Nevermined vs o11
Nevermined is a payments and metering layer for AI agents and APIs. Sellers add x402 payments, credits, or subscription plans to their endpoints, and Nevermined runs a facilitator that verifies and settles each request. o11 is the wallet side: your agent finds a paid tool, sees the price, and pays per call.
Reviewed Nov 12, 2026 from Nevermined’s own published material. o11 is one of the two products compared.
| o11 | Nevermined | |
|---|---|---|
| Main job | A wallet and catalog: agents find a paid tool and call it | Payments, plans, and metering for sellers of agent services |
| What you integrate | One MCP server or API on the agent side | Payment middleware on each seller endpoint, plus a buyer SDK |
| Tools ready to call | Thousands of priced tools in one catalog | Services listed in the Nevermined catalog |
| Payment | Per call from a funded o11 wallet | x402 per request, prepaid credits, or subscriptions, in stablecoins or fiat |
| Spending controls | An allowance on each agent card, price shown before each call | Scoped spend permissions inside x402 access tokens |
Which one to choose
- When should I choose Nevermined?
- When you are building an agent or API to sell and need plans, credits, and per-request billing for your own customers.
- When should I choose o11?
- When you want your agents to use many existing paid tools now from one wallet, with limits per agent and no seller-side setup.
- Can I use Nevermined and o11 together?
- Yes. Nevermined is mostly about how a seller gets paid, and o11 is about giving your agent tools to call. A seller could use Nevermined and also list on o11.
