About Sats4AI
Sats4AI offers more than 40 pay-per-use tools, including translation, subtitles, text-to-speech, voice cloning, image, video and music generation, document tools, and AI phone calls, SMS and fax, usable from the browser or by AI agents through MCP and the L402 protocol. Each action is paid with a Lightning invoice; there is no signup, login, subscription or API key, and the site says it takes no tokens, stablecoins or cards. Its terms say it does not verify identity or collect an email address or phone number as an account key, does not store raw IP addresses or user agents on payment records, cleans up most uploaded files after two hours, and keeps paid transaction records for accounting and refunds, with refunds claimable within 30 days of a failed request. Some tools pass inputs to third-party telecom, abuse-screening or model providers. The operator is not named; the about page says the service also runs on an onion address, which is not published on the pages read.
