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.
