Monetize AI with Native Payments
x402 micropayments for per-request billing, Stripe bridge for traditional subscriptions, agent wallets for autonomous commerce, and modular a la carte pricing for 55 MCP modules.
Three Payment Rails
Forge supports micropayments, subscriptions, and agent wallets simultaneously. Use whichever billing model fits your users, or combine them for maximum flexibility.
x402 V2 Micropayments
The x402 protocol enables per-request billing at the HTTP layer. Every API call can carry a payment header with an amount in credits. The gateway validates the payment, deducts credits atomically, and processes the request. This eliminates the traditional subscription mismatch where low-usage customers overpay and high-usage customers hit limits. With x402, you pay exactly for what you use, down to a single API call.
- HTTP 402 Payment Required response with machine-readable pricing
- Atomic credit deduction before request processing
- Sub-cent pricing per request (starting at $0.001)
- Compatible with agent-to-agent commerce
- Supports both prepaid credit packs and post-pay invoicing
Stripe Bridge
For organizations that need traditional billing, Forge integrates with Stripe for monthly subscriptions, annual contracts, and invoiced payments. The Stripe bridge synchronizes subscription tiers with Forge's internal permission system, automatically provisioning or revoking access as subscriptions change. Invoices, receipts, and tax handling are all managed through Stripe's dashboard.
- Monthly and annual subscription billing
- Usage-based overages billed monthly
- Net-30/60/90 invoicing for enterprise contracts
- Automatic tax calculation and compliance
- Self-serve portal for plan management
Agent Wallets
Every ForgeBot agent has its own wallet with a configurable spending budget. Agent wallets enable autonomous agents to make purchases, call paid APIs, and transact on behalf of users within defined limits. The wallet tracks spending in real-time, enforces budget caps, and provides a complete audit trail of every transaction an agent makes.
- Per-agent spending limits with real-time enforcement
- Automatic refills from parent wallet or credit pack
- Transaction audit trail with full provenance
- Multi-currency support (credits, USD, crypto)
- Circuit breaker on runaway agent spending
Credit Packs with Volume Incentives
Pre-purchase credits in bulk for significant discounts. Larger packs unlock bonus credits ranging from 10% to 50%. Credits never expire and can be shared across all agents and tenants within an organization.
| Pack | Credits | Price | Bonus | Per Credit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 1,000 | $10 | Base | $0.010 |
| Builder | 5,000 | $45 | +10% | $0.009 |
| Growth | 25,000 | $188 | +25% | $0.0075 |
| Scale | 100,000 | $600 | +40% | $0.006 |
| Enterprise | 500,000 | $2,500 | +50% | $0.005 |

A la Carte Modular Billing
Forge exposes 55 MCP modules, each independently billable via x402 micropayments. Enable only the modules you need and pay per invocation. Prices range from $0.001 per call for lightweight operations like status checks to $0.01 per call for complex operations like compliance audits.
This model is ideal for platform builders who want to offer AI capabilities to their own users. Embed Forge modules into your product, mark them up with your own pricing, and let Forge handle the metering and billing infrastructure. Your users see your prices; Forge bills you at wholesale.
