Comparison

Cloptima vs TrueFoundry

TrueFoundry's AI Gateway is part of a broader platform for deploying, serving, and fine-tuning models in your own cloud. Cloptima focuses on governing AI usage: one policy on every request, guardrails with a Monitor only rollout, budgets, tool policies, and an attributed spend record, on a hosted gateway or a private edge gateway in your VPC. Choose TrueFoundry for an MLOps platform; choose Cloptima to govern the AI your teams already use.

Where Cloptima fits

When Cloptima is the better fit

Governance First

Cloptima starts from the question security and finance ask: who may use which model and tool, with which safeguards, at what cost. Every request answers it through a policy.

Start In Minutes

Change the base URL, issue a virtual key, and bind a policy. No platform to install before your first governed request.

Private When You Need It

Move sensitive traffic to a private edge gateway in your VPC with the same policies, guardrails, and budgets enforced locally.
