About Proxed.AI

Proxed.AI is a proxy service for securing AI provider API keys used in mobile applications. It works by replacing a direct AI provider endpoint (such as OpenAI or Anthropic) with a Proxed.AI URL, requiring no SDK installation or custom backend. The service offers Vision, Text, and Document Analysis APIs for extracting structured data from images, unstructured text, and PDFs, alongside proxying for OpenAI and Anthropic APIs.

Security features include a split-key architecture that keeps the sensitive portion of a provider key on Proxed's server rather than embedded in the app, and integration with Apple's DeviceCheck API to verify device authenticity and block emulators, scripts, and jailbroken devices. The service also provides rate limiting by user, device, or endpoint, spending ceilings, real-time monitoring, and enforced response formatting for consistent output from AI models.

Proxed.AI is open-source and can be self-hosted for free with no usage limits. Hosted plans are also available: Starter at $25/year (1 project, 1,000 API calls per month), Pro at $100/year (unlimited projects, 10,000 API calls per month), and Ultimate at $300/year (unlimited projects, 50,000 API calls per month), each with a 14-day free trial, no credit card required, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. It is aimed at mobile app developers, from indie developers to enterprise teams, who need to protect AI API keys from extraction and abuse.
