The score comes from our model.

• Show HN: Pay-per-Crawl – make AI crawlers pay per page in USDC, for 10 stacks · score 7.3

  Pay-per-Crawl is a middleware that implements HTTP 402 payment gating for AI crawlers across ten popular web stacks, allowing site owners to charge USDC on Base for page access. It uses x402 and MPP protocols, includes a shared crawler catalog, and lacks custody or API keys, with payments going directly to the owner's wallet. The project is notable for its rapid porting to many stacks and its focus on real mainnet settlements and security hardening.

• Show HN: MoneySwitch – AI agents pay x402 APIs in USDC (self-hosted) · score 7.0

  MoneySwitch is a self-hosted Web3 cloud wallet that lets AI agents pay for x402 APIs using USDC on Monad or Base. It provides per-agent keys with spending limits, human approval workflows, and detailed billing, keeping private keys secure on the server.

• Show HN: Send21 – Crypto pay links an AI agent can create but can't spend · score 5.0

  Send21 is a crypto payment-link service where AI agents can create payment drafts via API or MCP using scoped keys that cannot spend funds, requiring a human to sign the transaction in their own wallet. The draft-only scoping for agents is a sensible security model for agent-assisted payments, though the product is early and the demo README is minimal.

• Show HN: Worklicant – Lightweight ATS. Pay per Vacancy. AI Enabled · score 4.0

  Worklicant is a lightweight applicant tracking system (ATS) with a pay-per-vacancy model and AI features. It simplifies posting jobs and reviewing candidates with a short summary view, but information is limited and it appears to be an early-stage product.
