Kaeso alternatives

Kaeso is a free, open-source gateway that you self-host to route requests to multiple AI providers, with managed keys, spend and rate limits, request logs and single sign-on. When choosing an alternative, weigh whether you need self-hosting, team governance controls, or a hosted single-key service for developer tools and coding agents.
