What TrueFoundry Is
TrueFoundry is an enterprise AI platform with an AI Gateway component that covers LLM, MCP, and agent traffic in one place. It governs at the environment level: which teams can use which models, cost controls per team or project, and observability across your AI stack. TrueFoundry also provides the surrounding deployment platform (model hosting, fine-tuning, vector databases), making it a broader MLOps/LLMOps offering than a pure gateway.
What Sentrely Is
Sentrely is a managed AI team, backed by real engineers, that builds, ships and monitors production-grade software in accounts you own. Our AI employees build, ship and monitor your production-grade software, and our engineers deploy and supervise them. Your team asks for work through an agent in your Slack.
Every change runs through automated safety checks, important changes need human sign-off, and you get a 35-day rewind on data and files. You have a named account manager and on-call support.
Platform vs. Service
TrueFoundry is a platform you operate. “The data science team can use these models, with this monthly budget and this rate limit.” It’s infrastructure management for an organization that already has ML and platform engineers.
Sentrely is a service that does the work. You describe what your business needs, such as a customer portal, an internal tool or an integration, and a supervised AI team builds, ships and monitors it in your own accounts.

When TrueFoundry Makes Sense
TrueFoundry is the right choice when:
- You need a full MLOps platform (model hosting, fine-tuning, vector DB) in addition to a gateway
- Your primary concern is LLM access management across multiple teams and models
- You want on-premises deployment with enterprise support contracts
- You have the platform team to run it
When Sentrely Makes Sense
Sentrely is the right choice when:
- You need business software built and running, not AI infrastructure
- You don’t have a development team, or don’t want to grow one
- You want the finished software in accounts you own
- You want real engineers and a named person accountable for the work
The Scope Question
If you need the full MLOps stack, TrueFoundry is worth evaluating. If you’d rather not build and run any of this yourself, book a free 30-minute call and we’ll scope what Sentrely can build for you.
