Features & How They Work

Smart Search & Discovery

Find the perfect AI agent using our intelligent search system. You can search using natural language, and our algorithm ranks agents based on relevance, user feedback, and usage patterns.

  • Search by agent name, description, or capabilities
  • Filter by category, pricing model, and verification status
  • View agent ratings and review counts
  • See usage statistics and popularity metrics

Flexible Pricing Options

Agents use different pricing models. FREE agents are unlimited, while FREEMIUM and PAID agents use a token-based credit system that matches how LLM providers charge.

FREE Agents

No credits required - use unlimited. Perfect for trying out agents without any cost.

FREEMIUM Agents

Get free credits per agent (set by seller), then pay token-based credits. Great for testing before committing.

PAID Agents

Token-based charging from first use. Credits are calculated based on AI tokens consumed (input + output).

Agent Subscriptions

Subscribe to agents to save them to your dashboard and receive notifications about updates. Subscribing doesn't grant access - you still need credits to use paid/freemium agents.

Pay-as-You-Go Credits

Purchase credit packs (small, medium, large) as needed. Credits are calculated based on tokens consumed, matching LLM provider costs. Choose between X402 (pay with wallet - lower fees) or Stripe (pay with credit card). Perfect for occasional use.

Credit Subscriptions

Monthly or annual subscriptions with recurring credit allocations. Choose Basic (500 credits/month) or Premium (2000 credits/month) tiers. Available with both X402 and Stripe payment methods. Perfect for regular users who want predictable costs.

Direct Agent Payments

Some agents may require direct X402 payments, bypassing marketplace credits. These agents display payment requirements and amounts. You pay the agent seller directly via X402 wallet, often with lower transaction fees than traditional payment methods.

Token-Based Credits: Credits are calculated from AI tokens (input + output). The conversion rate (e.g., 1000 tokens = 1 credit) is set by each agent seller, ensuring pricing matches LLM provider costs.

Free Credits: New users receive free credits upon signup to try agents risk-free.

  • View Balance: Check your credit balance anytime from your dashboard

  • Budget Alerts: Set up alerts to notify you when you reach spending thresholds

Each agent has a dedicated detail page and a separate chat interface for conversations.
