RaksHex vs Portkey

Portkey is the best LLM gateway and router on the market. If you need gateway features + security + compliance in one stack, RaksHex covers the gaps Portkey leaves open.

Feature	Portkey	RaksHex
LLM Gateway / Router	Advanced (fallbacks, retries, load balancing)	Basic routing + kill switch integration
Prompt Management	Versioned prompt playground	Policy-based prompt guards
Prompt Injection Detection	Not available	Built-in engine with 50+ payloads
API Security Scanning	Not available	Postman / OpenAPI scanner + credential leak detection
Shadow API Detection	Not available	Automatic discovery of undocumented endpoints
Compliance Reporting	Not available	PCI DSS, OWASP, SOC 2 mapped controls
Kill Switch / Budget Enforcement	Basic rate limits	Hard kill switch + budget cap + multi-channel alerts
VS Code Extension	Not available	In-editor scanning + real-time warnings
GitHub App / PR Scanning	Not available	PR-level security gate + auto-fix suggestions
On-premise / Self-hosted	Enterprise plan only	Docker Compose (free tier)

When to choose Portkey

You need sophisticated LLM routing and failover
Prompt versioning and A/B testing are critical
You want a managed gateway (not self-hosted)
Security is handled by another team/tool

When to choose RaksHex

Compliance (PCI DSS, SOC 2) is non-negotiable
You want to scan API collections for security gaps
You prefer self-hosted with full data sovereignty
You want one platform instead of gateway + security + compliance tools
