ZeroSettle

ZeroSettle is a Y Combinator-backed subscription revenue platform that lets iOS, Android, Flutter, and React Native app developers offer direct web billing as an alternative to App Store and Google Play in-app purchase — the pitch is "keep 85% of your revenue, not 70%." As Merchant of Record (on Stripe Connect, or BYOS), it handles web checkout, entitlements, subscription lifecycle, StoreKit transaction syncing, retention cancel flows, upgrade/migration offers, and compliance external-purchase reporting. The ZeroSettle IAP API (REST/JSON, X-ZeroSettle-Key auth) powers all of its client SDKs, with a free tier plus a $29/month Pro plan.

agent aware

Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles ZeroSettle the way a machine reads it — 14 machine-readable artifacts across 12 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — ZeroSettle scores 52.1/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 36/100 (agent aware). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile ZeroSettle

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for ZeroSettle. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 12

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
