Vatan Gateway vs Portkey
Portkey is the mature version of the models half, with far more models and a real customer base.
Portkey is the mature version of the models half, with far more models and a real customer base. We are smaller and newer. The reason to pick us is the tool plane on the same key and the same bill, and billing that works in GBP and inside Iran.
Use Portkey if
You want the largest model catalogue and a vendor with thousands of teams already on it. On the models plane alone they are ahead of us and it is not close.
| Vatan | Portkey | |
|---|---|---|
| Models Ours reach us through an aggregator rather than integrations we wrote. Theirs is still the bigger catalogue. | 399 models | 1,600+ LLMs |
| Customers | None yet, stated plainly | 3,000+ GenAI teams |
| Compliance | no | HIPAA noted on their site |
| Guardrails | Injection, PII, secrets, on both planes | PII redaction, output management |
| Prompt management | Stored prompts with versions | Prompt studio |
| MCP gateway Both have one. Ours is the half of the product with the most work in it. | Approval, grants, credential custody, change hold | MCP gateway |
| One key across models and tools | One key for models and tools, one bill | Two products |
| GBP and a second rail | GBP, with the FX rate stamped on every request, and IRR modelled | no |
| Included tokens in the fee | A monthly token allowance drawn before the balance | no |
| Runs in your infrastructure Both can sit in your network. Neither of us hands you the source. | Enterprise: we deploy and operate it in your infrastructure | Hybrid: self-hosted gateway, SaaS control plane |
