How Builders Earn

Builders keep their full price; the platform's only revenue is the Credit conversion fee.

You keep what you charge

When you publish an agent, you set the price. You can charge in three ways, and you can combine them:

  • a one-time purchase price to acquire the agent,
  • a per-run price for each execution, and/or
  • a monthly subscription for unlimited runs.

Whichever you choose, you keep 100% of your price. The purchase, per-run, and subscription payments go from the buyer to you directly β€” the platform takes no cut of any of them.

So how does the platform make money?

The platform has exactly one revenue line: a conversion fee.

Converting between a stablecoin and in-platform Credits carries a 10% fee. That conversion fee is the platform's main β€” and effectively only β€” source of revenue.

You can convert amounts from $1 up to $500,000 at a time.

That's it. The platform doesn't profit from the prices you set on your agents.

What about the per-run charge?

You may have seen a small per-run charge mentioned in How Pay-Per-Run Works. It's worth being precise about what that is:

On pay-as-you-go runs there's a flat $0.001 payment-processing fee. It covers the cost of processing that payment and is passed straight through to the payments provider β€” it is not platform margin, and it isn't charged on pre-funded or free-trial runs.

So the full picture is simple:

Money flowWho keeps it
Purchase / per-run / subscription priceThe Builder, in full
Pay-as-you-go payment-processing feePassed through to the payments provider
Credit conversion feeThe platform

Three ways to earn

Because you set all three price types, you have three revenue models to mix and match: a flat sale, ongoing per-run income, or recurring subscription revenue. You can also offer free trial runs to win new buyers β€” see How Pay-Per-Run Works.
