For teams graduating from LiteLLM

LiteLLM Cloud usage-priced.
DVARA Solo $59 flat.

LiteLLM is an excellent developer tool. When the workload moves to production — multiple tenants, an auditor, a compliance officer, MCP-style tool calls — DVARA is the next chapter. Same drop-in OpenAI compatibility, plus a full AI governance platform on top.

Migrate in three steps

Drop-in OpenAI compatibility means no code rewrite. Your existing application keeps using the OpenAI SDK — only the base URL changes.

  1. 1

    Sign up for DVARA Solo

    $59/mo, flat. 10M tokens included. No usage-priced surprises as your traffic scales — you stay on the same line item until you upgrade.

  2. 2

    Point your OpenAI SDK at DVARA

    Change the base_url from LiteLLM Cloud to DVARA. Everything else stays the same — model names, request shape, streaming, structured outputs, tool calls.

    Before — LiteLLM Cloud
    from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.litellm.ai/v1",
    api_key="<your-litellm-key>",
)
    After — DVARA
    from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.dvarahq.com/v1",
    api_key="<your-dvara-key>",
)
  3. 3

    Paste your provider keys in Flightdeck

    Open the DVARA Flightdeck console at flightdeck.dvarahq.com, go to Provider credentials, and add your OpenAI / Anthropic / Gemini / Bedrock keys. Each key is encrypted at rest and stays scoped to your tenant.

    First call lands in DVARA within minutes — every request is policy-evaluated, audited, and cost-attributed before it leaves your perimeter.

For LiteLLM OSS users

Outgrew the proxy?

LiteLLM the open-source project is a great way to start — a single binary that hides the differences between OpenAI, Anthropic, and a long tail of providers. It earned the ecosystem affinity it has.

What changes when production catches up: you need first-class tenants instead of one shared key, a signed audit trail your auditor can verify, Policy-as-Code that a compliance reviewer can read, and tool-call governance for every agent that ships through the same path. That's what DVARA is — drop-in OpenAI compatibility kept, plus an AI governance platform on top.

The migration shape is the same as LiteLLM Cloud — swap the base_url and paste your provider keys in Flightdeck. If you'd rather self-host, our self-host tier (license key, deploy in your own VPC) is available today — see the pricing page.

Loop detection, approval gates, kill switch, and a unified LLM + MCP session timeline. Pick the tier that matches your throughput; the agent governance comes with it.
