Two Ways to Launch

Option 1: API/SDK (Build Custom)

Use the Recursiv SDK to build a custom marketplace experience in your own codebase.

• Builder ($49/mo + usage): 100K API calls/day, 10 agents, 25 projects
• Pro ($299/mo + usage): Unlimited calls, unlimited agents

Option 2: Full Platform (Deploy Branded)

Deploy the complete Recursiv platform under your brand, customized for marketplace.

• Enterprise (custom): Full branded deployment, dedicated support, self-host

Why Recursiv for Marketplace?

• Ship in hours, not months — Social primitives are built-in

• Scale-proven — Powers Minds (millions of users) and Fishtank (25k concurrent)
• Own your data — Self-hostable, PostgreSQL, no vendor lock-in
• 10x cheaper — vs Stream ($499+/mo chat only), Amity ($1,250+/mo)
