Everything we ship. Features, improvements, and fixes.
Pricing Page & Revenue Calculator
Dedicated pricing page with full plan breakdown, progressive take rate visualization, revenue comparison tables, and pricing FAQ. See exactly what you keep at every revenue level.
Use Cases, Glossary & About Pages
6 use case stories for different builder personas, an 18-term glossary of AI settlement concepts, and a founder story page. New entry points for organic discovery.
Competitor Comparison Expansion
Added comparisons against Stripe Metronome ($1B acquisition), Orb ($44M funding), and Lago (open-source). Now 10 comparison pages covering every major billing alternative.
Multi-Service AI Settlement
Expanded from MCP-only to multi-service settlement. SettleGrid now bills AI services across categories: LLM inference, browser automation, media generation, code execution, data APIs, agent-to-agent workflows, and communication services. One SDK, multiple agent payment protocols.
Smart Proxy
Zero-code billing via reverse proxy. Point your API URL at the Smart Proxy, configure pricing, and SettleGrid handles authentication, balance checks, and metering transparently. No SDK required.
Cost-Based Routing
Find the cheapest tool meeting quality thresholds. The routing engine compares price, latency, and reliability across registered providers and routes calls to the optimal endpoint.
Transaction Explorer
Real-time observability dashboard with anomaly detection. View every settlement, filter by tool, consumer, protocol, and time range. Anomaly detection flags unusual spending patterns automatically.
Progressive Pricing
0% take rate on first $1,000/month. Replaced the flat 3% take rate with progressive brackets: 0% on $0-$1K, 2% on $1K-$10K, 2.5% on $10K-$50K, 5% above $50K. Developers keep significantly more revenue.
Paste. Price. Publish.
60-second onboarding flow. Paste your tool endpoint, set a price, and publish. SettleGrid handles everything else: metering, billing, payouts, discovery, fraud detection.
Gamification & Achievement Badges
12 achievement badges for developer milestones: First Tool, First Revenue, 1K Calls, 10K Calls, 5-Star Rating, Multi-Protocol, and more. Visible on developer profiles and the showcase.
Amber-Gold Brand Identity
New visual identity with amber-gold accent color, dark theme, and refined typography. Consistent brand across all marketing pages, dashboard, and documentation.
Multi-Protocol Settlement Layer
SettleGrid's hosted Smart Proxy now brokers payments across 9 agent payment protocols (MCP, x402, Stripe MPP, AP2, ACP, UCP, Visa TAP, Mastercard Verifiable Intent, Circle Nanopayments), ships with detection adapters for 2 more (L402 on Bitcoin Lightning, Skyfire's KYAPay), and tracks 3 emerging rails (Alipay's ACTP, EMVCo agent payments, and the Bittensor DRAIN project). (This entry was updated on 2026-04-15 from an earlier "15-Protocol Support" framing that counted REST and bare-org EMVCo; see docs/audits/15-protocol-claim.md.)
Multi-Hop Settlement
Automatic payment distribution across agent chains. When Agent A calls Agent B calls Agent C, each agent in the chain gets their share. Supports up to 10 hops per session.
Agent Identity (KYA)
Know Your Agent verification framework. Establishes identity, capabilities, and trust level before allowing financial transactions. Enables per-agent budgets and spending controls.
Fraud Detection Hardening
12-signal fraud detection with IP reputation, velocity checks, geographic anomaly detection, device fingerprinting, and behavioral analysis. Automatic blocking with manual appeal.
