Pick your current platform. 3 steps each. Code diff included. One HTTPS endpoint, one meter, one bill — and your agents can pay directly.
Kill the per-provider monthly tiers. MeterCall runs one flat meter across 2,400 modules.
Sign up at metercall.ai/beta. Free starter credits included.
Point at api.metercall.ai, send X-MeterCall-Key instead of X-RapidAPI-Key.
Kill the per-provider Basic/Pro/Ultra plans. You're now paying per call.

})If your Zap is a simple API glue between two services, drop it. A single MeterCall call plus a cron runs cheaper and faster.
Export your Zap list. Anything that's just "API A → transform → API B" is a migration candidate.
Each Zap becomes a function that calls MeterCall twice, with your own transform in the middle.
Cron it on Fly, Vercel cron, GitHub Actions, or inside your agent loop. No task quotas.
# Zap: "When Stripe charge succeeds, send Slack message"
# $29.99-$800/mo task-tier pricing
# Locked inside Zapier editorconst charge = await mc("stripe/charges/retrieve", {id});
await mc("slack/chat.postMessage", {
channel: "#revenue",
text: `$${charge.amount/100} from ${charge.customer}`
});
// $0.002 total. No quota.Scenarios billed per "operation" become plain HTTPS calls billed per call. Keep the Make scenario if you love the canvas — just move the HTTP work.
Count ops/month. If you're burning operations on API glue, that's the piece to move.
Where you'd add a Make HTTP module, call MeterCall directly from a small function.
Still need the visual canvas? Use Make's HTTP module to call MeterCall and pay $0.001/call through the same meter.
# 1 scenario = 8 ops per run
# 10k runs/mo = 80k ops
# Pro plan = $16+/mo, capped// 10k runs * 3 MeterCall calls = 30k calls
// $30/mo total, no caps, no surprise overagesStop running the workflow engine. Pipe your n8n nodes' HTTP Request calls through MeterCall — or delete them entirely and call MeterCall from plain code.
Any n8n node that's a thin wrapper around an HTTP API is a candidate to re-route.
Set URL to https://api.metercall.ai/v1/<module>/<op>. Add X-MeterCall-Key.
If n8n's only job was "call APIs," delete the workflow and just call MeterCall from your app code.
# Docker container + Postgres + queue worker
# Ops cost + on-call + node updates
# Still writing custom nodes for long-tail APIs// One HTTPS endpoint.
// Zero containers to run.
// 2,400 modules ready today.Apigee still wins if you're publishing APIs to external developers. If you're consuming third-party APIs from inside your own stack, MeterCall is 100x cheaper and shipped in 5 minutes.
Keep Apigee for APIs you publish. Move the "we consume Stripe/Salesforce/Twilio" calls to MeterCall.
Swap the Apigee proxy URL for api.metercall.ai. Send BYO credential in X-Upstream-Auth.
Delete the Apigee proxies you only had for third-party consumption. Watch the bill drop.
# GCP project + Apigee org + proxy bundle
# ~$500/mo minimum, Enterprise tiers quoted
# Credentials in KVM / Secret Manager// Single HTTPS endpoint, no GCP project.
// $0.001/call. BYO upstream credential per call.
// Credentials never stored.White-glove migration for teams with 10+ integrations. We'll map your endpoints and send you a working diff.
