Forget about costly billing, metering, and payment integrations to monetize your API products. Sulu gives you customer portals, usage-based metering and billing, and prepaid credit wallets for your users through a unified monetization platform and marketplace.
Sulu makes API publishing, monetization, and consumption effortless—like NPM for APIs, but with real-time payments and seamless integration. A game-changer for API vendors and developers alike!
Hey Product Hunters! 👋
I am Sam, cofounder and CTO of the Sulu team.
Today we are super excited to bring you the Sulu API Platform, an API repository and monetization platform that allows vendors to easily publish their API products to thousands of developers within minutes. Developers and AI agents can search for APIs, integrate them and pay for them in real time on a pay-per-use basis through our platform.
Think NPM for APIs, but with payments 💸.
But how does it work?
API vendors can onboard their APIs to the Sulu platform using their OpenAPI specs and set a price per call per endpoint. Prices can be fixed or depend on volume consumed, similar to subscription tiers (but more flexible 😎). Sulu generates everything you need to share your API with the world:
- Readme page
- Interactive Documentation
- Pricing Page
- A wallet and dashboard to receive payments into.
On the other side, any developer can sign up to Sulu with a credit card and start consuming APIs with no minimum spend. Developers get a prepaid wallet and an API key that they can use to access any API on the Sulu network. Every time a call is made, money flows from the developer wallet to the producer wallet, seamlessly and instantly.
Sulu takes care of metering, billing, tax compliance, and reporting, so you can focus on building your API products.
So what are you waiting for? Open an account and monetize your API with Sulu today. You will get $10 of free credits to consume any API on the Sulu network. Any and all feedback is appreciated!
If you are interested in embedded customer portals and experiences outside of the Sulu platform, please reach out to the team. We are building the product for that.
This looks super cool @sam_alarco! There have been plenty of times when I had an API-based business idea, but gave it up because I didn't want to build all the billing & metering infrastructure. And I love the idea of an AI/agent-friendly interface to make it easy to chain services together. Congrats on the launch!
@sahithkrishna_an Thank you for the encouragement! This is just our first milestone, many more features and products to come. Any feedback is appreciated.
