Tollstile puts a payment gate beside your API handler

Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

Tollstile is open-source middleware for charging per-call fees on APIs and MCP tools while keeping payment records in the merchant's own database.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-16 issue.

Field notes

The implementation model places pricing and access policy beside the existing request handler rather than requiring a separate billing workflow. Visible examples combine a $0.04 per-call price with x402 and mpp-stripe rails, subscriber and credit checks, a $20 daily spend limit, and a PostgreSQL-backed ledger. The page presents these capabilities alongside a six-stage request-to-record sequence and identifies the project as open-source and in public beta.
