| Fact | Bifrost | Polyrouter |
|---|---|---|
| Deployment | Bifrost can run as a self-hosted binary or through npx, Docker and Kubernetes, including private-cloud and disconnected environments. | Self-hosting requires Docker with Compose v2 and runs the SPA, API, and proxy alongside PostgreSQL 16 and Redis. |
| Product | Bifrost is an enterprise AI gateway and control plane for routing, governing, and securing AI traffic, including LLM calls, MCP tools, and agents. | Polyrouter is an open-source LLM gateway that puts one endpoint in front of multiple model providers. |
| Security | The security documentation describes Snyk dependency and code scanning, CodeQL analysis, Docker image scanning, and hardened non-root production containers. | Provider and notification credentials are encrypted at rest, and user-supplied URLs are checked against private and metadata address ranges. |
| Support | OSS includes documentation, community, and self-management support, while Enterprise offers SLA-backed support and direct access to engineers. | The maker directs bug reports, feature requests, and questions to GitHub. |
