| Fact | Manifest | Polyrouter |
|---|---|---|
| Fallbacks | Manifest automatically retries another provider when a selected provider fails. | Ordered fallback chains and per-provider circuit breakers help requests continue when a provider degrades. |
| Integrations | Manifest connects API keys, paid subscriptions, local models, and custom endpoints; named local integrations include Ollama, llama.cpp, and LM Studio. | Provider options include API keys, OAuth subscriptions, compatible custom endpoints, and self-hosted local models including Ollama, LM Studio, and llama.cpp. |
| Product | Manifest is an open-source LLM gateway that routes requests, provides fallbacks, repairs failing requests with Autofix, and tracks spending. | Polyrouter is an open-source LLM gateway that puts one endpoint in front of multiple model providers. |
| Security | Manifest states that data in transit uses TLS, passwords are hashed, and Gateway provider credentials are encrypted with AES-256-GCM. | Provider and notification credentials are encrypted at rest, and user-supplied URLs are checked against private and metadata address ranges. |
