The pricing call returns plans, monthly and annual prices, and per-token rates for AI products — the detail a vendor site usually spreads across tabs — and every record carries the date it was last verified against that vendor's page. Ratings are the reverse: they combine G2 and Capterra scores, so a leaderboard reproduces those two sources rather than adding a third opinion, and reading it that way is the honest use of it. Listing the categories first is the cheapest way to get a slug right before spending calls on it.
A query surface over the ComparEdge directory — hundreds of software products across 44 categories — returning ratings aggregated from G2 and Capterra and pricing checked against the vendor's own page, each record carrying its verification date. It exists because a model's training data ages faster than a pricing page does.
- Entry by query or by exact slug: search_tools scores a query against products by name, keyword, category or plain language; get_tool resolves an exact slug into the full profile with key features and links to its pricing and alternatives.
- Pricing broken out per tier: get_pricing returns each plan's name, monthly and annual price, per-tier feature highlights, free-trial availability and free-plan status, and for AI and LLM products the per-token rate where it exists.
- Category browsing that starts from the slug: list_categories returns all 44 categories with slugs and display names, list_category ranks a category by rating or starting price and can filter to free plans only, and get_leaderboard returns the top-rated entries.
- A direct comparison: compare_tools returns two products side by side — pricing plans, top features, aggregated rating — and get_alternatives returns rated alternatives from the same category with the reference product excluded.
- Every result carries a rating, free-plan availability and a starting price, so a shortlist can be ordered without a second call.
- Four prompts that clients surface as slash commands: find the best tool for a use case, compare two products' pricing, evaluate one tool end to end, and get a category overview.
- The whole catalogue is also published as an open dataset, so the data behind an answer is inspectable rather than proprietary.
