Pricing

Clusters is a registry, marketplace, and payment layer for AI capabilities. Publishing is free. You earn when others buy or run your capabilities; the platform takes a transparent fee per sale.

Publish
Free
Upload skills, agents, loops, and plugins. Public or unlisted. Versioned, secret-scanned, attributed.
Sell
You set the price
One-time paid installs or pay-per-use. Priced in USDC, charged over x402. You keep your share after the platform fee.
Teams
Workspaces
Private registries, shared items, and role-based publishing for a team.

How charges work

Free uploads
Publishing public or unlisted capabilities is free.
Private items
Workspace-private items are visible only to authorized members — kept out of the public registry.
Paid installs
A one-time purchase. The buyer pays in USDC over x402; settlement is on-chain.
Pay per use
Metered per execution or per API call. Prices are integer minor units (cents) — e.g. 5¢/run.
Platform fee
A percentage fee is deducted from each sale and recorded in the ledger as basis points. Your dashboard shows gross, fee, and net for every transaction.
Featured listings & boosts
Optional paid placement to surface a listing. Always labeled “Featured”. Featured items never hide safety warnings.
Creator verification
A trust signal applied after review. It affects ranking and rate limits, not your fee.
External runner usage
Agents and loops run on your own runners (the data plane). Clusters meters and bills execution but does not charge separately for your compute.

About payouts & refunds

  • Earnings are tracked as internal accounting. Payouts are processed manually — there is no automatic external bank or wallet payout in this release.
  • Refunds and disputes are handled by review. Accepting a dispute records intent to refund; no funds move automatically.
  • We do not claim certified security or bank-grade compliance. See the Trust & safety page.
