Monetize AI Agent Traffic
Without Breaking Your Pricing Model

Separate human and machine usage. Authenticate AI agents. Create percentage-based and usage-based billing tiers with full visibility and control.

THE CHALLENGE

AI Agents Are Changing
API Traffic

Automation tools and AI agents are increasing API load beyond what human-scale pricing anticipated

Pricing models built for human users are misaligned with machine-scale access patterns

SaaS companies lack clean separation between human and agent traffic in their infrastructure

Blocking bots sacrifices revenue opportunity instead of creating controlled monetization paths

THE SOLUTION

A Gateway Built for the Machine Era

Issues machine-specific credentials

Separates agent traffic from human sessions

Applies rate limits per agent

Tracks usage at endpoint level

Enables percentage-based or usage-based billing models

This is not bot blocking. It is monetized agent access.

Turn AI Usage Into Revenue

FAQ

Common Questions

Everything you need to know about agent billing, overages, and managing plans.

Agent Billing

AgentGateway identifies AI agent traffic separately from human user traffic using credential headers, OAuth patterns, and behavioral signals. Agent requests are metered independently, so you can apply different pricing tiers, rate limits, and billing rules to agents without affecting your existing human user plans.

Yes. You can define separate plans for agents — Free, Pro, or Partner — each with their own request quotas, rate limits, and pricing. Human plans you already have in Stripe remain untouched. AgentGateway layers on top of your existing billing setup.

Any HTTP request classified as originating from an AI agent — identified via an AgentGateway credential (API key or JWT) — counts as a billable agent request. Requests that are blocked or rate-limited before reaching your API are not counted toward usage.

WHY NOW

The Agent Economy Is Already Here

73%

of SaaS companies report increased bot traffic in 2024

2.4x

average API load increase from automation tools

$180B

projected AI agent market size by 2030

Companies that wait to address agent traffic will face a choice: block valuable automation or absorb unsustainable infrastructure costs.

Early adopters are already building agent-first infrastructure. The question is not whether to monetize agent access, but how quickly you can deploy it.
