Read 2026-11-05. Source: https://agentreadycrawlers.com/vendors/by-type/licensing-intermediary Site: Agent Ready Crawlers Last reviewed: 2026-11-05 Vendors by type # Licensing intermediaries In short 8 licensing intermediaries are profiled, from marketplaces such as TollBit and Dappier to the RSL standard and IAB Tech Lab's CoMP. 3 of 8 document support for RFC 9309, 1 for Web Bot Auth and 1 for reverse DNS. Most of them price access without blocking anyone, and enforcement stays with the publisher's CDN or bot manager. The 8 licensing intermediaries run alphabetically from Dappier to TollBit, and carry 85 sourced facts between them. The price models on record include publisher-set price per query; open specification; sales-led; annual subscription; free with Tools Portal registration; and 5 more. None of the profiles carries a key directory or IP file probe of our own. Each profile lists what the vendor does not do next to what it does. - [Crawler operators (31)](https://agentreadycrawlers.com/vendors/by-type/crawler-operator/) - [Bot management vendors (23)](https://agentreadycrawlers.com/vendors/by-type/bot-management/) - [Verification providers (11)](https://agentreadycrawlers.com/vendors/by-type/verification-provider/) - [Licensing intermediaries (8)](https://agentreadycrawlers.com/vendors/by-type/licensing-intermediary/) - [All 73](https://agentreadycrawlers.com/vendors/) | Vendor | Type | What it does for this layer | Standards supported | Pricing model | Our check | Last read | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Dappier | Licensing intermediary | Content marketplace where publishers list their content as priced RAG models and AI agents buy query access through an agent storefront that takes x402, MPP or card payments without signup. | 0; partial: rfc9309 | publisher-set price per query | Homepage HTTP 200 2026-11-05 | 2026-11-05 | | FetchRight | Licensing intermediary | Licensing service behind the open Peek-Then-Pay protocol: a site publishes /.well-known/peek.json, AI agents get a priced HTTP 203 preview, buy a JWT license per intent and present it to an edge enforcer. | 0 | open specification; sales-led | Homepage HTTP 200 2026-11-05 | 2026-11-05 | | IAB Tech Lab | Licensing intermediary | Ad-industry standards body whose Content Monetization Protocols (CoMP) 1.0 define how a licensed AI crawler asks a publisher for content and gets a token, alongside a paid Spiders and Bots List and a free Agent Registry. | 3 rfc9309, web-bot-auth, reverse-dns; partial: ip-list | open specification; annual subscription; 1 more | Homepage HTTP 200 2026-11-05 | 2026-11-05 | | ProRata | Licensing intermediary | AI attribution company that splits an AI answer into claims and measures each source's share as a basis for licensing and payment, and runs Gist Answers on a network of licensed publisher titles. | 0 | No price recorded | Homepage HTTP 200 2026-11-05 | 2026-11-05 | | RSL Collective | Licensing intermediary | Nonprofit collective rights organisation and co-developer of the RSL standard, a machine-readable license file a site links from robots.txt so crawlers can see, buy and prove a license for training, AI input, search or crawling. | 1 rfc9309 | open standard; free to join for publishers | Homepage HTTP 200 2026-11-05 | 2026-11-05 | | Skyfire | Licensing intermediary | Agent identity and payment network whose signed KYA and pay tokens let a website, API or bot manager admit a verified agent and charge it per request, with Skyfire vetting the agent platform and the person or business behind the agent. | 0 | subscription for verification (Individual or Organization) | Homepage HTTP 200 2026-11-05 | 2026-11-05 | | Supertab | Licensing intermediary | Managed RSL licensing service: Supertab Connect hosts a publisher's license.xml and RSL license server, issues license tokens to crawlers, checks them at the CDN with its SDK and bills the use, priced from USD 99 a month. | 1 rfc9309 | monthly subscription by visitors and licensees | Homepage HTTP 200 2026-11-05 | 2026-11-05 | | TollBit | Licensing intermediary | Licensing marketplace that sends AI bots, by user agent at the publisher's CDN, to an Agent Site on a tollbit subdomain, where bots holding a short-lived TollBit JWT get licensed content at publisher-set rates per 1,000 pages. | 0; partial: rfc9309 | free for publishers; AI customers pay the publisher's rate plus a TollBit transaction fee | Homepage HTTP 200 2026-11-05 | 2026-11-05 | ## Sources - [The full vendor list (this site)](https://agentreadycrawlers.com/vendors/) read 2026-11-04 - [Dappier: dappier.com](https://dappier.com) read 2026-11-05 - [FetchRight: fetchright.ai](https://fetchright.ai) read 2026-11-05 - [IAB Tech Lab: iabtechlab.com](https://iabtechlab.com/standards/comp-content-monetization-protocols-initiative/) read 2026-11-05 - [ProRata: prorata.ai](https://prorata.ai) read 2026-11-05 - [RSL Collective: rslcollective.org](https://rslcollective.org) read 2026-11-05 - [Skyfire: skyfire.xyz](https://skyfire.xyz) read 2026-11-05 - [Supertab: supertab.co](https://www.supertab.co) read 2026-11-05 - [TollBit: tollbit.com](https://tollbit.com) read 2026-11-05 Last reviewed 2026-11-05
