The one-liner

indie.money is a marketplace where anyone can publish an automation agent and earn every time someone runs it — and anyone can run a published agent and pay only for what they use, per run.

If you're new to the term, start with What Is an Agent?.

What makes it different

Most automation tools lock you into a monthly subscription whether you use them or not, take a cut of everything you charge, and keep your work tied to their platform. indie.money is built the other way around.

Pay only when something runs

There are no idle subscriptions to babysit. A run costs only what that run actually used, and any budget you set aside but didn't spend is refunded automatically. See How Pay-Per-Run Works.

Builders keep their price

When you publish an agent, the purchase, per-run, and subscription prices you set are paid to you directly.

Builders keep 100% of their price. The platform doesn't take a cut of what you charge. See How Builders Earn.

Your agent is yours

When you acquire an agent, you own your instance of it. It's transferable and not locked to the platform. See Own and Trust Your Agent.

Agents can pay agents

Agents can call and pay other agents automatically, so automations compose into paid pipelines without you wiring up any billing. See Agents Paying Agents.

Connect your tools without a setup tax

Credentials connect through the Secure Vault. You can run on the Builder's keys, the platform's keys, or bring your own — your choice. See Own and Trust Your Agent.

Who it's for

  • Builders — automation creators, indie developers, and agencies who want to monetize an automation without running billing infrastructure.
  • Producers and buyers — teams (and agents) that need a specific automation on demand and want usage-based cost.

When it's launching

indie.money is launching soon.

General availability is targeted for the week of June 18, 2026,
