Works with the agents you already use
What your agent can do
Each one is a real request, the answer your agent gets back, and what it saves you.
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.
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.
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 studyYou 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.
You ask
“What does a CRM cost a team of 20?”
Your agent gets 17 cost benchmarks covering 112 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 benchmarksYou 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 URLsYou ask
“Update our Toolradar listing with the new Pro plan.”
Your agent gets a read of your pricing page, the differences with your listing, and the change applied once you agree. Every edit is logged and can be undone.
Saves you waiting for a directory to notice your new price.
For vendorsYou ask
“Post our 2.0 launch on Toolradar.”
Your agent gets a short, dated post linked to your changelog, on your page and in the feed of what's new, after we read the page.
Saves you writing the same announcement for every directory.

For tool vendors · Early access
You just shipped? Tell Claude or ChatGPT “post our release on Toolradar”. It writes a short post from your changelog, shows it to you, and posts it when you agree. It shows on your Toolradar page, in the public feed of what’s new in software, and in what AI assistants get when they ask Toolradar about your product.
Facts only, with a link to the page on your own site that shows the change: we read it before anything goes live, and a person reads every post during early access. One post per product a week. Posts are free and never change a ranking.
Open to a first group of verified companies. Want in? Write to [email protected].

Beyond the API
Structured data on 12,000+ 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.
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.
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.
Every price carries the page it was read on and the date. As of Nov 6, 2026, 8,900+ 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.
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.
Yes. Every answer is also a URL: /tools/{slug}/pricing.json or .md, /search.json, /compare.json, /updates.json, and /openapi.json for the REST API at toolradar.com/api/v1.
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.
Yes, in early access for a first group of verified companies.
