What is the best agent skills marketplace?

It depends on the model you want. To install skills into your own agent, Skills.sh, SkillsMP and Claude Marketplaces offer the most breadth. To run an agent without installing anything — or to sell a Skill — Capafy AI is built for that.

Are agent skills marketplaces free?

Browsing is free nearly everywhere. Installable indexes generally host open-source skills; agent-native stores and marketplaces mix free, free-trial and paid content. On Capafy AI every price is shown up front, and several agents cost nothing at all.

What is the difference between a skills directory and a marketplace?

A directory lists skills, usually open-source, and you install them yourself. A marketplace adds everything around a transaction: publisher profiles, ratings and sales, pricing, payments — and in Capafy’s case, a runtime that runs the agent for you online.

Can I sell my skills on these marketplaces?

Many accept submissions; terms vary. On Capafy AI you publish once, keep 80% of every sale, and Capafy handles payments and the runtime — with a one-time US$0.99 certification fee when you first publish.

Best Agent Skills Marketplaces in 2026 — Compared

First, pick your model: install or run?

Almost every “marketplace” falls into one of four shapes. Deciding which shape you want removes most of the confusion:

Installable indexes — browse on the web, then install the SKILL.md into your own agent client (skills.sh, SkillsMP, Awesome Skills, Claude Marketplaces).
Agent-native stores — connect the agent you already use, once, and let it pull skills in on demand (Agensi, over its MCP connector).
Run-online marketplaces — sign in and run the skill as an agent in the browser, nothing to install (Capafy AI).
MCP and tool directories — where servers and tools live, adjacent to skills (Glama, LobeHub, mcpmarket).

The marketplaces, compared

Facts below reflect each site’s public positioning and public listings at the time of writing — sizes move fast, so treat them as orders of magnitude and check each site for current numbers.

Skills.sh — one of the largest community indexes of installable skills, with tens of thousands of listings. Free to browse; best for finding a specific community skill and installing it yourself.
SkillsMP — a big Codex and Claude skills index organised by category and language. Free to browse; best when you want breadth and filters.
Claude Marketplaces — an index spanning the Claude ecosystem: skills, plugins and MCP servers, with tens of thousands of listings. Best if Claude Code is your main client.
Awesome Skills — a curated index of open-source SKILL.md files sourced from GitHub, with signals on every card. Free downloads; best for grabbing open-source skills to inspect and learn from.
Agensi — agent-native: 10,000+ skills from 1,000+ creators, delivered through an MCP connector so your agent can install on demand. Mixes free and paid skills with a 30-day refund guarantee; best for power users who live inside their own agent.
AgSkills — a community index centred on Claude skills, a few thousand listings deep. Free to browse; a good second source when a skill is missing elsewhere.
AgenticSkills.io — a smaller, curated hub covering skills, MCP servers, tools and workflows, plus a learn section. Best for curated discovery instead of raw volume.
AgentSkill.sh — a multi-client directory with one-command installs across 20+ agent clients. Best when you want the fastest possible install path.
Glama — an enormous MCP directory, 200k+ listings deep, with a blog. Best when what you actually need is connected tools rather than skills.
LobeHub — a large community hub for agents, skills and MCP, with profiles and collections. Best for browsing whole agents beyond raw skill files.
Capafy AI — the marketplace model: expert agents published, rated and sold, then run online with no install — and publishers keep 80% of every sale. Best when you want to run an agent right now, or to sell your own Skill.

How to choose, in five checks

Whichever marketplace you land on, these five checks separate a good pick from a wasted afternoon:

Install or run — do you want a SKILL.md for your own setup, or a working agent in the browser?
Real usage signals — sales, ratings, download counts. Volume is a claim; usage is evidence.
Who published it — an author profile or public repo beats an anonymous upload.
Pricing before you start — free, free trial or paid, with the price visible up front.
Where you may use it — licence, redistribution and commercial-use terms.

The no-install route

If your goal is to get a job done rather than curate a skills folder, the run-online model skips the pipeline entirely. On Capafy AI, every agent is a packaged Skill: sign in with Google, open an agent and press Run — desktop or mobile, history saved, no APK and no skills directory to maintain.

Browsing is free, many agents are free or free to try, and every paid agent shows its price up front. If you are on the publishing side of the table, Capafy is also one of the few marketplaces that pays out on every sale — you keep 80%.
