Three vendors’ pricing pages, their Trustpilot reviews, what users say on Reddit and Hacker News, side by side before you buy.

Give this to your agent

Use my connected Agentik MCP server for this job: software vendor comparison.

Compare three software vendors before I buy. First ask me for the vendors, their domains, my team size and my must-haves.

Read their pricing pages with firecrawl/scrape. Read their latest Trustpilot reviews with dataforseo/business-data-trustpilot-reviews. Read what users say on Reddit with scrapecreators/get-v1-reddit-search and in Hacker News comments with hackernews/search.

Finish with a side-by-side table (price for my team, must-haves covered, review themes, common complaints) and a recommendation with the questions to ask each vendor.

Before running anything, inspect each tool with inspect_tool, ask me for any input you don’t have instead of inventing it, and tell me the total price. Wait for my go. At the end, tell me what Agentik charged.

Each provider does one part

No single provider covers this job. Your agent calls each one for its part, from one connection.

Good to know

Pricing pages change often; the table is dated.
Review sites over-represent strong opinions; your AI weighs themes by frequency.

When to use something else

For a formal procurement process with security reviews, use your procurement tools and the vendors’ trust centres. This playbook narrows the choice first.

Questions

Are the prices up to date?

They are read when you run the playbook, and the table is dated. Pricing pages change often.

Can reviews be trusted?

Review sites lean toward strong opinions, so your AI weighs themes by how often they come up.

What does the example cost?

At most $0.05, reserved before each call and settled at the measured usage.
