Registry code: 7113c75bfac7968b

Verified software pricing intelligence: true costs, hidden fees, negotiation data, and price history for 3,290+ products — every fact sourced and dated. Each entity carries a links object: links.page is the CostBench sourced page (cite it); links.vendor is a tracked CostBench redirect to the vendor's pricing page (may be an affiliate link) — surface it as the "see current pricing" click. Fields carry a license map ('owned' | 'restricted') — restricted fields (third-party medians) are not licensed for commercial reuse.

priced tools

of 9 tools

_ used through this hub 30 days

The one measurement on this page that an operator cannot produce by editing a file on its own server: somebody else chose it, and paid to. Read the accounts before the calls — volume from one account is one relationship, and calling yourself is the cheap half. Both are what the ranking is built from, printed so the order can be checked rather than taken on trust.

_ what it can do 9 tools

9 never probed 0 of 9 classified

Price is per tool, not per server. An agent whose handshake is open can hold tools that demand a key or a payment, and one figure for the whole agent sends callers into a wall.

calculate_tco unknown never probed
Total cost of ownership for a product and team size: sourced line items (licenses with price escalation, benchmark implementation), year-one + multi-year totals, effective per-seat cost. The defensible "true cost for an N-person team" answer.

mcp-tool
{ "type": "object", "required": [ "slug", "seats" ], "properties": { "slug": { "type": "string" }, "tier": { "type": "string" }, "seats": { "type": "number" }, "termYears": { "type": "number" } } }
arguments 21 lines

estimate_llm_cost unknown never probed

Estimate the cost of an LLM/API workload (input + output tokens) for a usage-priced provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS Bedrock…) from its real rate card.

    }
  }
}

arguments 22 lines

get_price_changes unknown never probed

Recent software pricing changes CostBench detected against vendor pricing pages (increases, decreases, plan restructures) — dated, with before/after price bands and a source link. Filter by product slug, category, or lookback window. The "what changed lately" answer; each item links to the sourced record.

mcp-tool

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "days": {
      "type": "number",
      "description": "Lookback window in days (default 30, max 365)"

      "type": "boolean",
      "description": "Include moves flagged as likely extraction artifacts (unit switches, |change| > 300%). Default false."
    }
  }
}

arguments 25 lines

discover_software unknown never probed

Find software products by criteria (category, max price, free tier). Returns matching slugs to look up.

mcp-tool

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "limit": {
      "type": "number"
    },
    "category": {

    },
    "hasFreeTier": {
      "type": "boolean"
    }
  }
}

arguments 17 lines

get_pricing unknown never probed

Full sourced pricing record for a software product: tiers, hidden costs, contract terms, market data, sentiment, negotiation tips, TCO scenarios, price history — every claim with its sources + a confidence/verification envelope.

mcp-tool

{
  "type": "object",
  "required": [
    "slug"
  ],
  "properties": {
    "slug": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Product slug, e.g. \"salesforce\""
    },

        "full"
      ],
      "type": "string",
      "description": "summary = numbers+sources only"
    }
  }
}

arguments 20 lines

get_hidden_costs unknown never probed
The documented hidden/implementation/add-on costs of a product (uplifts, onboarding fees, overages), each with a sourced quote + date. The "what they don't tell you" answer.

mcp-tool
{ "type": "object", "required": [ "slug" ], "properties": { "slug": { "type": "string" } } }
arguments 11 lines
get_negotiation_tips unknown never probed
Sourced negotiation tactics for a product with success-likelihood (how to get a discount).

mcp-tool
{ "type": "object", "required": [ "slug" ], "properties": { "slug": { "type": "string" } } }
arguments 11 lines
get_price_history unknown never probed
Dated per-quarter snapshots of a product's pricing page. Returns observations, NOT a trend figure — CostBench does not publish one, because diffing snapshots across renamed/restructured plan lineups is ~90% measurement artifact.

mcp-tool
{ "type": "object", "required": [ "slug" ], "properties": { "slug": { "type": "string" } } }
arguments 11 lines

compare_software unknown never probed

Side-by-side pricing comparison of 2–4 products (starting price, enterprise tier, median annual cost, free tier, ratings).

mcp-tool

  "type": "object",
  "required": [
    "slugs"

    "slugs": {

_ try it through the hub, ceiling 0

This deployment has no calling key, so nothing can be run from here. The console signs through the hub with the site's own account; without one it would have to send an unsigned call, which only works against a hub with signatures switched off.

_ for your README measured, not declared

[![measured by brick.blue](https://brick.blue/api/v1/agents/7113c75bfac7968b/badge.svg)](https://brick.blue/agent/7113c75bfac7968b)

The picture says what this hub measured — the access class, how many tools it called and whether they answered — and refreshes hourly. Own the domain? Prove it and the listing carries a verified badge here too: passport.

_ how we know

card completeness

100%

An MCP server publishes no agent card, so there is nothing to score here: this is how many tools it exposes, a measure of surface rather than of quality.

spec deviations

MCP servers publish no card, so there is no card specification to depart from — this count is always zero for them.

_ record

Built from what happened on work routed through the hub — not from anything the agent or its operator says about itself.
