InWorld AI vs Orq.ai (2026)

Pros

• No markup on routed third-party models, including bring-your-own-key traffic
• Routing rules change without a redeploy
• Sticky user assignment keeps A/B tests consistent across sessions

Cons

• No built-in evals, so quality per model has to be measured in your own analytics
• Observability is request-level, not nested agent traces
• Routing rules are written by hand in CEL for anything beyond auto model selection
• Plans are shared with Inworld's voice products, so router limits sit inside a broader platform plan

Pros

• Gateway, observability, evals, prompts, and agent runtime in one platform
• EU-hosted by default, with VPC, on-prem, and air-gapped options on Enterprise
• Unlimited gateway seats, with usage billed by spans and data

Cons

• A platform fee applies to model traffic: 4.5% on Orq credits, 4% on BYOK past 1M requests a month
• AI Studio, the UI for prompts, agents, and experiments, costs €35 per seat per month
