Edgee

Edgee Cloud

Freemium

An agent gateway that routes coding-agent requests under token budgets, compresses tokens and tracks team usage.

Key features

  • Budget-driven Routing: Set token budgets per developer, squad or org and reroute to cheaper models mid-task as budgets fill.
  • Token Compression: Trim tool results on input and enforce brevity on output so fewer tokens are billed for the same context.
  • Team Observability: Attribute cost and usage per developer, repo, PR and model.
  • Open Weight Models: GLM, Kimi and MiniMax served for a flat monthly price as routing fallbacks.
  • Bring Your Own Keys: Use Edgee's keys or your own provider keys with 0% BYOK commission.
  • On-Premise Deployment: Run the gateway in your own infrastructure via Docker Compose or Helm, including air-gapped.
  • Plugin Management: Manage skills, hooks and MCP servers for your team.

Best for

  • Coding Agent Cost Control: Cap spend for Claude Code or Codex per developer or squad.
  • Provider Failover: Continue on the next model when a provider fails or a plan cap is hit.
  • Spend Attribution: Show engineering leaders cost per PR and repo.
  • Private Deployments: Keep prompts and provider keys inside your network.
  • Claude Plan Extension: Use other models inside Claude Code while keeping your Claude plan.
