KeyC vs LiteLLM: managed spend control vs self-hosted infra

LiteLLM is an excellent open-source proxy if you want to own routing, fallbacks, and DevOps. Many teams run it successfully — and spend sprints keeping it up.

KeyC is not trying to replace every LiteLLM feature. We focus on what hurts small teams and agencies most: virtual keys, hard budgets, per-key cost, and instant revoke — as a managed service.

If you need multi-cloud routing experiments and custom plugins, LiteLLM may fit. If you need finance-grade caps and client receipts without operating Redis/Postgres yourself, start with KeyC.
