Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Manoj, the creator of Run402. Run402 started from a problem I kept running into while building APIs. Building the API itself was never the difficult part monetizing it was. Every project seemed to require the same stack: payment integration, billing logic, webhooks, access control, subscriptions, usage tracking... before you could even charge for a single endpoint. I kept wondering: Why can't monetizing an API be as simple as adding authentication middleware? That question eventually became Run402. The goal is simple: wrap an endpoint, assign a price, and let Run402 handle the payment flow so developers can focus on building products instead of billing infrastructure. We're still in beta, and there's plenty to improve, but I'm excited to finally put it in front of the developer community. I'd genuinely love your feedback: What would make this useful for your APIs? Which payment providers should we support first? What's missing from existing API monetization tools? Thanks for checking out Run402! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and answering any questions. 🚀
