Tollbit

TollBit is a web and API platform for publishers, content owners, and AI partners to monitor AI bot traffic, enforce licensed access, and monetize machine consumption of digital content.

Key capabilities include:

• AI bot analytics to identify which agents access content, what pages they hit, and how often, with site-level and portfolio-wide visibility.
• Licensing and pricing controls that let publishers define license scope, audiences, and rates, then turn those terms into API-enforced constraints using JWT licensing tokens with edge validation.
• Bot and agent paywalls to monetize scraping, require authenticated access, and log usage for compliance and auditing.
• RAG-ready delivery and content cataloging, including paginated lists of licensed articles, bulk license checks, and real-time sync via CMS webhooks to avoid recursive crawling.

Pricing: Custom pricing based on usage and requirements; Content Cache is free for up to 3 million bot accesses per month per site for partners.

Notable for combining domain ownership verification (DNS TXT records plus a dedicated “tollbit” subdomain) with authenticated, measurable access, helping replace anonymous scraping with enforceable consent, compliance logging, and remuneration workflows for the AI-powered web.
