TeamPrompt vs Lakera

Lakera Guard is an API-level security layer for AI applications — developers wrap their LLM calls in Lakera's API to filter prompt injections, PII, and toxicity before content reaches the model. TeamPrompt solves a different problem: protecting employees who use commercial AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) from leaking sensitive data into them. These are complementary, not competitive, but teams often evaluate both.

Where TeamPrompt wins

Right tool if employees use commercial AI tools — Lakera doesn't protect this layer
Includes prompt management, which Lakera doesn't address
Browser-side enforcement means it works on any device or AI tool
20 pre-built compliance frameworks vs custom Lakera rules
Free tier removes the trial-credit ceiling

Where Lakera wins

Right tool if you're building an AI-powered product — TeamPrompt doesn't protect that layer
Industry-leading prompt-injection research and threat intelligence
API-first model integrates cleanly into AI app pipelines
Strong adoption among AI app builders and ML teams

The Verdict

These tools solve different problems. Use TeamPrompt to protect your team's everyday AI usage (employees pasting into ChatGPT). Use Lakera to protect the LLM-powered features in your own product. Many organizations run both.

How it works

Three steps from install to full AI security coverage.

1

Install

Add the browser extension to Chrome, Edge, or Firefox — or deploy it to your whole team via MDM. No proxy or VPN needed.

2

Configure

Enable the compliance packs for your industry, set DLP rules, and add your team's prompts to the shared library.

3

Protected

Every AI interaction is scanned in real time. Sensitive data is blocked before it leaves the browser. Your team has a full audit trail.
