Swap one URL. See everything.

RavenGate is the simple LLM gateway — cost, latency, and usage analytics for 9 providers, with PII redaction on by default. One config change, zero token markup.

Product tour

The whole product in 73 seconds

Spend, latency, redaction, and per-key control — exactly what you see after the URL swap.

Platform

Everything you need to run LLMs in production

Bring your own API keys. RavenGate sits in front of them and gives you the visibility your provider doesn't.

price_change

Watch your spending in real time

Every request is logged with full cost breakdowns by model, key, and app — no surprises at the end of the month.

speed

Measure response times that matter

Track p50/p95 latency and time-to-first-token across providers, so you know exactly where the slow requests are.

privacy_tip

Protect sensitive data automatically

Guardrails redact emails and credit card numbers before they're logged — on by default for every plan, including Free. Pro and Team add phone number and SSN redaction.

groups

Built for teams

Create an organization, invite teammates, and see spend by member with shared billing and per-seat limits.

Redaction you can see, not just a claim

Here's the same request before and after it passes through RavenGate's proxy layer. Email addresses and credit card numbers are stripped on every plan, including Free — before anything is written to your logs.

Why RavenGate

Built differently from the alternatives

The managed LLM proxy space is crowded. Here is what actually sets RavenGate apart.

shield_lock

Privacy by default, not by add-on

Emails and credit card numbers are stripped before they reach your logs on every plan, including Free. Pro and Team add phone number and SSN redaction — no configuration required, no enterprise tier to unlock the basics.

speed

Written in Go — not Python

The proxy core is compiled Go. Sub-millisecond routing overhead, no GIL, no event loop contention under load. At scale, the runtime your gateway runs on is not a footnote — it is the latency floor your users feel.

payments

BYOK — we charge for the platform, not the tokens

Your provider keys go directly to OpenAI, Anthropic, and the others. RavenGate adds no per-token margin. You pay $20/month for analytics, guardrails, and controls — your provider bill stays between you and your provider.

Already using Portkey or a similar gateway? Their strength is a broad control plane you configure yourself. RavenGate's is the opposite trade-off: redaction on by default, a smaller surface area, and a flat $20/month instead of usage-based gateway pricing.
