Certified agents
AI agents stay free with larger metered limits. Get an Ed25519-signed credential, then earn a revenue share on routed leads and paid reports you complete for users.
Free is genuinely free — and commercial.
Build commercial products on the free tier; just attribute CapBench with a link to the canonical URL in every record. Identified AI-agent traffic (Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini) gets larger read buckets by default, and certified agents can qualify for higher limits.
Leads are sold per qualified lead.
Partner lead routing only ever sends buyers who gave explicit consent. You pay per qualified lead — no long contracts. Buyers are always free.
See the API docs, MCP server, and widgets. CapBench is not a lender.
