The Commission Expert Deliverable skill uses account credits, not SPT. Works with any MCP or shell agent. ## Authentication & Billing Three auth methods: - API Key: X-API-Key header ($50 of API calls free every month (100 calls). Add a card to keep it renewing — then 50¢ per API call) - SPT (Shared Payment Token) via MPP: Hit any endpoint without credentials → HTTP 402 with the exact price for that request → pay via Authorization: Bearer spt_xxx. Each request costs its API-call count × $0.50 (a request may consume 5–30 calls; the 402 body states the amount). - OIDC: Enterprise SSO via Authorization: Bearer SPT/MPP is zero-onboarding. Agents discover pricing automatically via the 402 response. Direct REST API only. ### Dynamic Offering Pricing (verbatim from catalog) - Brand Intelligence (https://www.fodda.ai/brand-intelligence): $30.00 (60 API calls) - Deep Research (https://www.fodda.ai/deep-research): $100.00 (200 API calls) - Topic Research (https://www.fodda.ai/topic-research): $20.00 (40 API calls) - Earnings Intelligence (https://www.fodda.ai/earnings-intelligence): $30.00 (60 API calls) - Expert Consult (https://www.fodda.ai/expert-consult): $15.00 per turn (30 API calls) Pricing: https://www.fodda.ai/pricing Agent integration: https://www.fodda.ai/agents ## About - [PSFK](https://psfk.com): The editorial trends company behind Fodda - [Agent outreach policy](https://www.fodda.ai/agent-outreach-policy): Opt-out and disclosure - [Contact](mailto:hello@fodda.ai) ## Sitemap - [Sitemap](https://www.fodda.ai/sitemap.xml) - [Home](https://www.fodda.ai/) - [Why Fodda](https://www.fodda.ai/why-fodda) - [Product](https://www.fodda.ai/product) - [Graphs](https://www.fodda.ai/graphs) - [Experts](https://www.fodda.ai/experts) - [API Documentation](https://www.fodda.ai/api) - [Pricing](https://www.fodda.ai/pricing) - [About](https://www.fodda.ai/about) - [Contact](https://www.fodda.ai/contact) ## Optional - [Editorial samples](https://psfk.com/weekly): PSFK Weekly newsletter showing Fodda outputs - [Blog](https://www.fodda.ai/blog)
