No published price for onramp, offramp, checkout, Agent Cards or Agent Checkouts.\n\n**Lago.** Lago's open-source edition runs usage metering, plans, wallets and invoicing on the owner's servers at no charge, with an OpenAPI 3.1 file of 217 operations and releases about every two weeks. The free edition has one unscoped API key and no audit logs, and Lago's llms.txt understates what its MCP server can change.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Crossmint API + Docs MCP\n\n1. Send an `x-idempotency-key` on every transaction or transfer create so a retry can't pay twice\n2. Use staging keys against testnets; production keys work on mainnets only, and Agent Checkouts has no staging at all\n3. On 429, wait and retry. No Retry-After header is documented, and writes are capped at 120 a minute per project\n4. Use Agent Wallets for x402 and MPP endpoints and Agent Cards for card merchants; they aren't interchangeable\n5. Append `.md` to any docs URL for a Markdown copy\n\n### Lago\n\n1. Call `\u003cyour Lago API origin\u003e/api/v1` with `Authorization: Bearer \u003ckey\u003e`. On Lago Cloud the hosts are `api.getlago.com` and `api.eu.getlago.com`\n2. Send every usage event with a deterministic `transaction_id` and an explicit `timestamp`, and resend the same payload on retry. On the ClickHouse event store a changed timestamp is billed again\n3. Expect 422 `value_already_exist` for a repeated event on the Postgres event store. Treat it as success for a retry\n4. Page with `page` and `per_page` and read `meta.next_page` and `meta.total_count`. The default page size is 100 in most cases\n5. Treat the free edition's API key as full access. It can void invoices and terminate subscriptions, so keep it out of prompts and ask a person before financial changes\n6. Before giving an assistant the MCP server, note that it includes `delete_invoice`, `void_invoice`, `delete_plan` and `create_payment` and sets no read-only annotations\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Crossmint API + Docs MCP or Lago?\n\nCrossmint API + Docs MCP scores 67.1 (B) on agent readiness against Lago's 65.7 (B), and leads in 2 of 7 scored categories.
