Tanod pricing: free daily allowance, then pay per call

Free to start, then from USD 0.001 per call. In 45 of the 47 categories we compared, Tanod lists at or below the median price of other x402 sellers, and below it in 41; in npm/PyPI package scanning and DNS record lookup it lists above the median (comparison). There are no plans, subscriptions, accounts or API keys. Every tool has a free daily allowance per IP address (reset at 00:00 UTC), applied automatically over MCP and with the header X-Tanod-Free: 1 over HTTP. Past the allowance, an x402-capable client pays per call in USDC on Base, Polygon, Solana, BNB Chain or Arbitrum, or an MPP client pays in USDC.e on Tempo (how). Most calls cost USD 0.001 to 0.02. The catalog is 270 MCP tools and 276 paid API routes.

Free, always

Exact prices are in each route's 402 response, the OpenAPI document and llms-full.txt. A failed call (bad input, upstream error, or an unknown item such as a ticker that does not exist) is not charged. The full rules, including retries and receipts, are on when a paid call is charged. To check that your client pays before you spend more, test a payment for USD 0.001 with a signed receipt.

Against named document sellers (prices checked 2026-10-13): a bank statement costs USD 0.02 here for up to 200 pages, against about USD 0.04 to 0.30 per page elsewhere (details). PDF tables cost USD 0.01, against 0.18 USDC at DC Agent Store (details). PDF OCR costs USD 0.01 to 0.02, against 0.12 (details). Any document to Markdown costs USD 0.005, against 0.04 for PDF text (details).

Pay for what you use: on Base, PDF OCR and transcription also accept the x402 upto scheme. You sign the flat price as a maximum and we settle USD 0.002 per page recognised or USD 0.001 per started minute, so a 1-page scan costs USD 0.002 instead of USD 0.01.

Pay by card instead (Apify)

No crypto wallet? Twenty Tanod tools also run as actors in the Apify Store, billed by card through your Apify account for each result. They use the same engine as the API; each actor's Store page says exactly what counts as a charge. The prices below are for Apify's free plan. Apify subscribers pay up to 20% less on every actor except whois-rdap-lookup (typically Bronze 10%, Silver 15%, Gold and above 20%; a few actors stop lower, and each Store page lists its tier prices). Agents can also run the actors with x402 through Apify's agentic payments.

How paying works

Call any route; without payment it answers HTTP 402 with the price. An x402 client signs a USDC authorization for exactly that amount, retries, and gets the result; the answer is sent once the payment settles. Every 402 offers USDC on Base, Polygon, Solana, BNB Chain or Arbitrum, or Binance-Peg USDC on BNB Chain, at the same price (Base and Polygon settle through the Coinbase facilitator). Try a USD 0.001 test payment first with POST /v1/x402/pay-test; the charge rules are also published as JSON in terms.json. Use the SDKs or any x402 client, or connect over MCP for the free allowance. Background: pay-per-call APIs with x402.

Start free

Add https://tanod.dev/mcp to your MCP client, or one of the focused servers by topic.

To pay past the free allowance from Claude Desktop, Cursor or Claude Code, run our local server instead: npx -y tanod-mcp with TANOD_PRIVATE_KEY set to a dedicated wallet holding a few dollars of USDC on Base. It signs each payment itself and stops at USD 0.05 per call and USD 1.00 per day unless you raise the caps. No wallet? Use the Apify actors, billed by card.
