How DVARA compares
Five things that matter when you swap your AI gateway. Every Portkey claim below is sourced from portkey.ai/pricing and portkey.ai/docs. We update this page when Portkey's pricing or feature set changes.
| DVARA | Portkey | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | $59/mo flat. 10M tokens included. No per-request overage. | $49/mo base + per-request overage above the included quota. |
| Audit trail | Cryptographically signed and chained. Tamper-evident end-to-end. 30-day retention on Solo, up to 1 year on Growth. | Observability logs. Retention depends on plan tier. |
| Multi-tenancy | First-class tenants — per-tenant policies, audit, costs, rate limits, and provider keys, not one shared key. | Workspaces, per Portkey documentation. |
| BYOK depth | Per-tenant provider credentials, encrypted at rest. Rotation with grace-period overlap. Vault integration available. | BYOK supported, per Portkey documentation. |
| Governance features | Policy-as-Code engine, PII detection and redaction, MCP Proxy with approval gates and loop detection, SOC2 / HIPAA / GDPR evidence packages. | Observability, guardrails, prompt versioning. No MCP governance, no Policy-as-Code engine. |
