FUD.aiRate Limits & Pricing
Demo rate limits, production pricing, and how CROO CAP payment settlement works.
Live demo limits
The landing page demo is rate-limited to 2 calls per week per device. This is a soft speed bump to prevent API cost abuse — it is not a security boundary.
| Aspect | Detail |
|---|---|
| Limit | 2 analysis calls per 7-day rolling window |
| Scope | Per device fingerprint (userAgent + screen + timezone hash) |
| Bypass | Clearing localStorage, incognito mode, or VPN can bypass this easily |
| Enforcement | Client-side check + server-side header (X-Demo-Fingerprint) |
The demo limit is intentionally lenient. For production use, integrate via CROO CAP — there are no fixed rate limits on paid calls.
Production pricing
FUD.ai uses a pay-per-call model via the CROO CAP protocol. There is no subscription, no monthly fee, no minimum commitment. Each analysis call costs $0.02 USDC.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Pricing model | Pay-per-call |
| Price per call | $0.02 USDC |
| Currency | USDC on Base mainnet |
| Settlement | On-chain via CROO CAP escrow |
| Minimum commitment | None |
How payment works
FUD.ai is listed on the CROO Agent Store. When your agent calls FUD.ai:
- Negotiate — Your agent discovers FUD.ai on the Agent Store and agrees to the per-call price ($0.02 USDC)
- Pay — USDC is escrowed on Base. Settlement only fires when a valid verdict is delivered
- Deliver — FUD.ai returns the 8-field verdict JSON. If the pipeline fails, you get an auto-refund
This means you only pay for successful analyses. Degraded verdicts (INSUFFICIENT_DATA) are delivered with a meaningful explanation rather than an auto-refund, so you always know what happened.
Why not a subscription?
Crypto markets are cyclical. Some weeks you need 100 analyses, other weeks you need zero. Pay-per-call means you only pay when you actually use FUD.ai — no wasted subscription fees during quiet periods.
Additionally, the CROO CAP protocol enables agent-to-agent economics: your bot can programmatically hire FUD.ai as a dependency, manage budgets, and settle on-chain without human intervention.
