What both publish
| Fact | Bifrost | Manifest |
|---|---|---|
| Compliance | The maker states support for SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, HIPAA and GDPR requirements. | The Enterprise plan lists HIPAA and custom BAAs, SSO/SAML, audit logs, custom retention, and a contractual uptime SLA. |
| Notable news | Product Hunt records Bifrost's launch on August 6, 2025 and ranks it third product of the day. | Axios reported on May 18, 2023 that the separate Manifest Cyber startup raised a $6 million seed round and announced DHS and Air Force contracts. |
| Observability | Built-in observability includes OpenTelemetry support and a dashboard for request monitoring. | Usage views show spending, selected models, token consumption and failed requests for each harness. |
| Product | Bifrost is an enterprise AI gateway and control plane for routing, governing, and securing AI traffic, including LLM calls, MCP tools, and agents. | Manifest is an open-source LLM gateway that routes requests, provides fallbacks, repairs failing requests with Autofix, and tracks spending. |
| SDK compatibility | The product supports OpenAI, Anthropic, LiteLLM, Google Genai, LangChain and other SDK or framework integrations through a base-URL change. | Because the API is OpenAI-compatible, existing OpenAI-style SDKs and agents can point at Manifest by changing the base URL. |
