Monetization platform for AI agents, billing by usage, outcomes, or agent seats.
Paid is a billing and monetization platform built specifically for companies selling AI agents: it models pricing where the unit of value is an agent's work — per task completed, per outcome delivered, per agent seat, or blended with usage — and handles the metering, rating, and invoicing that follow. Agentic software breaks conventional per-user SaaS billing, since one customer may run many agents doing variable amounts of work; Paid treats the agent, not the human login, as the billable actor. Founders and finance teams at AI-agent startups are the audience, using it to ship outcome- and usage-priced offerings without building billing plumbing first.

| Agentic Commerce / Machine Billing | Platform & Intelligence | Core | Metering and billing where AI agents, tasks, and outcomes are the billable units. |
The agent-native framing is the differentiation: where general usage-billing platforms give you meters and rate cards, Paid starts from agentic pricing patterns — outcome-based charges, agent seats, work-unit metering — and builds margin and profitability views around the cost of running the agents themselves. It is a bet that agentic commerce is a category, not a feature.
Because the pricing surface is different: customers buy work done, not seats, and vendors juggle outcome pricing, agent seats, and usage meters while their own inference costs swing per task. A platform modeling those primitives natively spares you from contorting a subscription-billing system into shapes it was never designed for.
Charging for a verified result — a resolved ticket, a booked meeting, a completed workflow — rather than for access or raw usage. It aligns price with delivered value but demands billing infrastructure that can define, verify, and rate outcomes, which is precisely the machinery Paid focuses on.
