Requesty review
A managed, EU-resident gateway for routing, observing and controlling LLM usage.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Requesty is a managed LLM gateway for developers and organizations running AI applications across multiple providers. Its OpenAI-compatible API routes requests across 20 providers, with automatic fallbacks, load balancing, latency-based routing and prompt caching. The platform is available through the web and API, and fits small, mid-market and enterprise teams that want managed infrastructure rather than a self-hosted gateway. EU data residency makes it particularly relevant for teams with European data-handling requirements.
Pricing is structured around a free plan, usage-based access and Enterprise features. The Free plan costs 0 USD per day, billed monthly, and includes access to free models, routing, caching and fallbacks, spend tracking and analytics, and EU data residency. Pay as you go adds access to 600+ models, bring-your-own provider keys, routing policies, caching, fallbacks, spend limits, budget caps, advanced observability and email support; its pricing uses a 5% markup on model cost. Enterprise adds SSO, full RBAC and audit logs, approved models and policies, team and spend controls, guardrails, PII detection, dedicated support and custom SLAs.
Requesty's ecosystem coverage is a practical strength. It integrates with OpenAI SDK, Anthropic SDK, LangChain, PydanticAI, Vercel AI SDK, Haystack, LlamaIndex, Claude Code, Cline, n8n, LibreChat and OpenWebUI. Key controls include usage, cost and latency analytics, virtual keys, budget caps, provider key management, approved-model lists and guardrails. Teams that need managed routing, provider flexibility and EU residency should consider Requesty. Organizations requiring self-hosted deployment should choose a gateway with an available self-hosting option instead.
