The record

Product: Routerly is a self-hosted gateway between applications and AI providers that routes requests, tracks costs, and enforces budgets.
Routing: Its routing engine uses up to nine configurable policies, including LLM selection, cost, health, performance, capability, context, budget, rate limits, and fairness.
API compatibility: It supports OpenAI and Anthropic wire formats with streaming, so clients can use Routerly by changing the base URL.
Providers: Supported providers include OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Ollama, Mistral, Cohere, xAI, and custom HTTP endpoints.
Integrations: The site names Cursor, Open WebUI, OpenClaw, LangChain, and LlamaIndex as clients or frameworks that can connect to Routerly.
Cost tracking: Routerly tracks per-token costs and supports built-in pricing presets and custom model pricing.
Project isolation: Each project can have separate Bearer tokens, model pools, routing configuration, and budget limits.
Security: The documentation says provider API keys and project tokens are AES-256 encrypted at rest, and user passwords are bcrypt-hashed.
Data handling: Routerly is self-hosted, and its maker says prompts and API keys stay on the user's infrastructure.
Storage and dependencies: Routerly stores configuration and usage records in JSON files and does not require an external database.
Deployment: The maker provides Docker and installer-based deployment, and says the installer supports Windows, macOS, and Linux.
