Monid: one connection to 2,400+ paid tools for your AI agent

Monid calls itself the OpenRouter for agent tools: your agent connects once and can discover, run and pay per use for about 2,400 endpoints from 87 providers (search, sales leads, SEO, social data, image and video generation, email and phone). How to connect it, what it costs, and what to watch out for. An independent guide.

From the reels

Reel 25 · 3 tools · October 8, 2026

Instead of signing up for a dozen APIs, your agent finds the right tool while it works, runs it, and pays per use from one balance.

How it works

  1. 1Discover. The agent searches the catalog for a tool that fits the task. Free.
  2. 2Inspect. It reads the tool's inputs and price before running. Free.
  3. 3Run. It runs the tool and the cost comes off your balance. Failed provider calls are not charged.

Good to know

  • Prices are per call, per result or per unit (e.g. per second of a phone call), and they change. A few items renew: a phone number is $2/month until released.
  • Your balance can go negative. Start small and watch your usage; a public spending-limit setting was not found in the docs.
  • Tools are third-party providers that Monid brokers; some are web scrapers, so each platform's terms are your responsibility.
  • Monid has raised $7.7M (pre-seed + seed), led by Long Journey Ventures with Madrona and 1984 Ventures, per the company's launch video.
