AI control plane for governing enterprise agents, MCP servers, and skills
Overview
Speakeasy is an AI control plane that helps enterprises govern the AI agents, MCP servers, and skills operating across their organization. It catalogs AI tools in use to combat shadow AI, extends identity providers like Okta and Entra ID to give each agent its own identity and role-based access, enforces security policy on prompts, responses, and tool calls in real time, and logs every allow/deny decision for compliance. The company originally built an API SDK generation product before repositioning around AI governance.
The honest half
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 Speakeasy.
Cross-shopped
Each pairing was judged by two reviewers asking whether a buyer would genuinely weigh the two against each other. The ones that failed were deleted rather than published.
Okta: Both extend identity and access management, though Okta covers human identity broadly while Speakeasy focuses on AI agents.
Stainless: Stainless remains focused on the SDK and MCP server generation use case Speakeasy has since moved away from.

Softwr does not host reviews and shows no star rating for Speakeasy, 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.
