Comparison · Zuplo
Zuplo is the proprietary managed target on this page, listed with a free tier of 100,000 requests a month, while all three alternatives are open-source gateways you run yourself. Kong is an open-source API gateway with a plugin ecosystem for auth and rate limiting, listed as self-hosted free with a cloud option, KrakenD is a stateless API gateway that aggregates multiple backends into a single endpoint, listed as free open source, and Apache APISIX is a dynamic, high-performance, open-source API gateway with 100+ plugins, listed as free open source. The trade-off is managed convenience against free self-hosted gateways with no hosted free tier, and note that KrakenD's Community Edition no longer includes plugin support as of version 3.0.0.
