host versus SaaS

Self-host is the right answer for teams with strong K8s operating discipline and PII or sovereignty constraints. SaaS is the right answer when observability and guardrail config UX matter.

Cost-per-feature

Portkey's per-feature cost (semantic cache, guardrails, prompt versioning) is rarely the dominant line; provider token cost dominates.

Recent change

Portkey continues to publish a Free and Production tier and to open-source the gateway runtime under MIT.

Editor's note

Self-host of the OSS gateway is free; SaaS adds observability, guardrails, and config management. We do not infer the Enterprise list.
