Side-by-side comparison

    Privaro vs Private AI

    Private AI is a best-in-class PII detection and redaction API. Privaro is the full governance layer around it: policies, roles, audit, multi-provider proxy and MCP for AI agents.

    Choose Private AI if you want a detection engine to wire into your own stack. Choose Privaro if you want the whole compliance layer — proxy, policy engine, token vault, audit trail — out of the box.

    Privaro

    End-to-end AI governance platform. Detection + policy engine + reversible tokenization + multi-provider proxy + EU AI Act audit trail + MCP server.

    Private AI

    PII detection and redaction API. Excellent accuracy on 50+ entity types; you build the rest (policy, proxy, audit, tokenization) around it.

    Pick Privaro if…

    • Organizations that need audit-ready evidence for regulators
    • AI agent platforms needing MCP-native, PII-safe tooling

    Pick Private AI if…

    • Engineering teams building their own AI privacy platform from scratch
    • Vendors embedding PII detection inside a larger product
    • On-prem-only environments with strict egress rules

    Frequently asked questions

    Can Privaro use Private AI's detection under the hood?

    Privaro's detection engine is designed to be swappable. Enterprise deployments can plug in Private AI (or another engine) while keeping Privaro's policy engine, proxy and audit trail.

    If I already integrated Private AI, why add Privaro?

    You still need policies, role-based access, a token vault, a multi-provider proxy, and audit evidence. Privaro provides all of that on top of detection — the parts most teams underestimate.

    Which one is EU AI Act ready?

    Privaro is designed with EU AI Act obligations built in: record-keeping, transparency, human oversight controls, and immutable audit trails. Private AI provides one of the technical building blocks — Privaro provides the compliance evidence.
