We graded 791 x402 sellers.
Median score 33/100.

Every host was probed with a plain HTTP request against the paid routes it advertises, plus documented MCP endpoints. A seller counts as 'real 402' only when an advertised paid route answers 402; a 200 means the product is free; 405 means the method is not served. Scores weight real 402s, live MCP, response time and route documentation.

Aggregates only. Sellers that scored low are deliberately not named: their endpoint may have changed since the probe. Re-run the audit to re-check any host.
