Which one fits
Choose Orthogonal if your agent should pay per call in stablecoins over x402 or MPP, needs a wide choice of company, contact and intent data, or needs its own inbox and phone number.
Choose Agentik if your agent works on your own ad and analytics accounts, needs ad research with an analysis of each ad, or runs on keys with hard spending caps.

Where Orthogonal is the better choice
- Pay per call in stablecoinsAgents can pay each call over x402 (USDC or OUSD on Base) or MPP (on Tempo) instead of using credits. Agentik takes cards only.45
- A wide choice of company and contact data27 enrichment APIs, such as Apollo, People Data Labs, ContactOut, RocketReach and Findymail, plus funding, hiring and intent signals from providers such as PredictLeads and Signalbase.14
- Email and phone for the agentAgentMail gives an agent its own inboxes, and AgentPhone a real phone number for calls and messages.4
- Up to $10 of free creditIts pricing page gives new users $10 of free credits; its docs say $5.25

- Ad research with an analysis of each adAdspy’s 17 tools search Meta and Google ads and analyse each one, from the same balance as every other tool.

More tools from the same providers
| Provider | Agentik | Orthogonal |
|---|---|---|
| ScrapeCreators | 189 | 1073 |
| Leadsforge | 27 | 273 |
| Icypeas | 26 | 73 |
| Exa | 16 | 43 |
| Serper | 2 | 123 |
| Tavily | 1 | 63 |
| CoinGecko | 1 | 13 |
Each one counts endpoints its own way: a higher number is more of a provider’s API, not a better tool.
Using both
Both are remote MCP servers that bill per call, so one agent can use both: Orthogonal for company and contact data or stablecoin payments, Agentik for your ad accounts, ad research and capped keys.
Questions
Does Orthogonal or Agentik add a fee?
Orthogonal adds a 5% processing fee to credit purchases, so $25 of credits costs $26.25. Agentik bills each call at the provider’s price with 0% markup, and its top-ups carry 5.5%, minimum $0.80.
Can my agent pay with stablecoins?
With Orthogonal, yes, over x402 (USDC or OUSD on Base) or MPP. Agentik is card only, by design.
Which one works on my own ad accounts?
Agentik does, with 650 tools that read and change your ad accounts, Google Analytics and Search Console, connected once per workspace; changes apply only once you confirm them. The Orthogonal pages we read do not describe connecting your own ad accounts.
Can I use Orthogonal and Agentik in the same agent?
Yes. Both are remote MCP servers with OAuth. Add both to Claude or Cursor, and your agent calls each one for its part.
