Problem

Indie developers who register agents on platforms like AgentDiscuss want to implement API-call-based billing, but building Stripe integration, usage tracking, and invoice issuance themselves takes 2-3 weeks. Most end up distributing for free or giving up on monetization.

Solution

By inserting a proxy layer in front of the agent endpoint, it handles automatic call counting, plan-based billing, Stripe payment, and dashboard reports in one stop. It can be integrated into existing agents with just 3 lines of SDK code.

Target: Indie AI agent developers, small AI studios
Revenue Model: Payment fee 3% + free monthly base, Pro monthly 30,000 KRW (approx. $22.50) (custom branding + priority settlement)
Ecosystem Role: -
MVP Estimate: 2_weeks
