Plugin coverage
AI Proxy abstracts provider routing. AI Prompt Guard enforces input policy. AI Semantic Cache reduces provider token cost when context repeats.
When Portkey is cheaper
Portkey on its own Production tier is cheaper than Konnect Plus + AI plugins for buyers who do not need Konnect for non-LLM gateway work.
Recent change
Kong continues to ship AI Proxy, AI Prompt Guard, and AI Semantic Cache as plugins available on Plus and Enterprise tiers.
Editor's note
Self-hosted OSS Kong with AI plugins is free at the binary level but carries the same ops overhead as Kong OSS.
