Paid
Paid is a billing and monetization platform for the companies that build and sell AI agents. Its premise is that the software pricing playbook, charging per seat or per user, falls apart when the worker is an agent rather than a person, so Paid lets agent makers charge based on the value delivered, such as points of margin saved for a customer, and handles the usage tracking and invoicing underneath. The company was founded by Manny Medina, co-founder and former CEO of sales platform Outreach, and is based in London. It raised an oversubscribed seed of about $21.6 million led by Lightspeed on top of an earlier pre-seed, roughly $33 million in total, and is reportedly valued above $100 million before a Series A. It is early-stage and aimed at agent vendors, with pricing handled through sales.

Our take
Paid is billing and monetization for companies that sell AI agents. Its bet is that per-seat pricing breaks for agents, so it lets agent makers charge on the value or margin their agents deliver, with usage tracking and invoicing underneath. Founded by Outreach's Manny Medina, it has raised about $33M and is valued north of $100M, but it's early.
Best for
Teams building and selling AI agents that need to bill on outcomes rather than seats and want the metering handled for them.
Pros
- Purpose-built for outcome- and margin-based agent pricing
- Handles usage tracking and invoicing for agent makers
- Founder and investors carry real go-to-market pedigree
- Well-funded for a seed-stage company
Cons
- Early-stage; the model is still being proven
- Aimed at agent vendors, not end users
- No public pricing
How it compares
Skyfire, Crossmint, and Catena move money for agents; Paid sits on the seller's side, deciding what to charge for an agent's work and collecting it.
