Overview

What LiteLLM does

Open source AI gateway and LLM proxy unifying access to 140+ providers behind one API.

The honest half

Where it falls short

Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about LiteLLM.

  • SSO, RBAC, JWT authentication, and audit logs are all reserved for the Enterprise tier, which is not self-serve and requires a custom quote on top of the free open source core, as of August 2026.

Cross-shopped

Softwr does not host reviews and shows no star rating for LiteLLM, because a rating we did not collect is not ours to publish. What is here is the pricing and platform detail from the vendor’s own pages, limitations we could state concretely, and alternatives a reviewer confirmed people weigh against it. Tell us if any of it is wrong.
