Pay Per Call

Orthogonal uses simple per-call pricing. You only pay for what you use - no monthly fees or minimums. Each API endpoint has a fixed price shown in the API catalog and returned by the search API: 
{
  "api": "apollo",
  "path": "/v1/people/match",
  "price": 0.03,
  "description": "Enrich a person by email"
}

​
Pricing Tiers

x402 Direct Payment

Orthogonal supports x402 - a protocol for paying API providers directly with stablecoins. With x402:
  • Pay providers directly (lower fees for high volume)
  • Use USDC on Base network
  • No pre-paid credits needed
  1. Request an endpoint that supports x402
  2. Get a 402 Payment Required response with payment details
  3. Sign a payment authorization with your wallet
  4. Retry with the X-PAYMENT header
  5. Payment is processed and you get the response
import { wrapFetchWithPayment } from 'x402-fetch';
import { privateKeyToAccount } from 'viem/accounts';

const account = privateKeyToAccount(PRIVATE_KEY);
const fetchWithPayment = wrapFetchWithPayment(fetch, account);

// Automatically handles 402 responses
const response = await fetchWithPayment('https://x402.orth.sh/api/endpoint');
