AI gateway
TVIJO vs Portkey
Both sit in front of your model providers. Portkey is a focused, mature AI gateway. TVIJO is a broader control plane that adds a governance and audit-evidence layer on top of the same gateway capabilities.
What Portkey does well
Portkey is an excellent AI gateway: a unified API across providers, smart routing and fallbacks, caching, request logging, budget limits and guardrails. If you primarily need a fast, reliable gateway in front of many LLMs, Portkey does that job very well.
Where TVIJO fits
TVIJO covers the same gateway essentials — routing, BYOK, budget guards, PII handling — but its centre of gravity is governance: turning every request into board- and auditor-ready evidence, with EU AI Act readiness workflows built in.

|---|---|---|
| Unified multi-provider API | ✓ | ✓ |
| Smart routing & fallbacks | ✓ | ✓ |
| Caching | Partial | ✓ |
| Budget guards / spend caps | ✓ | ✓ |
| BYOK key vault | ✓ | ✓ |
| PII / secrets guard | ✓ | ✓ |

| EU AI Act readiness workflows | ✓ | — |
| Risk classification & policy packs | ✓ | Partial |
Choose Portkey if…
- You mainly need a battle-tested gateway with caching and fallbacks.
- Your priority is raw latency, throughput and provider coverage.
- You already have governance handled elsewhere.
Choose TVIJO if…
- You need audit evidence and compliance reporting, not just logs.
- EU AI Act readiness is on your roadmap.
- You want routing, spend and governance in one cockpit instead of stitched tools.
In short: TVIJO is not a drop-in replacement for Portkey's gateway depth. If gateway performance is your only need, Portkey is a great choice. TVIJO is for teams that also need governance and audit evidence in the same layer.
