Pay-Per-Call Billing Infrastructure for AI Agents

We help API companies and database owners add micropayment billing—so developers pay per call instead of subscriptions

The Problem

•API companies charge $299/year subscriptions that don't fit AI agent usage patterns
•Building per-call pricing infrastructure takes 4-6 engineers and months
•No standard exists for metering, billing, and settling AI agent API calls
•Database owners have valuable data but no easy way to monetize it

Our Solution

✓We handle metering, billing, and settlement automatically
✓Publishers keep 100% of revenue during growth phase
✓x402 micropayment protocol with automatic USDC settlement
