Choose moby if…

  • moby ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.

When NOT to use moby

  • Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
  • Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic.
  • LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.

Choose incognide if…

  • License: incognide is MIT, moby is Apache-2.0.

When NOT to use incognide

  • LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
