Scored by Alex after real useOur verdict
LiteLLM is great for tracking spend and routing requests efficiently. But it's not ideal if you need complex governance or high-level support.

Model RoutingSend each request to the appropriate model for efficiency.
Open-SourceFree to self-host with access to many models and agents.
✕Where it falls short

Limited GovernanceLacks advanced governance features for large organizations.
Steep Setup CostPricing is per annual gateway request capacity, not per token.
