Why look beyond Requesty?
Requesty is a unified LLM gateway and router that provides access to 400+ models across 20+ providers through a single OpenAI-compatible API endpoint. Based in London, the company positions itself as 'Cloudflare for AI' — an infrastructure layer that sits between applications and LLM providers, handling intelligent routing, automatic failover, cost optimization, and enterprise governance.
Common reasons users explore alternatives
- Tiny team of ~5 employees — startup durability is a concern for enterprise buyers
- Limited community presence with no organic developer discussions on Reddit or Hacker News
- Recent pivot from data analytics (2025) — long-term commitment to LLM gateway space unproven
- No open-source option unlike competitor LiteLLM
