Locus

Payment infrastructure for AI agents: a metered credit and billing layer that lets a platform give its customers' agents paid tools such as search, enrichment and data APIs and charge each customer per call, with USDC wallets and spending controls for the agents themselves.

Locus Pro Platform Sold on its own

Billing and credit layer for AI agents' paid tool calls: a platform routes its customers' agent calls through Locus, which reaches the provider, charges each customer's balance at base cost plus the platform's markup and keeps one ledger; free to start, then $20, $200 and $1,000 a month plans with included credits.
