Answer the questions that slow buying down
Each one is a real request, the answer your agent gets back, and what it saves you.
Find the right tool
You ask
“Recommend a CRM for a 6-person agency under $40 a seat that syncs with Gmail.”
Your agent gets a ranked shortlist: why each pick fits the need, its starting price with the date we read it, and the trade-offs.
Saves you an afternoon of review sites and pricing tabs.
Compare two tools
You ask
“Notion or Coda for a 10-person team?”
Your agent gets both side by side on starting price, free plan and trial, from the plans we read on each vendor's page.
Saves you opening two pricing pages and matching plan names by hand.
Real prices and plans
You ask
“What does Figma cost, and what changed lately?”
Your agent gets every plan with its price, unit and billing term, the vendor page it was read on, the date, and the changes we caught.
Saves you quoting an old price. On their own, current models named the right price 20% of the time.
Read the studyAlternatives to X
You ask
“What can replace Zapier?”
Your agent gets direct competitors that do the same job, each with its price and a one-line pitch.
Saves you sifting lists padded with whatever shares a category tag.
What a team really pays
You ask
“What does a CRM cost a team of 20?”
Your agent gets 17 cost benchmarks covering 110 tools: the price for a team of 5, 20 and 50, one method for all, confirmed on vendor pages.
Saves you building the spreadsheet yourself.
See the benchmarksPlain URLs, no install
You ask
“toolradar.com/tools/notion/pricing.md”
Your agent gets the same data as markdown or JSON for any agent that can fetch a page: prices, search, comparisons, what's new.
Saves you installing anything at all.
All the URLsWhy it holds
Models forget. Vendor pages don’t.
20%
On their own, GPT-5.5, Claude Sonnet 5 and Gemini 3.7 Flash named the right price for 20% of 70 SaaS tools. When they named a number, 42% were wrong. Our test, September 1, 2026.
Read the study6,100+
Prices re-read on the vendor’s own page in the last 30 days, out of 9,100+ dated prices. Every answer carries the page and the date, and a price we could not confirm recently says so. Counted Nov 7, 2026.

Frequently asked questions
What does my agent get from Toolradar?
Structured data on 12,100+ software tools: plans and prices read on each vendor's own page with the source and the date, direct alternatives, side-by-side comparisons, cost benchmarks by team size and the latest launches posted by the makers. It comes through an MCP server (11 public tools), a REST API, and plain JSON or markdown URLs.
Which assistants work with it?
Any client that adds a remote MCP server by URL: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, Cline, Grok and more. Claude Desktop can also run it locally with npx toolradar-mcp. It is listed on the official MCP registry.
Do I need a key?
No. Without a key you get 500 calls a day per IP, on the hosted URL and through npx alike. A free key raises it to 10,000 a day per person: create one in your dashboard, or let an agent provision one with no signup by POSTing to /api/v1/keys. No card, ever.
How fresh are the prices?
Every price carries the page it was read on and the date. As of Nov 7, 2026, 9,100+ tools have dated prices and 6,100+ of them were re-read on the vendor's own page in the last 30 days. A price we could not confirm recently says so, and verify_price reads the page on demand.
How much does an LLM get wrong on its own?
We re-ran the test on September 1, 2026 with GPT-5.5, Claude Sonnet 5 and Gemini 3.7 Flash on the cheapest paid plan of 70 well-known SaaS tools, using prices we had checked the same week. They named the correct price 20% of the time. When they did name a number, 42% of those numbers were wrong. See /reports/ai-pricing-knowledge-gap-2026.
Can I use it without MCP?
Yes. Every answer is also a URL: /tools/notion/pricing.json or .md (any tool's slug in place of notion), /search.json, /compare.json, /updates.json, and /openapi.json for the REST API at toolradar.com/api/v1.
How does my tool get recommended by AI agents?
List it for free at toolradar.com/vendors and keep its plans and prices right, from your dashboard or from Claude and ChatGPT. Agents that ask Toolradar about your category then get your verified data. Nothing paid changes how tools are ranked in agent answers.
Can my agent post our launches?
Yes. Every verified company can submit a launch, feature update or time-limited deal from its dashboard or a connected assistant. Your assistant shows you a preview first. After you confirm, the post enters our source checks and review before it can appear on your product page, in the updates feed and in Toolradar lookups.
Can I post without an AI assistant?
Yes. Use the form at toolradar.com/company/posts. You need a verified company and a listing you own. Add a title, a short summary and a source page, preview your post, then submit it for review. Posting is free.
Does a post improve my ranking or guarantee AI recommendations?
No. A post adds dated product news to your listing, the updates feed and relevant Toolradar lookup responses. It never changes rankings, scores or editorial verdicts, and it does not guarantee an AI citation or recommendation.
I already connected Toolradar. How do I get the publishing actions?
Use the hosted connection at https://toolradar.com/mcp and sign in with your verified company. Refresh the tools or reconnect if the posting actions do not appear. The public catalogue plugin and optional npm wrapper provide catalogue tools; company actions use the hosted company connection.
Stop letting agents guess. Give them Toolradar.
