## Choose when

### Choose gateway if…

- Pricing: The repository description does not include pricing information. The software is available under the MIT license which allows for free usage but does not detail commercial support costs or enterprise-.
- Both GPTRouter and adaline-gateway aim to facilitate calling multiple LLMs by providing an integrated interface or SDK.
- Tags unique to gateway: llm, openai, typescript, prompt-engineering.
- Also covers Inference & Serving.
- - You require a fully local execution environment, thus avoiding any internet dependency or proxy setup.

### Choose GPTRouter if…

- Pricing: GPTRouter is available under the MIT license, which supports free use and modification for both personal and commercial projects without requiring attribution..
- Both GPTRouter and adaline-gateway aim to facilitate calling multiple LLMs by providing an integrated interface or SDK.
- Tags unique to GPTRouter: langchain, mlops, llama-index, azure-openai.
- Also covers Model Training.
- GPTRouter ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
- - When you need flexible management across various AI models to ensure non-stop service without being dependent on just one model.
- If your application requires handling latency issues effectively,GP

## When NOT to use gateway

- - Your project depends on cloud-based API endpoints that require internet connectivity; Gateway operates fully locally and does not function as an online proxy.
- - You do not need support from over 300 LLMs or the extensive feature set provided by Gateway, preferring a simpler SDK with fewer integrations.

## When NOT to use GPTRouter

- - When the requirement is to use only one specific AI model for all requests and not switching models.
- If you need streaming capabilities specifically with Image Models, as GPTRouter currently does
