Find the cheapest Polymer Pay API provider for any operation. The Polymer Pay catalog has 70+ APIs with significant overlap โ many operations can be done by multiple providers at wildly different prices. This skill automates cost analysis with a static pricing database (no API calls, no cost, instant results).
This is a local CLI tool (like polymer-pay-api-finder). It does not make API calls through the Polymer Pay proxy โ it reads from a static pricing database bundled with the skill. Three commands for cost optimization:
Search by keyword to find the cheapest provider for an operation:
node scripts/optimize.js "email verification"
node scripts/optimize.js "twitter profile"
node scripts/optimize.js "company enrich"
node scripts/optimize.js "web search"
Returns: Providers sorted by price with savings percentage.
Compare pricing across 2+ skills for all overlapping operations:
node scripts/compare.js polymer-pay-stableenrich polymer-pay-hunter polymer-pay-tomba
node scripts/compare.js polymer-pay-scrape-creators polymer-pay-stableenrich
node scripts/compare.js polymer-pay-firecrawl polymer-pay-x402engine-web
Returns: ASCII table with operations as rows, skills as columns, cheapest marked.
Scan any file for API URLs and identify cheaper alternatives:
node scripts/audit.js tools.md
node scripts/audit.js src/api-client.js
node scripts/audit.js pipeline.sh
Returns: List of found APIs with alternatives, total cost vs optimized cost.
# 1. You need email verification โ find the cheapest option
$ node scripts/optimize.js "email verification"

3. $0.0300 โ StableEnrich Hunter (polymer-pay-stableenrich)
Savings: 67% by using Hunter instead of StableEnrich Hunter
# 2. Compare StableEnrich vs direct providers
$ node scripts/compare.js polymer-pay-stableenrich polymer-pay-hunter polymer-pay-tomba
# 3. Audit your existing tools file
$ node scripts/audit.js tools.md
