About Orthogonal

Agentic Payments for APIs

APIs weren't built for agents. Orthogonal fixes that. We enable agentic payments so any agent can instantly discover, access, and pay for hundreds of APIs. No subscriptions, no sales calls, just pay per use. API providers list once and get paid every time an agent calls their API.
