gateway alternatives (markdown)
Both Adaline Gateway and 9router offer functionalities for managing and interacting with LLMs, positioning them as alternatives in the AI toolset.
Both AIChat and Adaline Gateway enable integration with over 20 LLM providers, allowing users to access a wide range of models through unified interfaces.
Both are gateways that provide access to multiple LLMs, acting as an interface for users to access different models via a single API or SDK.
Both GPTRouter and adaline-gateway aim to facilitate calling multiple LLMs by providing an integrated interface or SDK.
litellm and Adaline Gateway both provide unified interfaces for interacting with a large number of LLMs, making them alternatives in the space.
Both LitGPT and adaline/gateway offer gateways to interact with a variety of LLMs, though they cover different sets.
adaline-gateway and llmfit both provide access to multiple LLMs, but adaline-gateway seems more focused on direct model calls while llmfit is about finding which models run efficiently.
Both ollama and gateway aim to simplify the use of multiple LLMs, but ollama focuses more on getting up and running quickly while Gateway offers a comprehensive toolkit with more features like caching and OpenTelemetry.

When NOT to use gateway
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- When your project only involves a few specific LLMs that don't require a comprehensive, unified SDK; in this case using direct SDKs from those LLM providers could simplify your setup.
- If you are working primarily in languages other than TypeScript and need an SDK that supports those environments natively for better performance or community support.

Head-to-head comparisons
Common questions
- What are the best alternatives to gateway?
- Graph-backed alternatives to gateway include 9router, aichat, gateway, GPTRouter, litellm. GraphCanon ranks them by typed relationship edges and constraint overlap from decision_facts - not marketing votes or raw star sort.
- How does GraphCanon rank gateway alternatives?
- Direct alternative and successor edges from the knowledge graph come first, ordered by edge type and shared constraint facets (persona, runtime, hosting). Category neighbours fill the list only after curated edges. Stars are shown for context, not as the primary sort.
- When should I avoid gateway?
- When your project only involves a few specific LLMs that don't require a comprehensive, unified SDK; in this case using direct SDKs from those LLM providers could simplify your setup. If you are working primarily in languages other than TypeScript and need an SDK that supports those environments natively for better performance or community support.
