# Volance > Volance is an explainable behavioral bot- and agent-detection product by Oops Games LLC. It scores sessions on human-likeness, classifies them as human, agent, or bot, exposes the signals behind the verdict, and leaves enforcement to your own server. Volance collects on-site signals only, keeps no cross-site identifiers, hashes IP addresses, and purges raw scores after 30 days. It is not a CAPTCHA and does not prove a human was present. ## Volance: explainable bot and agent detection API URL: https://volance.com/ Volance is an explainable bot and agent detection API: a 0–100 human-likeness score, a human/agent/bot label, and the signals behind every verdict. ## Agent monetization — get paid for agent traffic | Volance URL: https://volance.com/agent-monetization Charge AI agents for content, data, and API calls they use.
