## Where Locus Pro is the better choice

- **Resale to your own customers.** Locus Pro gives each of your customers a balance and charges their agents’ calls at base cost plus your markup: a percentage, a flat fee per call, or both.
- **Pay per call in USDC.** Through Pay With Locus, a separate product, an agent can pay each call in USDC on Base over x402; Locus also documents MPP payments through Tempo. Agentik takes cards only.
- **Language models from the same credits.** Locus Pro also serves chat models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini and DeepSeek, billed from the same balance as its tools. Agentik does not route models for your agent’s own reasoning.
- **Your own APIs next to the catalog.** On Enterprise, you add your own HTTP API with its credential and a price. Agents find it next to the catalog, and it bills through the same ledger.

## Where Agentik is different

- **Your own ad and analytics accounts.** 650 tools read and change your ad accounts, Google Analytics and Search Console, connected once per workspace. Changes are previewed first and applied only when confirmed.
- **Ad research with an analysis of each ad.** Adspy’s 17 tools search Meta and Google ads and analyse each one, from the same balance as every other tool.
- **No fee on each call.** Agentik bills each call at the provider’s price with 0% markup; top-ups carry 5.5%, minimum $0.80, added on top. Locus Pro’s directory lists a fee of $0.003 to $0.005 on some endpoints.
- **$5 to start.** Eligible new Google and GitHub accounts can receive $5 of credit, valid 14 days, for low-cost calls. Video needs paid credit.
- **Teammates without a plan.** Agentik has no plan to upgrade, and teammates can be invited to any workspace. On Locus Pro, team access comes with Enterprise, at $200 a month.

## Using both

The two can sit side by side, each a remote MCP server with its own balance. Add both to the same client and your agent picks the tool it needs, for example Locus Pro for a language model and Agentik for ad research and your own ad accounts.

## Questions

### Is Agentik an alternative to Locus Pro?

For your own agent, yes. Both bill paid APIs per call from one prepaid balance. Agentik serves 2,287 tools from 52 providers with no plan, and adds your own ad and analytics accounts. If you resell tools to your own customers with a markup, Locus Pro is built for that.

Locus Pro sells prepaid credits, with plans at $0, $20 a month with $30 of credits, and $200 for Enterprise; included credits expire at the end of each billing period. Agentik bills each call at the provider’s price from a prepaid balance, with 0% markup and no plan; top-ups carry 5.5%, minimum $0.80.

### Can my agent pay in USDC over x402?

With Locus, yes, through Pay With Locus, a separate product that pays per call in USDC on Base over x402; Locus Pro itself needs no crypto. Agentik takes cards only, by design.

### Can I bring my own API keys?

On Locus Pro Enterprise, you can add your own APIs with their credentials and a price. Agentik holds its provider accounts and takes no keys; ad and analytics tools use your own accounts, connected once per workspace.
