When you'll pay
Free tier covers most exploration and individual usage. Paid x402 kicks in:
- After the 100 calls/month free quota
- For T6 async flagships (always paid)
- For high-volume agent traffic (~thousand+ calls/month)
Examples
A typical agent session calling 5 tools:
| Tool | Tier | Price |
|---|---|---|
competitor_intel | T3 | $0.15 |
sec_filing_decoder (3 companies) | T3 × 3 | $0.45 |
sanctions_screener_multi (5 entities) | T3 × 5 | $0.75 |
re_deal_screener (1 deal) | T4 | $0.20 |
research_paper_qa (1 query) | T4 | $0.20 |
| Total session | $1.75 |
For comparison: a typical $5-15k consulting report on equivalent topics = ~1000-2000× the price.
Compare with similar offers
- PaperQA2 (research_paper_qa equivalent): self-hosted, requires you to manage Python + corpus → free but operational burden
- Cobalt pentest scope: $5k-15k per engagement scope → vs our $0.05 estimate
- Sanctions screening incumbents (LexisNexis, ComplyAdvantage): $1-5/check, restricted access → vs our $0.15 multi-jurisdiction
- SEC filing decoder (CapIQ, Bloomberg): subscription only → vs our $0.15 per company
The Gapup pricing reflects pay-as-you-go agent economics: an agent making decisions over thousands of micro-queries gets order-of-magnitude cheaper than human-grade subscriptions.
