# Paying per call or per server: Best MCP Marketplace

**Answer in brief:** Most servers come with the app's own plan. A marketplace that sells per call charges only for what the agent uses.


## Searching costs nothing

Searching a registry or a client directory costs nothing. The app behind each server keeps its own plan.

## Per-call pricing

Conecto charges per call from one balance: reading is free up to 1,000,000 reads a month, a record change costs $0.01, and a failed call costs nothing.[1]

## Compare a real week

Price one real week of calls before you commit. Usage, more than the list price, decides the bill.
