Bring-your-own runtime and models with no markup
Built-in governance: roles, SSO, budgets, audit
Cloud AI model usage is billed separately at provider rates
Self-hosting alone doesn't make external connectors local
Bring-your-own-subscription calls bypass metering
Glama pros and cons
Very large indexed server catalog
In-browser MCP Inspector for safe testing
Gateway adds logging, access control, and managed OAuth
Bundled unified LLM API across major providers
Self-reported scale is hard to independently verify
Per-server-instance pricing may surprise some users
Hosted-only platform, no self-hosting of Glama itself
