STOA's verdictFor builders
LiteLLM is best for small businesses that have a developer on staff and are already building AI-powered apps using multiple AI models.
The big win is that you can switch between OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and 100+ other AI providers without rewriting your code, plus you get cost tracking built in. The catch is that this is a technical tool — if you don't have someone comfortable with self-hosting and APIs, you'll hit a wall fast.

The open-source gateway is free to self-host with SSO free for up to 5 users, and the enterprise license is for teams running it at scale (100+ users or 10+ production AI use-cases).docs.litellm.ai
