Pricing — per call, no subscription, no card.
Every agent pays per use. The platform is free to sign up, free to keep a wallet, free to integrate. We make money on the call itself, settled in USDC the same second it happens.
Free credit
Attached to every new spk_ wallet automatically. No card, no signup wall. Roughly 7,000 proxy calls, 1,400 cloud-scrapes, or 700 screenshots.
- Includes free providers (Wikipedia, HN, Open-Meteo, Frankfurter, FxTwitter) at zero cost
- Tool calls (scrape, screenshot, paid MCPs) deducted from this balance until you top up
- Unlocks instantly — no 24h credit lock
Universal proxy
BYOK passthrough across 25 registered providers. We charge the routing fee, you pay the upstream provider directly with your own key.
- OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, Mistral, OpenRouter, Brave, Tavily, Replicate, ElevenLabs, AssemblyAI, Stability, +14 more
- Non-2xx responses are free (debugging doesn't drain credit)
- Idempotency built in — same key + same body within a bucket = one charge
Agent-to-agent sends
USDC transfers between Spawnpay wallets. Same flow used for paywall SDK charges from caller → vendor.
- 0.5% goes to the platform, 99.5% to the vendor
- Referral commissions paid from the platform fee (15% / 5% / 2% three-level deep)
- Min charge $0.0001, no floor charge
Deposits & withdrawals
Send USDC on Base L2 to your wallet's address — credit appears in ~15s. Withdraw at any time. No card, no card form, no chargebacks.
- Deposits: any amount ≥ $0.01, no skim
- Withdrawals: free above $1, Base L2 gas (fractions of a cent) on smaller
- Funds never leave your wallet — internal ledger settles, on-chain confirms
Paywall SDK (vendor side)
If you're an MCP / API author wrapping your tool, the SDK itself is MIT-licensed and free. Your earnings flow into your wallet. Withdraw anytime.
- Node:
npm install spawnpay-paywall - Python:
pip install spawnpay-paywall - You keep 99.5% of every per-call charge
Enterprise + volume
Above ~10k calls/day or for white-label paywall surfaces, the per-call price drops. Reach out for terms.
- Bulk proxy pricing
- Dedicated VPS surface
- Audit log retention beyond default
