What do AI agent governance tools for engineering teams cost?

Standard Compute's controls are priced per feature: provider allow-lists $199 a month, admin audit log $199, request audit export $299, SSO $399, or Enterprise at $1,499 with all of them. Region rules and zero data retention are free. LiteLLM Enterprise and Portkey Enterprise are priced on request.

Can we restrict which models each agent uses?

Yes. Decide which models each key can use, so every app and every team member gets exactly the models you approve. Requests for other models are rejected.

Can an agent's fallback route around our provider rules?

No. Provider allow-lists are enforced on every answer attempt and every fallback, and a request that no approved provider can serve is refused before anything is sent.

Is there a record of every agent request?

Yes. Every admin change is recorded with before and after values, and you can export a record of every request showing the model, the provider that served it and the region rule in force, kept for 12 months.

AI agent governance tools for engineering teams: pricing

Standard Compute governs every AI agent your engineering teams run, at published prices. Provider allow-lists and the admin audit log are $199 a month each, the request audit export is $299, SAML SSO is $399, and Enterprise at $1,499 a month includes them all. Region rules and the zero data retention requirement are free.

Every agent gets its own key with its own approved models and a fixed monthly budget that never overruns. The same rules apply to Claude, GPT, Gemini and open models such as GLM, DeepSeek and MiniMax, through one API.

Best AI agent oversight tools for enterprise teams: the controls that matter

Oversight for agents comes down to eight questions a security reviewer asks: who can run an agent, which models and providers it may use, where its data is processed, what it may spend, and what record it leaves. Standard Compute answers each with a setting, at company, team or key level. A lower level can only narrow a rule, never loosen it.

AI agent governance platform that works with OpenAI, Anthropic and open-source models

Governance only holds if every agent goes through it. Standard Compute is one API for Claude, GPT, Gemini and leading open models, OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible, so Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode and your own services all use the same keys and the same rules.

GLM, DeepSeek and MiniMax are also served by European providers for Europe-restricted workspaces, so an open-model policy and a data-location policy can apply to the same key.

Spending limits for coding agents

LiteLLM's open-source proxy includes budgets and rate limits if you run it yourself. Standard Compute is the managed route: each coding agent gets its own key with a fixed monthly budget, and at the budget the key stops with HTTP 402 instead of buying more. Optional top-off from a prepaid company balance keeps critical agents running until renewal.

Sandboxing the agent's file and shell access is the job of the agent runtime. The gateway governs what the agent may call and spend.
