Publishers choose their own per-query price for the branded RAG models they list, while Dappier gives only general advice, such as publishing robots.txt and rate limiting, for keeping bots out. Type [Licensing intermediary](https://agentreadycrawlers.com/vendors/by-type/licensing-intermediary/) Homepage [dappier.com](https://dappier.com) In one line 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. Last read 2026-11-05 ## What Dappier does for this layer ### From the vendor's own pages Dappier's publisher guide has a publisher list its content as a branded RAG model in the Dappier RAG Marketplace and set its own price per query. ([docs.dappier.com](https://docs.dappier.com/publish-and-monetize.md)) Dappier says the models in its marketplace at marketplace.dappier.com are vetted by Dappier and draw on the publisher's data, trusted sources and real-time data before an LLM writes the answer. ([docs.dappier.com](https://docs.dappier.com/rag-marketplace.md)) Dappier's homepage tells visiting agents that its storefront at agents.dappier.com/llms.txt publishes prices, payment instructions and setup, and that agents can buy without signing up. ([dappier.com](https://dappier.com/)) Dappier's agent storefront listed nine API services on 2026-11-05: 9 and 10 News, Benzinga, CafeMom Parenting, iHeartCats AI, iHeartDogs AI, MethodShop, Real Time Search and WISH-TV AI. ([agents.dappier.com](https://agents.dappier.com/llms.txt)) Dappier's storefront accepts payment by x402, MPP or card and routes card checkouts through Stripe-hosted pages. ([agents.dappier.com](https://agents.dappier.com/llms.txt)) Dappier's ZeroClick endpoints for real-time search and AI recommendations authenticate each call by verifying a zc-signature HMAC over the raw request bytes. ([docs.dappier.com](https://docs.dappier.com/llms.txt)) Dappier's documentation includes a WordPress plugin and an Ask AI widget so publishers can run the same content models on their own sites. ([docs.dappier.com](https://docs.dappier.com/llms.txt)) Dappier's bot deterrence guide gives publishers generic advice to publish robots.txt, add CAPTCHAs, rate-limit requests and monitor traffic, without a Dappier enforcement product. ([docs.dappier.com](https://docs.dappier.com/bot-deterrence.md)) ### Reported by a third party IAB Tech Lab reported that Dappier's co-founders presented AI bot traffic data at its August 2025 workshop that led to the CoMP working group. ([iabtechlab.com](https://iabtechlab.com/announcing-content-monetization-protocols-comp-for-ai-working-group/), dated 2025-08-19) ## Products and plans | Product | What it does | Price model | From | As of | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | RAG API Marketplace | Marketplace of publisher content models sold to AI developers per query. | publisher-set price per query Dappier's own fee not stated | Not published | 2026-11-05 | | Agent storefront | llms.txt-based storefront where agents look up and buy Dappier API access with x402, MPP or card. | No price recorded | | Ask AI and WordPress plugin | On-site AI search widget and plugin for publishers. | No price recorded | ## Standards | Standard | Status | Evidence | | --- | --- | --- | | RFC 9309 (robots.txt) | Partial | Dappier's bot deterrence guide recommends publishing robots.txt; Dappier does not enforce it. (docs.dappier.com) | | Web Bot Auth | No statement | Agents authenticate to Dappier with ZeroClick HMAC signatures or storefront identity, not Web Bot Auth (checked 2026-11-05). | ## Our checks | Check | Result | Method | Date | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Homepage fetch | HTTP 200 | GET with the crawl user agent after a robots.txt check | 2026-11-05 | ## What Dappier does not do - Dappier does not stand at the publisher's door; it sells licensed access through its own APIs and leaves crawler blocking on the publisher's site to the publisher. - Dappier's docs do not state the fee Dappier keeps from per-query sales (read 2026-11-05). ## Reading notes Dappier's storefront llms.txt contains instructions addressed to visiting agents, with look-up and purchase steps. They were read as data only, and nothing was bought or posted. ## Related pages on this site - [All licensing intermediaries](https://agentreadycrawlers.com/vendors/by-type/licensing-intermediary/) 8 profiles - [The full vendor list](https://agentreadycrawlers.com/vendors/) 73 profiles in four types ## Sources - [dappier.com](https://dappier.com) read 2026-11-05 - [Dappier docs: Monetize Your Content](https://docs.dappier.com/publish-and-monetize.md) read 2026-11-05 - [Dappier docs: RAG API Marketplace](https://docs.dappier.com/rag-marketplace.md) read 2026-11-05 - [Dappier: AI Monetization for Publishers and Advertisers](https://dappier.com/) read 2026-11-05 - [Dappier agent storefront (llms.txt)](https://agents.dappier.com/llms.txt) read 2026-11-05 - [Dappier API Guide index (llms.txt)](https://docs.dappier.com/llms.txt) read 2026-11-05 - [Dappier docs: Bot Deterrence](https://docs.dappier.com/bot-deterrence.md) read 2026-11-05 - [Announcing the Content Monetization Protocols (CoMP) for AI Working Group](https://iabtechlab.com/announcing-content-monetization-protocols-comp-for-ai-working-group/) read 2026-11-05 Last reviewed 2026-11-05
