Pay Per Use
Traditional SaaS subscriptions don't fit AI agents. Agents operate on-demand, with unpredictable usage patterns—paying a flat monthly fee makes little sense.
The Problem with Current Alternatives
Many AI platforms now offer usage-based pricing, but they still require:
- Upfront deposits — topping up credits or tokens before you can use the service
- Custodial accounts — your funds sit in the provider's system
- Vendor lock-in — credits are non-transferable between platforms
Self-Custodial Pay-Per-Use
AiMo Network takes a different approach. Users pay for each request directly from their own wallet—no prepaid credits, no custodial accounts.
How it works:
- Users sign up via social login or connect an external wallet
- A self-custodial embedded wallet is created automatically
- Each API call triggers a direct payment from the user's wallet to the provider
- Funds remain in the user's control until the moment of use
Under the hood, AiMo uses the x402 protocol to process payments on Base or Solana without ever holding user funds.
Supported Pricing Models
- Per-call pricing — fixed cost per API request
- Token-based pricing — cost based on input/output tokens (for LLMs)
