Make every AI service call a monetizable event.
That is the mission. AI agents are going to make trillions of service calls per year. Someone needs to build the infrastructure that tracks, bills, and settles every one of those calls fairly. That someone is SettleGrid.
The Vision
The settlement layer for the AI economy.
Every financial transaction between AI agents, tools, and services flows through a settlement layer. Just as Visa and Mastercard built the settlement layer for consumer payments, SettleGrid is building it for the AI economy. Protocol-agnostic. Real-time. Developer-first.
Why SettleGrid Exists
The AI economy is generating trillions of service calls per year — LLM inferences, tool invocations, agent-to-agent workflows, media generation, browser automation. But the billing infrastructure hasn't kept up. Developers building AI services face a choice: spend weeks building metering, billing, and payout systems from scratch, or give up 15-30% to a marketplace that hosts your code and owns your customer relationship.
Neither option is acceptable. The settlement layer for AI services should be invisible infrastructure — like Stripe is for payments or Cloudflare is for CDN. It should take two lines of code, support every payment protocol, and let developers keep the vast majority of their revenue.
That's what SettleGrid is: a universal settlement layer that wraps any AI service with per-call billing, real-time metering, budget enforcement, and automated Stripe payouts — across 15 payment protocols. With a progressive take rate that starts at 0% because the platform should earn its share by delivering value, not by extracting it upfront.
SettleGrid is built by developers, for developers. We use our own platform. We publish our pricing logic in the source code. We compete on product quality and developer experience, not on sales teams or vendor lock-in.
Values
Open Pricing
No hidden fees. Progressive take rate published on the website. You know exactly what you keep at every revenue level. We earn when you earn.
Developer-First
2 lines of code to start billing. TypeScript SDK, comprehensive docs, sandbox mode, and a free tier that never expires. We build for developers, not procurement departments.
Protocol-Agnostic
15 payment protocols through one SDK. MCP, MPP, x402, AP2, Visa TAP, UCP, ACP, Mastercard Agent Pay, Circle Nanopayments, REST, L402, Alipay Trust, KYAPay, EMVCo, and DRAIN. We believe the settlement layer should work with every protocol, not lock you into one.
Ship Fast, Iterate Publicly
Public changelog, open-source SDK, transparent roadmap. We ship every day and share what we learn. The best infrastructure is built in the open.
