Requesty
A routing layer that unifies many models with spend controls and automatic failover.
Requesty is a hosted routing layer over a large set of models, with an emphasis on cost control: spend caps, usage analytics, caching, and automatic fallback between providers.
It targets teams that want to keep model spend predictable and visible without building that governance themselves.
Where it fits
A fit when controlling and forecasting model spend across providers is a priority and a hosted router is acceptable.
Where it does not fit
A hosted service in the data path: wrong where all traffic must stay within your own perimeter.
