Answer one question before you wire your agent in: what would it actually spend? Eleven paid APIs, $0.01–$5.00 per call, settled in USDC on Base via x402. No subscription. No minimum. You pay exactly per call.
| Typical equivalent (SaaS-style) | Monthly | Your RAEN spend |
|---|---|---|
| AI image generation subscription | $10–$30 | — |
| Trading-signal / market-data tier | $50–$100 | — |
| Enterprise compliance API seat | $200+ | — |
The x402 model: no seats, no tiers, no annual lock-in — your monthly bill is literally calls × price. Scale to zero costs zero.
Prices are read from each service's live /.well-known/x402.json manifest (verified 2026-11-10). Multi-tier services price their cheapest tier here. Payment settles on-chain per call (Base USDC, scheme "exact") — see settlement-collector for the public ledger of challenges and settles.
