All scored in Payments & Billing.
What Paddle does that Schematichq does not
Paddle passes structured api reference, and Schematichq fails it. That is the whole of the gap between the two scores, so if none of those matter to your agent the ranking above overstates the difference.
Why people look for an alternative
Schematichq fails structured api reference, openapi / spec quality, request examples provided, response examples provided, errors and status codes documented, limits / constraints documented, programmatic credential creation, structured, predictable output, machine-readable errors, retry behavior documented, idempotency support, rate-limit behavior predictable, agent compatibility verified. Each one is a place an unattended run stops, which is usually what sends someone looking in the first place.
Where Schematichq loses the points
| Pillar | Schematichq | What it measures |
|---|---|---|
| Discover | 100 | Can an agent find it at all: sitemap, robots, structured data. |
| Understand | 31 | Is there a spec, an llms.txt, a machine-readable description. |
| Adopt | 90 | Signup, keys, SDKs, and whether a human has to be involved. |
| Operate | 35 | Rate-limit headers, errors, status, and behaviour under load. |
Schematichq is weakest on understand at 31/100. Without a spec an agent has to guess at endpoints, and it guesses wrong. If that is the part your agent depends on, take the ranking above seriously; if it is not, Schematichq may still be the right pick.

- Document error responses as an enum in your OpenAPI.
- Let agents create API keys programmatically.
- Return X-RateLimit / Retry-After headers so agents pace themselves.
- Add request examples to your API reference.
- Add response examples to your API reference.
- Support an Idempotency-Key so retries are safe.
