Xcellerate AIG vs LiteLLM
A popular open-source proxy against a fully governed, EU-native control plane — same provider breadth, far more governance out of the box.
Xcellerate AIG
Country of origin: Bulgaria
Bulgaria — inside the EU, so your data stays under European jurisdiction.
LiteLLM
Country of origin: United States
United States — outside the EU, so customer data may fall under non-European jurisdiction.
EU-native, not US open source
LiteLLM is a US project; Xcellerate AIG is built and run by RMM Labs Ltd in the EU, self-hosted so data never leaves your jurisdiction.
Governance without the enterprise tier
SSO, audit and secret handling are enterprise-licensed add-ons in LiteLLM; here they are built in, alongside guardrails, data protection and chargeback.
Data protection in business language
A DPO-configurable catalog with verified national-ID check digits and test-before-enforce — well beyond LiteLLM's regex guardrails.
