## Verdict: toll402 or FastAF?

### Choose FastAF if

*   You want a documented response and a fixed price per endpoint, published in the OpenAPI spec.
*   You also want one-time prepaid packs for API-key and MCP use.

### toll402 prices

*   Single page scrape: $0.005 per call over x402, or 1 credit with an API key ($0.50 per 1,000 on the $10 pack, $0.27 on the $799 pack)

### FastAF limits

*   Per call, a FastAF Google search over x402 ($0.003) costs more than the $0.001 search price read on toll402.
*   No marketplace of third-party vendors: only FastAF’s own endpoints.
*   Public pages only: login-only, paywalled and private-network targets are refused.

**Verified on 2026-10-27.** **Short answer:** toll402 is a gateway that resells thousands of tools from many vendors behind one pay-per-call interface. FastAF is a narrower catalogue of public-web data endpoints (Google search, news, jobs, Amazon, eBay, page scraping and more) with its own fixed prices. Both accept x402 payments in USDC on Base without an account.

## Same job, FastAF side

```
curl -i "https://api.fastaf.co/x402/v1/serp?query=best%20espresso%20machine"
```

The unpaid call returns `HTTP 402` with a `PAYMENT-REQUIRED` header; sign it with an x402 v2 client and retry. Per-endpoint request and response examples are on [/apis/](/apis/); the x402 flow is explained in [How x402 works](/x402/).

## When to choose toll402

*   You want one gateway to many third-party vendors (SEO, enrichment, market data) instead of integrating each.
*   The lowest per-call price on a single Google search matters more than a fixed, documented response schema per endpoint.

## When to choose FastAF

*   You need Google, Amazon, eBay, news, jobs and scraping responses with the same documented fields on every call, and prices that appear in your own OpenAPI spec.
*   You also want one-time prepaid packs for key-based use ($10 for 20,000 credits; a Google search is 5 credits) next to x402.
