Paid
London billing platform for AI agent companies that meters agent work, prices it by outcome, bills customers, and shows the value each agent delivered.
AI agent companies moving from seat pricing to usage or outcome pricing that want metering, billing, and customer-facing value reports in one platform.
Seat-based SaaS companies with simple Stripe billing, or buyers who want to compare list prices before talking to sales.
Verdict
Paid is worth a look for AI agent companies that want to charge for the work their agents complete and need help designing that model. Its value reports suit vendors whose customers ask what the agent did for the money. Seat-based SaaS teams with simple billing do not need it.

Review Excerpts
Below are excerpts from public reviews. Our team scoured public reviews, forums, and chat rooms to get a balanced view of customers' experience with this company. Paid reviews and pay-for-play sites such as Clutch were excluded.
“Paid worked with us to develop the right pricing model before we configured anything. Their thought partnership is invaluable.”
Paid links every billing line item to the raw agent event it was derived from, so customers can audit what an agent did before they pay for it.
Paid publishes no plan prices, and its pricing page routes to the homepage, so buyers cannot estimate cost before a sales conversation.

- Buyer outcomes (for ai usage-based billing)
- Agent metering
- Pricing model design support
- Customer value reporting
