A dated positioning comparison, not a product verdict
Portkey and DUBSAR continue to evolve. DUBSAR remains in private testing and does not claim the maturity or breadth of an established platform unless a capability has been proven.
DUBSAR and Portkey
What Portkey already does well
Portkey documents a mature AI Gateway with a common API, routing, retries, caching, observability and input or output guardrails. Teams seeking a broad developer gateway should treat those capabilities as a real strength.

The different angle DUBSAR is taking
DUBSAR starts with use discovery and a deterministic policy authority, then connects human review and evidence to selected enterprise flows. France-hosted Scaleway routing is a target policy option being proven, not a generally available claim or a suggestion that Portkey lacks security.
- AI-use discovery before rollout
- Deterministic policy separated from agents
- Human review for defined sensitive cases
- Evidence and coverage limits in the Cockpit

How to choose without relying on a logo grid
Choose based on the operating problem. A developer platform may favour Portkey; an organisation prioritising accountable decisions and a governed rollout may evaluate DUBSAR. The products could also sit in complementary layers.
Verify current documentation, deployment region, data handling, pricing and the exact flow you need before making a decision.

Frequently asked questions
What to know before going further.
Does DUBSAR replace Portkey feature for feature?
No. This page explains overlap and differences. DUBSAR remains in private testing and should be evaluated on a bounded real flow.
Can the products be used together?
Potentially, but only with a clear traffic path, data boundary and division of responsibility. An integration must be tested rather than assumed.
