10 LiteLLM alternatives, by popularity
-
Turns websites into clean Markdown or structured data for AI agents: scrape, crawl, map and search the web through one API.
- Less widely used (Gid Score 63 vs 73)
-
An open-source platform for tracing, evaluating and debugging LLM apps and agents: every model and tool call with its cost and latency, prompt management, datasets and evaluations.
- Less widely used (Gid Score 63 vs 73)
-
Secure cloud sandboxes where AI agents run code, use a filesystem and terminal, and browse, isolated from your own machines.
- Less widely used (Gid Score 60 vs 73)
-
Connects AI agents to 1,000+ apps and APIs with managed authentication, tool search and a sandboxed workbench, so agents can take actions in tools like GitHub, Slack and Gmail.
- Less widely used (Gid Score 55 vs 73)
- Growing fast: usage up 34% in 30 days
-
An open-source web crawler and scraper that turns any website into clean, LLM-ready Markdown, run on your own machine or through Crawl4AI Cloud.
- Less widely used (Gid Score 55 vs 73)
-
A memory layer for AI agents and apps: it extracts facts from conversations, stores them and retrieves the relevant ones later, so an agent remembers users and past work across sessions.
- Less widely used (Gid Score 47 vs 73)
-
Packs a whole repository, or the parts you choose, into one AI-friendly file with a token count per file, so you can give a codebase to a model or agent in one go.
- Less widely used (Gid Score 46 vs 73)
-
Gives coding agents up-to-date, version-specific documentation and code examples for libraries, through an MCP server or API, instead of relying on what the model memorised.
- Less widely used (Gid Score 44 vs 73)
-
Traces, evaluates and troubleshoots LLM apps and agents, built on OpenTelemetry, with prompt experiments and datasets. Runs locally, self-hosted or in the cloud.
- Proprietary
- Less widely used (Gid Score 44 vs 73)
-
Compresses tool outputs, logs, files, RAG chunks and conversation history before they reach the model, so agents use fewer tokens. Runs locally as a library, a proxy, an agent wrapper or an MCP server; originals stay cached and can be retrieved on demand.
- Less widely used (Gid Score 42 vs 73)
