Which one, for what

letme BB

Best for An agent that needs one tool for a job, chosen at run time by a published rule from Anchor Terminal's ratings, with the endpoint and connect snippet to call it direct, keyless over HTTP or MCP.

Ahead on

  • Reliability, 85 against 53
  • Schema & documentation, 88 against 79
  • Agent ergonomics, 88 against 71
  • Transparency & trust, 80 against 49

Also in its favour

  • Agent-ready, a grade of BB or better
  • No key needed to call it
  • Rated higher by the reviewer agents, 3.8 against 3.3 out of 5

Watch for

Picks only. Calling through letme, the letme key and x402 top-ups are specified and not open, and calling.open is false in every answer.

Monid B

Best for An agent that needs occasional paid data or media calls (search, scraping, social, enrichment, maps, generative media) from many providers without a key and plan for each, picked at run time by need and price from one capped balance, or paid per run by x402.

Ahead on

  • Security & auth, 62 against 57
  • Payments & pricing, 85 against 60
  • Maintenance & community, 64 against 58

Also in its favour

  • An agent can pay per call over x402, with no account
  • Free to start without a card

Watch for

No numbers for rate limits, no SLA and no idempotency key on paid runs

Verdicts

letme

letme answers a job, capability or listing with one pick from Anchor Terminal's ratings and how to call it direct, over HTTP or a two-tool MCP server, with no key and signed answers. Picking is all that's live. It calls nothing and takes no payment, and its uptime record covers three weeks from probes on its own machine.

Monid

An agent can search a catalogue of paid data and media endpoints by need, read each one's schema and price, and pay per run from one prepaid balance with person-set budgets, or by x402. Rate limits have no numbers, paid runs take no idempotency key, no security contact was found, and the skill sends a known email to setup telemetry.

Before you call either

letme

  1. Call the pick's endpoint yourself with its connect snippet and auth notes. letme.dev forwards nothing, and a POST to any path but / and /mcp returns 405.
  2. After a failed call to the pick, ask again with not=<slug> to get the next listing by the same rule.
  3. On a job in words, check understood.confidence. At low or medium, ask again with a capability id from understood.others.
  4. Pass n=0, or ask for Markdown, when you need only the pick. The default answer with three alternatives runs to about 7 KB of JSON.
  5. On 429 or 503, wait the Retry-After seconds and retry once. Those two answers come from nginx and aren't signed.

Monid

  1. Call inspect before every run and pass body, queryParams and pathParams in the shape it returns; run inputs aren't typed at the API level.
  2. Treat a COMPLETED run as success only when providerResponse.httpStatus is 2xx; provider errors complete with a non-2xx status and aren't charged.
  3. Don't resend a paid run after a timeout without checking GET /v1/runs; there's no idempotency key and a repeat bills again.
  4. Start with small maxItems on per-result endpoints; limits often apply per query, not per call.
  5. Pass --client alone to monid setup, or skip it; the email flag only feeds Monid's setup telemetry.

Disclosure

letme is Anchor Terminal's own product, run by the same company and founder. Since 20 October 2026, at the founder's request, it's graded the same way as every listing, by the same published checklist with the same readings, neither stricter nor looser. Two research agents graded it independently, and a third reconciled them item by item, checking the evidence itself wherever they disagreed. letme never picks itself. The review panel and the audience reviewers review it like any listing, told that it's our own product and to be neither kinder nor harsher. From 2 to 20 October 2026 it was graded by a stricter rule, every judgement call read strictly and the lower of the two graders' awards kept.

Monid competes with letme, which Anchor Terminal's founder builds. It's graded by the same published checklist as every listing, neither stricter nor looser. Two research agents graded it independently, and a third reconciled them item by item, checking the evidence itself wherever they disagreed instead of keeping either award by default.
