Navige
Proxy that cuts AI agent model costs and stops runaway spending
Navige is a uptime & monitoring tool for Developers and Small businesses, offered as freemium ($9/mo). Based in United Kingdom, founded in 2026. Popular alternatives include Polylane, Tessary, Sentry.
About Navige
Navige is a cost-control layer for AI agents from Navige Ltd, a four-person company registered in London in February 2026. It sits as a proxy between your agents and the model APIs they call, and decides before each call runs whether a cheaper model will do, whether a cached answer can be reused, or whether the call should be blocked or held for approval.
Setup is one line: point your provider SDK's base URL at Navige. Smart routing sends steps to smaller models with your chosen model as the ceiling and falls back to it if the smaller one fails, while caching, context trimming, tool payload caps and a loop guard cut waste. Policies can allow, deny or hold tool calls, including calls to MCP servers, and paid plans add per-team and per-job budgets. The free Watchtower tier only observes and sends a weekly report of what Navige would have saved. Enforcement costs $9 a month or 20% of measured savings, whichever is higher.
It fits teams with real production agent spend. Datadog and Sentry report LLM cost after calls run, while Navige acts before them; AI gateways such as Portkey or Helicone focus on routing and logging. All traffic passes through a young vendor's proxy, data is processed in the US, the company says it holds no security certification, and the savings figure it bills on is measured by Navige itself.
Navige launched on Product Hunt on October 15, 2026, finishing second of the day. Buying tip: run Watchtower for a few weeks and compare its estimate with your Anthropic or Bedrock bill before turning on enforcement.

Common use cases
- 1Cutting model spend of production agents built on LangChain or CrewAI
- 2Stopping runaway agent loops before they burn budget
- 3Holding risky tool or MCP calls for human approval
- 4Setting monthly AI budgets per team or per job
- 5Estimating overspend in observe-only mode before committing
Best for
Teams running production AI agents with meaningful monthly model spend who want savings without rewriting their agents.
Not ideal for
Organisations that need certified vendors or full observability across their whole stack (Datadog, Sentry).
Integrations
- OpenAI
- Anthropic
- AWS Bedrock
- Google Gemini
- LangChain
- LangGraph
- CrewAI
- OpenAI Agents SDK
Our take
Navige's savings-share pricing makes it low-risk to try, and Watchtower lets you see the numbers first. The early-stage company and lack of certification mean regulated teams should wait, but cost-sensitive agent builders should run the free tier.
