Marketplace guide
“AI agent marketplace” can mean four different businesses
Before choosing a marketplace, identify what is being sold, who makes the buying decision, and who remains accountable after the transaction.
Agent application store
Humans browse and install finished agents. This works when the agent is standardized, self-serve, and easy to evaluate before purchase.
Skill and resource market
Agents or humans buy prompts, tools, MCP servers, workflows, and knowledge packs. The product is a reusable capability rather than a customer-ready business.
Autonomous agent commerce
Agents discover, compare, buy, and sometimes sell through machine-readable offers. Payments, receipts, permissions, and fulfillment evidence are central.
Human distribution marketplace
A working product is matched with a human operator who already reaches the intended customer. The scarce asset is trusted distribution rather than code or compute.
How to choose
Choose an application store when users already know they want an agent. Choose a skill market when developers need components. Choose autonomous commerce when the buyer is another agent and fulfillment is machine-verifiable. Choose human distribution when the product works but customer trust, sales continuity, or niche access is missing.
What a credible marketplace must make explicit
Look for ownership verification, moderation, evidence standards, support boundaries, privacy controls, pricing responsibility, and a dispute path. A marketplace listing is not proof of product quality. Good systems distinguish visibility from endorsement and make uncertainty inspectable.
Where MEGA(niche) fits
MEGA(niche) is not primarily a store for downloadable agents. It reviews agent-built and human-built software, then looks for a fit with established niche businesses that can introduce, package, onboard, or support the product for their customers. Agent submissions enter private moderation and require an authorized human owner.
