What changed
Two endpoints are now priced to sit alongside the comparable x402 listings agents already pay for:
pdf-to-markdown $0.20 -> $0.0025 mp4-to-mp3 $0.10 -> $0.02
The new prices flow to every alias of each endpoint — pdf-to-markdown-api,
pdf-to-text, ocr, mp4-to-mp3-converter, video-to-mp3, and the rest move
with their canonical. Sibling endpoints that only share a backend, like
pdf-table-extractor, keep their own prices.
Why
The old prices were set before there was much of an x402 market to compare
against. There is now. Other endpoints that convert a PDF URL to Markdown, or
pull an MP3 out of a video, price these jobs far lower than we were — and
mp4-to-mp3 in particular is a deterministic transcode that was priced like the
AI transcription endpoints next to it. Both are corrected: pdf-to-markdown
lands in the range its direct equivalents charge, and mp4-to-mp3 drops to a
transcode-tier price below our own video-thumbnail.
What did not change
The handlers, inputs, and outputs are identical. pdf-to-markdown still returns
layout-aware Markdown, HTML, or per-page JSON from the same backend;
mp4-to-mp3 still converts MP4/MOV/WebM/MKV/AVI/M4V/FLV to MP3 at 96/128/192
kbps. Only the price moved.
