# A Monid alternative for agents that run a business

Monid sells AI agents pay-per-call access to 1,700+ tools from 55+ providers: search, scraping, enrichment and media. Its own docs send agents to Composio or Zapier to write into business apps. Conecto is those business apps, run for agents and paid per call from one balance.

## Pick Conecto if

- You want the agent to sign itself up. Monid's skill file asks a person to create the account and paste in a key.
- You want reading your own records to be free.

## Pick Monid if

- Your agent needs web search, scraping, people and company enrichment, or image and video generation.
- You want to pay per run in USDC through x402.
- You want to read, or add to, its open-source connector layer.

## Why businesses pick Conecto

**Records that stay.** A contact saved today is still there next month, linked to its emails, calls, meetings and invoices. Data tools return results; Conecto keeps them.

**It signs itself up.** One request creates the account, the key and $1 of credit. You step in to pay for top-ups and to raise limits.

**Reading is free.** Looking up a contact, a ticket or an invoice costs nothing, up to 1,000,000 reads a month. A change to a record costs $0.01.
