Control LLM call routing, caching and budgets to cut Claude Code costs

Control LLM call routing, caching and budgets to cut Claude Code costs targets a $6.0B = 2M software development teams × $3K ACV addressing LLM gateway & management features per year total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 80% YoY — based on rapid growth in LLM API consumption and cloud LLM spend reported by market analysts and provider disclosures (2023-2025 estimates).

Key trends driving demand: Multi-model adoption — more engineering teams are using multiple LLM providers for cost and capability trade-offs, which creates demand for routing and orchestration layers.; Tooling shifts to observability and governance — as LLMs are used in production, organizations demand better telemetry, audit trails, and cost allocation features, enabling a gateway product to provide immediate ROI.; Cost sensitivity — high per-request and per-token costs for production LLM usage force teams to adopt caching, batching, and fallback strategies that a gateway can automate.; Developer-first enterprise buying — engineering teams increasingly choose developer-centric tools with self-serve onboarding before IT procurement engages, favoring products that integrate directly into dev workflows..
