No traffic proxy
Volance does not proxy or serve your traffic. Your server calls the API and applies its own policy — so if you wait for a result before responding, that call adds latency. Configure timeouts and a fallback that fit your application.
BOT & AGENT DETECTION, EXPLAINED
Every visit
leaves a signal.
Volance is an explainable bot and agent detection API. Add one script to your pages and one API call from your server, and each session gets a 0–100 human-likeness score, a human, agent, or bot label, and the signals behind the verdict. Your server decides whether to allow, flag, or block. Verified AI agents can pay for access, and Volance takes no cut.
Free to start · no credit card. One script on your page. One API call from your server.

WHY VOLANCE
Why choose
Volance?
Volance scores the session, explains the evidence, and leaves enforcement on your server.
Every verdict arrives with its evidence
Not a black box with an opinion. Each response names the checks that ran, what they read, and which ones moved the score — so a decision can be explained to your team, your customer, or an auditor.
Agents are not bots
Automation detection and access policy are different questions. Volance separates human, agent and bot, and lets verified agents through by policy — because the web is shared with automation that belongs.
We don't follow the visitor
On-site signals only. No cross-site identifiers, no fingerprinting unless you ask for it, hashed IP addresses, and raw scores purged after 30 days. Boundaries you can put in writing.

THE WEB HAS CHANGED
How is an AI agent
different from a bot?
Volance separates humans, agents, and bots, so legitimate automation can be allowed instead of blocked. A binary bot check misses the bigger picture. Volance gives you a human-likeness score, a classification, and the signals behind the verdict—so you can make a more informed call.
Integration overviewWhat does Volance collect from a visit?
Enable on-site behavioral and client signals where you need them. Collection is an explicit integration choice, not a hidden default.
What does a Volance score include?
Inspect the score, classification, and contributing evidence—not just a yes or no. See why a request deserves a closer look.
Who decides whether to block a visitor?
Keep enforcement on your server. Allow, flag, or block according to your application’s policy. Legitimate automation can belong.
A RESPONSE YOU CAN REASON ABOUT
What does the
Volance API return?
The API returns a score, a classification, a verdict, and the evidence behind it — a readable response for the application you’re already building. Keep secrets and enforcement on your server.

THE PRIVACY DESIGN

FOR THE AGENTIC WEB
How do AI agents
pay for content?
Verified agents pay inline with HTTP 402 and x402, then your edge serves the content. Volance decides who is asking and what they should pay, then hands your edge a ready 402. You set the price; in x402 mode your edge settles to your wallet through your facilitator. Preview — live production settlement is not generally available.
Know who is asking.
Human, agent, or bot — plus whether the agent's Web Bot Auth claim actually verifies.
Set the toll.
Rules by path and caller. Charge verified agents, allow humans free, block abuse.
Get paid directly.
Your edge enforces the 402; in x402 mode funds settle to your own wallet through your facilitator. Volance never holds them.
MAKE THE NEXT REQUEST MAKE SENSE.
Less guessing.
More understanding.
One script on your site.
One API call from your server.
Every signal behind the verdict, in your own portal.
