# Requesty Requesty is an [[AI Gateway]] and LLM router offering 600+ models across 30+ providers behind one OpenAI-compatible API. It sits in the same category as [[OpenRouter]], with routing, automatic failover chains, prompt caching, observability dashboards, role-based access control and PII masking. ## The honest pricing detail Requesty charges a **5% markup on model costs**, with every feature included. That is worth pausing on, because most of the market went the other way: [[Vercel AI Gateway]], Cloudflare, [[Portkey]] and OpenRouter have pushed per-token markup to zero and monetize elsewhere. Requesty is charging for the layer openly instead of hiding the business model. You can decide whether 5% buys you enough. For a team that would otherwise build failover chains and spend dashboards themselves, it often does. For high-volume traffic, 5% compounds fast. ## Data handling GDPR compliance with a DPA on request, EU data residency options, and PII masking at the gateway. The residency option is the interesting one, since most US-centric routers ([[Ramp Router]] among them) simply do not offer Europe at all. [[Bring Your Own Key (BYOK)]] is supported across providers, so you can keep your own contracts and still use the routing and observability. ## References - Official website: https://requesty.ai/ - Documentation: https://docs.requesty.ai/ - Pricing: https://requesty.ai/pricing ## Related - [[AI Gateway]] - [[Model routing]] - [[OpenRouter]] - [[Vercel AI Gateway]] - [[Portkey]] - [[Ramp Router]] - [[Bring Your Own Key (BYOK)]] - [[AI Observability]]
