Overview

Proxed.AI is a proxy that sits between an app and AI providers such as OpenAI and Anthropic. You replace the provider URL with a Proxed endpoint; the service keeps the sensitive half of the API key on its side, verifies the calling device with Apple's DeviceCheck, applies rate and spend limits, and can enforce structured responses. It is open-source and can be self-hosted.

Best for: iOS developers calling OpenAI or Anthropic who need provider keys kept off the device.
Pricing: Self-hosting is free and open-source; hosted plans are shown at $25/year (Starter), $100/year (Pro) and $300/year (Ultimate), after a 14-day trial with no card required.
Runs on: WebSelf-hosted

Strengths and trade-offs

Strengths

Swap the provider URL; no SDK or backend to build
Apple DeviceCheck device attestation is built in
Open-source and self-hostable with no usage limits
Per-project rate limits and spending ceilings

Trade-offs

Device attestation is Apple DeviceCheck, so it covers iOS only
Hosted call allowances are low: 1,000/month Starter, 10,000 Pro
Only OpenAI and Anthropic are named as supported providers
Self-hosting means running and monitoring the proxy yourself
