Our verdict

CloudIDR suits teams that want one predictable gateway bill, since the fee model is flat monthly per organisation and token spend stays with the model provider. It is a US company founded in 2023, and at 4 providers routed it covers a narrower roster than most gateways here.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Billing is flat monthly per organisation, so adding colleagues does not raise the subscription.
  • Bring your own key is supported, so existing provider contracts stay in place.
  • The endpoint is OpenAI-compatible, so most client libraries need only a changed base URL and key.

Cons

  • Provider breadth is the limit: 4 providers routed, against a category median of 9.
  • The fee model does not include tokens, so a team carries a second bill with the model provider.

Scored 9.0 / 10 by DeployCue.

Who it suits

  • Small teams that want a fixed monthly bill instead of per-seat charges.
  • Organisations that already hold their own model provider keys and want one OpenAI-compatible endpoint in front of them.
  • Buyers who want phone and help-centre support next to email.

Who should look elsewhere

  • LiteLLM, if you would rather self-host the gateway under an open-source licence and skip a vendor subscription.
  • Salad, if paying per token suits you better than a flat monthly fee.
  • UCloud, if you need a provider roster wider than 4.

Plans, egress and billing

Billing is a flat monthly fee per organisation, with no per-seat charges, so the subscription does not rise when more people on the team start calling models. Token cost is separate: you pay the LLM provider directly, and CloudIDR sits in front of it as a pass-through proxy. A free tier is offered, which gives a small team a way to size the setup before committing to a paid plan.

Frequently asked questions

How many AI providers can CloudIDR route traffic to?+

CloudIDR routes 4 providers through one proxy endpoint. The median across gateways listed here is 9, so the roster is on the narrow side and a model outside it means going to the provider directly.

What does CloudIDR charge for the gateway itself?+

The fee model is a flat monthly amount per organisation with no per-seat charges, and the gateway works as a pass-through proxy, so you pay the LLM provider directly for tokens. For comparison, Salad prices at Flat monthly subscription or pay per token, and LiteLLM self-hosting is free forever under an MIT licence.

Is there a free tier to try before paying?+

A free tier is offered, so a small team can size the setup before committing. Once you pay, the flat monthly fee covers the whole organisation rather than each seat, and the OpenAI-compatible endpoint serves 4 routed providers through one base URL.

Can I use my own API keys?+

Yes. Bring your own key is supported across the 4 providers CloudIDR routes, so your contracts and billing stay with the model providers. The subscription covers the proxy in front of them, not the tokens themselves.

What support can I reach if the proxy breaks?+

Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so email, phone, a help centre and a community are all listed. In this category phone is the least common channel at 19.5%, against 82.9% for help centres.

Where is CloudIDR based and how long has it run?+

It is a US company, headquartered in the United States and founded in 2023. Buyers who sign a monthly subscription are committing to a young operation, so the contract length is worth checking against a provider roster of 4 providers.

How does CloudIDR compare with wider gateways?+

UCloud routes from 4 providers, so it covers a wider roster than CloudIDR at 4. CloudIDR ranks 14 of 17 on provider breadth here, and its overall score reads 0.9, with the offer part at 0.9.
