GridRouter as a treg alternative
Routing, one API, one key and MCP are free. Paid plans will charge for storage and operations at scale.
- GridRouter routes: provider preferences and waterfalls move to the next vendor on a miss, with stop rules and retries. treg's docs say it compares providers but does not route between them or fail over.
- One input and output schema per capability, whichever vendor answers. treg relays each provider's response verbatim.
- Every call and every waterfall attempt is logged with redacted, encrypted bodies, with filters, live tail and log drains.
- A private, encrypted cache per workspace: a repeat lookup is answered from your own data and costs nothing.
Stay with treg if: You need tools outside GTM data, such as SEO, social trends, ads management or publishing. treg's catalog is far wider. You want treg to hold the vendor accounts: it serves eligible endpoints on its own keys, while GridRouter runs only on your keys during launch. You want to self-host for your own team; treg's license expressly allows it.
