Apiosk is an innovative platform designed to empower businesses to accept payments directly from AI agents and other machine payment rails. It bridges the gap between cryptocurrency payments (USDC) and traditional banking, converting stablecoin micro-payments into euros and settling them directly to your bank account, fully reconciled for accounting. This solution is ideal for providers of APIs, MCP servers, datasets, and various digital services looking to monetize interactions that don't fit a traditional subscription model.
Key Features
Stablecoins In, Euros Out: Seamlessly accept USDC payments and receive euro settlements via SEPA.
Per-Call Monetization: Charge AI agents and one-off users a real price per request (e.g., EUR 0.05), significantly increasing revenue from non-subscribers.
Non-Custodial Vault: Maintain full control over your funds; Apiosk never takes custody.
Accounting Ready: Receive comprehensive accounting exports (CSV, Excel, UBL, XML, signed ledger PDF) with every settlement, ready for your ERP and bookkeeping tools.
Drop-in Integration: Monetize existing APIs, MCP servers, datasets, and digital products in minutes without requiring a rebuild or migration.
Developer Tooling: Access a Gateway API, MCP server, JavaScript SDK, and Python SDK for flexible integration.
Use Cases
Apiosk is perfect for API providers whose services are consumed by AI agents, one-off scripts, or developers evaluating an API without committing to a monthly subscription. Instead of these potential buyers converting to zero, Apiosk enables them to pay per call at a profitable rate, unlocking a long tail of revenue that was previously inaccessible. This allows businesses to capture value from transient, high-volume machine interactions without cannibalizing their existing subscription plans. Furthermore, it simplifies the complex process of accepting cryptocurrency payments from AI. While AI agents pay in USDC over x402 and other machine payment rails, Apiosk handles the bundling of these micro-payments, the automatic conversion from USDC to EUR, and the final settlement to your bank, ensuring every AI payment becomes legitimate, reconciled revenue for your business.
Pricing Information
Apiosk operates on a per-call pricing model, allowing providers to set their own rates (e.g., EUR 0.05 or EUR 0.10 per request). This model is designed to be attractive for anonymous, per-request buyers while ensuring subscribers maintain their existing plans, preventing cannibalization. Specific details on service fees for Apiosk itself are not provided, but the core offering is about enabling you to charge per call.
User Experience and Support
The platform emphasizes ease of use, promising that users can "start accepting AI payments in minutes" by simply creating an API key and connecting once. The availability of a Provider Portal, Gateway API, MCP server, JavaScript SDK, and Python SDK indicates robust developer tooling and resources. Documentation is explicitly mentioned, suggesting comprehensive guides for integration and usage.
Technical Details
Apiosk leverages stablecoins, specifically USDC, for payments, settling on blockchain networks such as Base, Solana, and Polygon (with Arbitrum coming soon). It integrates with x402 and other machine payment rails for AI agent transactions. The developer toolkit includes a Gateway API for direct integration, an MCP server for specific machine payment protocols, and SDKs for popular programming languages like JavaScript and Python.
