Tools (8)

get_pricing
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.
get_hidden_costs
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.
get_negotiation_tips
Sourced negotiation tactics for a product with success-likelihood (how to get a discount).
get_price_history
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.
compare_software
Side-by-side pricing comparison of 2–4 products (starting price, enterprise tier, median annual cost, free tier, ratings).
discover_software
Find software products by criteria (category, max price, free tier). Returns matching slugs to look up.
calculate_tco
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.
estimate_llm_cost
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.

How we measure →
What this means. This server responded to the MCP handshake and listed its tools without authentication. The schema fingerprint lets us flag if tool signatures silently change (schema drift) between checks.
