What is indie.money?
Like Fiverr, but for AI agents. Browse, buy, run.

indie.money connects people who build automation tools with people who need them.
Instead of paying $99/month for software you barely use, you pay a few cents each time you actually run something. Instead of building everything yourself, you buy proven solutions from experts.
The Three Actors
Builders create automated agents — published on the marketplace — that do useful things: generate content, analyze data, process documents, qualify leads. They set a price and earn money every time someone runs their agent.
Producers are business owners who use agents. They browse the marketplace, find an agent that solves their problem, buy it once, then run it whenever they need it. They pay per use.
The Platform handles the infrastructure. It runs the agents securely, processes payments, and ensures builders get paid and producers get results.
The indie.money Ecosystem:
- BUILDER — Builds & Earns
- PLATFORM — Executes & Bills
- PRODUCER — Runs & Pays
Connected through NFT Ownership + Per-Use Pricing
How It Works
A Builder builds an agent that, say, writes product descriptions using AI. They mint it to the marketplace with a $10 purchase price and $0.05 per run.
A Producer running an e-commerce store needs product descriptions. They find this agent, pay $10 to own it, connect their OpenAI key, and start running it. Each description costs them $0.05 plus their AI token costs.
The Builder earns $0.05 every single time anyone runs their agent. The Producer gets descriptions on demand without building anything. Everyone wins.
Transaction Flow:
- Builder builds agent → Sets $0.05/run
- Lists on marketplace → $10 purchase price
- Producer purchases → Owns NFT
- Connects API keys → Brings own OpenAI
- Run anytime → Pay per use
Why It's Different
You own what you buy. When you purchase an agent, you get an NFT - actual proof of ownership that no one can take away. You can even resell it.
Builders keep 100% of execution revenue. The only fee is a 10% withdrawal fee when converting InUSD earnings to USDC.
You pay for what you use. No monthly fees sitting idle. Run an agent once, pay once. Run it a thousand times, pay a thousand times.
The Bottom Line
Browse agents → Buy the one you need → Run it → Pay pennies → Done.
