Pickaxe
Also known as: Pickaxe Project, pickaxe.co
No code platform to build, deploy and monetize custom AI agents: a visual builder with a vector knowledge base, 500+ action integrations, 50+ models and one line embeds, plus branded portals with Stripe billing and access control.
Pickaxe is a no code platform for building, deploying and monetizing custom AI agents, often described as a Shopify for agent powered businesses. In a visual builder, a non technical creator sets an agent's instructions and personality, connects a knowledge base drawn from more than 14 content types including PDFs, websites, Notion, Google Drive and videos with automatic daily syncs and per file context instructions, chooses from more than 50 models across OpenAI and Anthropic with one click switching, and adds Actions that connect to more than 500 integrations such as HubSpot, Salesforce, Slack, Google Sheets and custom webhooks. Agents can be routed to specialized sub agents, generate branded PDFs, collect structured data through conversational forms and take real actions in connected tools. Finished agents deploy as a one line website embed, an API, or through email, WhatsApp and Slack, or are packaged into branded Studios and portals with custom domains, user accounts and access groups. Built in monetization lets creators charge through Stripe with subscription, pay per use or one time pricing, per user budgets and paywalls, and white label the whole experience. Pickaxe is a SOC 2 examined platform with enterprise single sign on, data privacy by design and full visibility into AI activity, and ships a command line interface built for AI coding agents such as Claude Code and Cursor to create agents, sync knowledge and deploy without opening the web app. Founded in 2022, it offers a free Starter tier, a Gold plan at twenty nine dollars per month and a Pro plan at ninety seven dollars per month, with usage billed through a transparent credit system.

Pricing
Free Starter plan; Gold at twenty nine dollars per month and Pro at ninety seven dollars per month, plus credit based usage billed at cost.
Monthly plan plus credit based usage at underlying model cost
Cost watchouts
Credit based usage can escalate quickly at scale, and knowledge storage expansion and higher model tiers add cost; end user usage of monetized agents consumes the creator's credits.
Variable cost rationale
Beyond the flat monthly plan, usage is billed through credits equal to underlying model cost, so total spend scales directly with how much the creator's agents are run, including by their end users, and can dominate at volume.

Key ambiguities
Plan prices are exact and public, but total cost depends heavily on credit usage, which varies with model choice and how often agents run, including by end users of monetized agents.
