The licensing layeryour lawyers will sign off on.
Stop scraping in the gray zone. Every query is a paid, attributed transaction with the publisher of record. SOC2-ready audit logs, per-domain spend caps, receipts as evidence — everything compliance asks for, before they ask.
The current options all suck.
Scrape and pray. Negotiate for 18 months. Or buy stale Common Crawl. Pick your poison.
Enterprise procurement asks where content comes from
F500 legal review wants provable, licensed sourcing. "We scrape and the courts haven't ruled yet" doesn't pass.
Hallucinations are liability in regulated verticals
In legal, medical, financial AI, a wrong citation is a lawsuit. You need verifiable provenance on every retrieval.
Bilateral licensing locks you into one publisher
A signed deal with one news org doesn't cover the next vertical. You need breadth. Licensing teams don't scale to "every publisher we ever touch."
xpay is the fourth option.
Skip the lawsuits. Skip the licensing deals. Skip the attribution headaches. Pay-per-query, one account, every publisher in our network.
Receipts as evidence
Every retrieved document comes with a settlement receipt: timestamp, publisher, content hash, amount. Hand to your audit team.
Single licensing contract, 1,000+ sources
One MSA with xpay✦ covers per-query access across the entire publisher network. Add new verticals without renegotiating.
Spend caps + per-domain governance
Enforce budgets per project, per user, per publisher domain. Built-in rate limits and policy controls.
Three lines. Ship Tuesday.
Native SDKs across the agent stack. Drop in xpay where you already retrieve.

Common questions from agent builders evaluating xpay
xpay is SOC2-aligned and we maintain audit-ready logging by default. HIPAA BAAs available for enterprise plans. Talk to sales for compliance documentation.
Yes — enterprise plans include committed-spend discounts, dedicated support, and custom MSAs. Typical floor is $10K/month commit.
Yes. Set domain allow-lists at the org or project level. Useful when compliance requires sourcing from a vetted set.
Queries go directly between your wallet and the publisher's endpoint via the xpay facilitator (settlement only). xpay does not store retrieved content. Audit logs contain metadata, not content payloads.
xpay covers publishers in our network. Existing bilateral deals (Westlaw, Bloomberg, FactSet, etc.) continue independently. Use xpay for the long-tail you can't get bilateral deals with.
