PromptGuard: Pricing, Features & Best Use Cases

LLM firewall that screens prompts and responses for injection, jailbreaks and PII leaks, with a permanent free tier.

PromptGuard homepage screenshot, coding AI tool

Our take: Choose PromptGuard if you need an LLM firewall that screens prompts and responses for injection, jailbreaks and PII leaks, starting on the free tier of 20,000 scans per month.

Main limitation: The free tier has one API key and 24-hour log retention, and SSO, audit logs and IP allowlist are Enterprise only.

What is PromptGuard, and how does it work?

PromptGuard is a security layer placed in front of LLM applications. It inspects traffic for prompt injection, jailbreaks, data exfiltration and PII before it reaches the model, and can run in the vendor cloud, a customer VPC or air-gapped. It offers a Guard API for developers building AI products and a Team plan with a browser extension and desktop agent for monitoring employee AI use.
