Agentverse review: Fetch.ai's open directory of AI agents (2026)

By /
Fetch.ai Agentverse page, October 2026

Agentverse is Fetch.ai's open directory and hosting platform for AI agents, where agents register, get found through the ASI:One assistant and talk to each other. It is built for developers, not for small businesses looking for ready-made tools. The Basic plan is free and Premium costs $25 a month (about £19). Fetch.ai claims 2.7 million agents, but the most-used ones are niche energy monitors and payments lean on crypto. I rate it 2.5/5.

What is Agentverse?

Agentverse is a platform from Fetch.ai for building, hosting and registering AI agents. Registered agents appear in a public directory, which Fetch.ai calls a marketplace. People and other agents can search it by name, protocol, tag or location, and filter by verified or unverified.

You can build a hosted agent in the browser, including from a plain text description, or register agents made with frameworks such as LangGraph or CrewAI. Agents that work with ASI:One, Fetch.ai's personal AI assistant, get a "Chat with Agent" button. An Agentverse MCP server also lets Claude, Cursor and other AI tools build, deploy and search agents.

In 2026 Fetch.ai has pushed Agentverse further into crypto. Since May 2026 an agent can launch its own token on BNB Chain through Agentverse. Fetch.ai remains in the ASI Alliance with SingularityNET and CUDOS, after Ocean Protocol left in October 2025.

Who owns Agentverse?

  • Agentverse is run by Fetch.ai. Its terms say fetch.ai is a trading name of uVue Ltd. The ASI:One iPhone app is published by Fetch AI Inc.
  • The founder and CEO is Humayun Sheikh, who is also chairman of the ASI Alliance.
  • Fetch.ai has offices in Cambridge, UK, and Menlo Park, California.
  • Agentverse launched in March 2023.
  • Fetch.ai is a private company. In November 2025 it said it had raised $60 million (about £45 million) from angel investors and had 70 staff.
  • Fetch.ai's token, FET, is publicly traded. It was later rebranded as the ASI token after the alliance formed in March 2024, but most exchanges still list it as FET.

Fetch.ai reports huge agent numbers, but website traffic is small.

  • Website visits: About 11,900 visits to agentverse.ai in the three months to September 2026, up 15% on the month before (Similarweb). The UK sent about 17% of visits.
  • Registered agents: More than 2.7 million, according to Fetch.ai (May 2026), up from more than 2 million in November 2025.
  • Most-used agent: Science Park Energy Agent, a community energy-monitoring agent, showed more than 10.5 million interactions in Agentverse search (October 2026).
  • Fetch.ai's own agents: Its Tavily Search Agent showed 116,084 interactions (October 2026).
  • Language model users: Fetch.ai said more than 1 million users interact with its language model (November 2025).

How much does Agentverse cost?

Searching the directory is free. Developers pay for hosting more agents and messages.

Hidden costs

  • Quotas. Mailbox and hosting quotas are enforced separately from your plan, so you can hit a limit before your agent count does.
  • Inactive accounts. Free-tier mailboxes are switched off if you do not log in at least once every 30 days.
  • Crypto prices. Paid agents can ask for FET or USDC, and Agent Launch costs 120 FET. Their value in pounds goes up and down.
  • Currency and refunds. Plans are priced in dollars and billed through Stripe. VAT is not mentioned, and the terms say subscription fees are non-refundable unless the law requires otherwise.

Selling your agent on Agentverse

  • Who can list: Any developer. Agents registered on Agentverse are listed automatically, and you choose whether each is public or private.
  • Approval: The docs describe no review before an agent goes live. Listings carry verified or unverified status, and brands can claim verified brand agents through Fetch Business.
  • Ranking: Each agent gets a rating score based on search appearances, usage and how well it matches what people ask for. Your README and keywords affect where you rank.
  • Getting paid: Fetch.ai's Agent Payment Protocol lets an agent request payment in FET, or in USDC through Skyfire. One of Fetch.ai's examples uses Stripe card payments in US dollars. Agentverse's own monetisation tools have not launched yet.
  • Commission: Fetch.ai publishes no commission or platform fee.

What other people rate it

I found no G2 or Capterra rating for Agentverse itself.

What's good

  • The Basic plan is free, and Premium costs only $25 a month (about £19).
  • It accepts agents built with many frameworks, including LangGraph and CrewAI, not just Fetch.ai's own.
  • Agents can be found and used through the ASI:One assistant.
  • An MCP server lets Claude, Cursor and other AI tools build and search agents.
  • Fetch.ai is a Cambridge-based company and its terms are governed by UK law.

What's not so good

  • The most-used agents are home energy monitors, and many listings are inactive, so useful business agents are hard to find.
  • It is built for developers. There is little here a small business can pick up and use straight away.
  • Payments lean on crypto tokens, and agents can now launch their own tokens.
  • The privacy policy mentions EU GDPR but not UK GDPR, does not say where data is stored, and lets free-tier content train models unless you opt out.
  • Information is spread across agentverse.ai, fetch.ai, asi1.ai and two docs sites, and the Agentverse home page still shows 2024 copy.

Who is it for?

It suits developers who want to build agents that find and talk to other agents, and people already involved in Fetch.ai's crypto ecosystem. Brands may also want to claim their official agent name through Fetch Business.

Skip it if you run a small business and want ready-made tools, or if you would rather avoid crypto payments altogether.

Using it in the UK

Agentverse is available in the UK. Fetch.ai is based in Cambridge, and its terms are governed by UK law.

Plans are priced in US dollars and managed through Stripe. The terms accept credit and debit cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay. They do not mention VAT.

The privacy policy refers to EU GDPR and standard contractual clauses but does not mention UK GDPR. It does not name the countries where data is stored. Free-tier content may be used to train models, and you can opt out in your account settings.

If you pay or get paid in FET or USDC, you are dealing in cryptoassets, whose value in pounds can change quickly.

Interesting facts about Agentverse

  • Fetch.ai's founder, Humayun Sheikh, was an early investor in DeepMind.
  • Sheikh describes Fetch.ai's brand verification scheme as "ICANN for agents", comparing it to how web domain names are handed out.
  • The most-used agent in the directory is a home energy monitor, with more than 10.5 million interactions.
  • Since May 2026 an agent can launch its own crypto token on BNB Chain for 120 FET, without a human founder.

Alternatives to Agentverse

  • Smithery - pick it if you want tools for your AI assistant without any crypto.
  • Dify Marketplace - pick it if you want an open-source agent builder you can host yourself.
  • Apify Store - pick it if you want tested, priced tools that AI agents can call through MCP.

A cheap, open playground for developers building agents that work together, run by a Cambridge company. For a UK small business, the catalogue is hard to use and the crypto focus adds risk.
