Product Information on Portkey

Updated 19th April 2025

What is Portkey?

Managing visibility across all your LLM requests can be challenging. How do you trace and measure cost, latency, and accuracy? Portkey’s OpenTelemetry-compliant observability suite offers full control over your requests, while its analytics dashboards provide the insights needed to optimize performance. Logs:Records all your multimodal requests and responses, making it easy to view, monitor, and debug interactions. Tracing: Request tracing to help you monitor your applications throughout the lifecycle of a request. Analytics: A comprehensive view of 21+ key metrics to analyze data, spot trends, and make informed decisions. Filters: Streamline your data view with customizable filters. Custom Metadata: Enrich your LLM APIs with custom metadata. Assign unique tags for swift grouping and troubleshooting. Feedback: Add feedback values and weights to complete the loop. Budget Limits: Budget limits for your provider API keys to control application costs.

Portkey Pricing

Portkey has a generous free tier (10k requests/month) on our Dev plan — but, as you move to production-scale, you may benefit from Portkey’s Pro or Enterprise plans.

“Portkey Enhances LLM Observatory, Guardrails, Security, and Cost Management Significantly”

5.0
May 16, 2025
Portkey has been a crucial part of our success with LLM observability, guardrails, and cost management. The Portkey team has also been there every step of the way to make sure our implementation was successful and met our needs. Not only was the implementation smooth, but if we did find ourselves with questions, the Portkey team was very responsive and eager to help support us. Now that we are in production with Portkey we are seeing the true value of the product for not only our original needs (LLM observability, guardrails, and cost management), but also for other aspects such as model agnostic development and analytic insights to how the application is being used by users.

Performance of Portkey Across Market Features

Portkey Likes & Dislikes

Like

- Observability - the ability to see the details of prompts, responses, latency, user info, etc. - Guardrails - ability to prevent PII, toxicity, bias, etc. - Cost Management - setting rate/budget limits, seeing what each call/app is costing - Redundancy/Failover - allowing retry logic or to failover to another LLM provider if one is available without any code change - Model agnostic development - being able to change LLMs on the back-end of the application without having to change any code.

Like

load balancer auditing fancy dashboard

Like

Love the loadbalancer feature and how we can register different replicas of LLMs serving using different URLs on the application seamlessly. It basically acts as a middleware which monitors and serves the traffic going through internal services

Dislike

It's hard to find much to dislike, but if I had to really pick Portkey apart I would say: - Constant changing - because of the AI landscape changing right now, Portkey has to try to keep up with new processes/platforms/features. Because of this, the product seems to have updates almost every other day. -Workspace level security settings - at the time of writing this, there is only org level security settings. It would be nice to be able to assign these at a workspace level

Dislike

going beyond the unique POV of product. version control missing of IaC code capability

Dislike

The roles for access could be more granular to setup access for different contributors on the team - more like a suggestion but it still works great in our current case.

    Portkey's Multiplexing Ability Protects User Experience During Outages

    4.0
    Apr 14, 2025
    Overall experience has been great with Portkey. It has been a saviour at times when some of the LLM providers are down, helping us multiplex between other providers/infrastructure and preventing users from seeing errors. The team has been supportive too in listening to feedback and helping us with smooth deployments.
