Cut LLM costs by up to 40%. One endpoint swap.
Compresses every prompt, routes to the cheapest model, and blocks requests before they exceed your budget. No code changes.
Your API key goes directly to OpenAI. GateCtr never touches your billing.
const openai = new OpenAI({ apiKey: process.env.GATECTR_API_KEY, // ← your providers stay in the dashboard baseURL: "https://api.gatectr.com/v1", // ← only endpoint change});Works with every major LLM provider
The problem
LLM costs are unpredictable. Until now.
Every API call is a black box. No visibility, no control, no alerts. Until the invoice arrives.
$0 → $4,200
Unexpected monthly invoice
One agent loop. No cap. Full bill.
60%
Tokens wasted on bloated prompts
Context you don't need. Tokens you still pay for.
0
Visibility on what's happening
No dashboard. No alerts. No audit trail.
Core features
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Six features. One endpoint swap. Full control.
Budget Firewall
Hard caps. Soft alerts. No surprise invoices.
Set a cap. Hit it → request blocked → $0 cost incurred. Every time.
Context Optimizer
Compresses your prompts. -40% tokens. Same output.
Saves an average of 312 tokens per request. Measured on every call.
Model Router
Picks the right LLM for each request automatically.
Always use the cheapest model that gets the job done. Automatically.
Usage Dashboard
Every token. Every cost. Real-time.
See exactly where your money goes. Per request, per project, per model.
Webhooks Engine
Push events to Slack, Teams, or any URL.
Budget alerts, usage reports, anomaly detection — wherever your team lives.
RBAC & Audit Logs
Owner, Admin, Member, Viewer. 90 days history.
Role-based access for teams. Full audit trail. Compliance-ready.
How it works
One swap. Full control.
No SDK lock-in. No architecture changes. Just swap the endpoint.
Swap your endpoint
Replace your LLM provider URL with GateCtr. Keep your existing API keys.
GateCtr takes control
Every request is optimized, routed, and measured automatically.
You save. You see everything.
Real-time dashboard. Budget alerts. -40% token cost from day one.
Integration
Up and running in 5 min.
Node.js, Python, cURL, or drop-in with your existing OpenAI client. Zero architecture changes.
import { GateCtr } from '@gatectr/sdk';const client = new GateCtr({ apiKey: process.env.GATECTR_API_KEY });const response = await client.complete({ model: 'gpt-4o', messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello' }],});console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);How we compare
Competitors observe. GateCtr controls.
Routing or logging alone won't cut your bill. GateCtr combines prompt compression, intelligent routing, and hard budget caps — in one endpoint swap.
