run.pay — Discovery, routing & payment for autonomous AI agents

How it works

Discover, route, and pay — in one flow

From zero to production in under 5 minutes. No accounts to create, no API keys to manage.

01 / SETUP

⚡

Create your agent wallet

One Stripe onboarding. Your agent gets a permanent wallet address. Fund it once, use it across all 205 services with no per-service setup.

02 / DISCOVER

🔍

Describe what you need

Your agent describes a task in plain text — run.pay matches it to the right service type and ranks every active provider on real price, latency and error rate. Or browse the catalog directly if you already know what you want.

03 / ROUTE & PAY

▶

Call the best match, automatically

One HTTP request routes to the top-ranked provider. Stripe debits the exact cost. If that provider fails, run.pay can automatically try the next-best one — no human intervention required.

Autonomous payments

How agents pay for APIs

No human in the loop. Your agent discovers, calls, and pays — all in one HTTP request.

🤖

Your Agent

Decides to call a service · Sends one HTTP request

Receives request · Returns result · Gets paid weekly

⚡ Total time: <500ms · No human needed · Your agent stays in control

Why run.pay

Built for autonomous agents

Existing API marketplaces require human sign-up flows. run.pay is designed from scratch for agents that operate without human intervention.

🤖

Fully autonomous billing

Agents fund their own wallet, discover services, call them, and pay — without a human in the loop. Works with LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen.

💳

Stripe-native payments

Built on Stripe from day one. Every transaction is auditable, refundable, and compliant. No custom payment infrastructure to maintain.

⚡

Single HTTP request

No SDK required. One POST request with your agent ID and payload. Stripe billing, rate limiting, and retries handled server-side.

🔒

No account sprawl

Your agent uses one wallet across 205 services. No per-service API keys to rotate, no multiple dashboards, no forgotten subscriptions.

📊

Pay exactly what you use

$0.01 per hallucination check. $0.02 for GDPR compliance analysis. No minimum spend, no monthly commitment. 2% platform fee only.

Why not alternatives?

run.pay vs the alternatives

Criteria	run.pay ⚡	RapidAPI	Crypto x402 marketplaces	Build it yourself
Time to first call	2 minutes	15–30 min	Needs a crypto wallet	Days–weeks
Per-call billing	✅	⚠️ Plan-based	✅ via stablecoin	🔨 Build it
Autonomous agent payment	✅	❌	✅	❌
No crypto wallet or stablecoin needed	✅ Stripe card	✅	❌ USDC/wallet required	Depends
One account for all APIs	✅	❌ Per-API signup	✅	❌
Pricing	2% only	20–30% + subscription	~3% + gas/network fees	Dev time + infra

Most x402 marketplaces today require agents to hold a crypto wallet and stablecoins (like USDC). run.pay implements x402 on top of Stripe instead — your agent pays with a normal card, no wallet or on-chain step required.
