by Proxed AI · Proxy that keeps AI provider keys out of iOS apps

BenchRank score

48.2

Visit website See full Frameworks & Libraries ranking

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

How this score is made up

Each dimension is scored out of 100 and combined into the headline score using fixed weights.

MCP support
Whether an agent can drive the product through the Model Context Protocol, and how much setup that takes.
API quality
Public API surface: machine-readable spec, official SDKs, documented auth, errors, rate limits and versioning.
Documentation
Publicly reachable docs — coverage, freshness, code samples and machine readability.
Agent friendliness
How readable the site is to an automated client: llms.txt, structured data, server-rendered content, crawler access.
Changelog
A public, dated record of what shipped and when — the clearest signal that a product is still alive.
Marketing site structure
Whether the site answers a buyer's questions: clear positioning, the pages that matter, and accessibility.
Page speed
How fast the site loads for real visitors: Chrome UX Report 75th-percentile LCP, INP and CLS, with a Lighthouse mobile run standing in where a site has too little traffic for field data.
Operational trust
Status page and incident history, security disclosure, compliance and data-processing documentation.

Measured, but not part of the score

Useful to know, but not a mark for or against the product — so these do not affect the ranking.

Openness
Source availability, self-hosting, data export and open standards. Scored and shown, but not part of the composite — paid SaaS is not worse for being paid SaaS.
Maintenance
Release cadence and repository activity. Scored and shown, but not part of the composite — it is only measurable for open repositories.
