Why Toolradar

LLMs forget. Toolradar remembers.

AI models have a knowledge cutoff — typically 1-2 years behind. They recommend defunct tools and quote outdated prices. Toolradar fills that gap with live, structured data.

Pricing verified weekly

Plans change constantly. We verify pricing pages every week so your agent never quotes a price from 2023.

G2 & Capterra ratings

Aggregated review scores from G2, Capterra, Trustpilot, App Store. Real user sentiment, not LLM-generated summaries.

Funding & acquisitions

Latest fundraising rounds, amounts, investors, and acquisitions — tracked via Signalbase. Know which tools are growing and which got acquired.

Structured data

TL;DRs, pros, cons, feature lists, editorial scores — all as JSON. Ready for agent consumption, no parsing needed.

New tools daily

We track Product Hunt, Hacker News, Techpresso, and community submissions. Your agent knows about tools that launched this week.

Real alternatives

AI-identified competitors — not just "same category" matches. Figma's alternatives are Sketch and Adobe XD, not Canva.

Bonus

/recommend-tool skill

A ready-made Claude Code skill that turns Toolradar into a structured recommendation engine. It searches, compares the top 3, and gives a formatted top pick + runner-up + budget pick.

# Install the skill
claude skill add --url https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Nadeus/toolradar-mcp/main/skill-recommend-tool.md

# Then use it
/recommend-tool "best free CRM for a 5-person startup"

Requires the Toolradar MCP server to be connected. The skill tells Claude how to use the tools for optimal recommendations.

Frequently asked questions

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to external data sources and tools. It's supported by Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and a growing number of AI clients.

Which AI assistants support this?

Any MCP-compatible client works. This includes Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and more. You can also use the REST API directly from any HTTP client or agent framework.

How fresh is the data?

Tool data is updated daily. Pricing is verified weekly. New tools are added daily from multiple sources including Product Hunt, Hacker News, and community submissions.

Can I use the REST API directly?

Yes. The MCP server is a thin client over our REST API. You can call the API directly from any language with HTTP support. All endpoints are at toolradar.com/api/v1/.

What are the rate limits?

The free tier includes 100 API calls per day across all tools. That's enough for most agent workflows. Need more? Contact us.
