Requesty
One-line AI gateway routing across 400+ models, pay-per-use pricing
Overview
Requesty is an OpenAI-compatible AI gateway giving one integration point to 400+ LLM models, with automatic failover, semantic caching, spend limits and EU data residency. Switching in is a one-line SDK change; pricing is a flat 5% markup on provider rates.

Requesty in Southeast Asia

Requesty's whole pitch is that you keep writing OpenAI-SDK calls and it handles the rest: routing across 400+ models, automatic failover, semantic caching, budget caps and an MCP Gateway, all behind one endpoint. The free tier (200 requests/day on free models, no card required) is a genuinely low-friction way to try it before committing spend.
The pricing model — a flat 5% markup on whatever the underlying provider charges — is easier to reason about than the usage tiers most competitors run, and the Enterprise plan adds SSO, RBAC, PII detection and EU/US/APAC data residency for teams that need it.
The catch: public third-party validation is thin. G2 shows only a handful of reviews, and it's a young entrant competing directly against better-established gateways — Portkey, OpenRouter, Cloudflare AI Gateway and the fully open-source Bifrost. Worth trialing on the free tier before routing production traffic through it, and worth checking the 5% markup against a flat-fee competitor at your actual volume.
What people say
Requesty is thin on independent review coverage for a product with this feature list. G2 lists it with a 5-out-of-5 rating, but from only three reviews — not enough to treat as a statistically meaningful signal, though the reviews that exist are specific rather than generic: one user described using it to "identify at which level of the product there might be problems encountered by users," another noted the platform is "early stage so little things to improve, but the team is really fast" to respond.
Positioning-wise, Requesty shows up in the same comparison articles as Portkey, OpenRouter, Cloudflare AI Gateway, LiteLLM and Bifrost — the current crop of LLM-gateway/router products competing on model breadth, failover latency and governance features rather than raw model quality. Requesty's differentiators in that set are its claimed sub-20ms failover, EU/US/APAC data residency (relevant for teams needing in-region processing), and a flat 5% markup instead of the tiered or seat-based pricing several competitors use.
On GitHub, the requestyai organization publishes SDK and integration tooling — a Python client, a CLI, Vercel AI SDK and LlamaIndex.TS adapters, a LibreChat config — but the core gateway itself is closed-source and run as a managed service, unlike Bifrost or Portkey's gateway, which ship the routing engine itself as open source. That's worth knowing going in if self-hosting or auditing the routing logic matters to you.
The free tier (200 requests/day, no credit card) and $10 in starter credits make it low-risk to test against your own workload before deciding whether the 5% markup beats a flat-fee alternative at your volume. For teams already using OpenAI-compatible SDKs, the one-line switch-in is a genuine convenience; the main open question is how it holds up in production at scale, where there just isn't much public feedback yet. Compare it directly against Portkey and OpenRouter on your own traffic before committing, since the fee structures diverge enough at volume to matter.
