What it cannot do

The limits that matter when you rely on an answer

  • Comparisons are curated. compare_providers answers only for pairs already published; an uncurated pair returns "not published yet", not a comparison assembled on the spot. list_comparisons shows which exist.
  • Coverage is a list, not the market. A provider that is absent from a category has not been added, which says nothing about its quality. send_feedback or a coverage request is how to ask.
  • A blank is not a "no". See how the data is sourced.
  • Estimates are arithmetic, not quotes. estimate_monthly_cost covers web analytics, email and auth. It does not know taxes, annual discounts or negotiated rates; it does not extrapolate past the highest band a vendor prints; it never converts currencies; and a provider with no readable per-volume price is named, not guessed at. Where a vendor's page leaves a billing rule open (whole blocks or prorated), the answer is a range.
  • The planner's floor is a floor. plan_infrastructure sums documented entry points. A layer whose pricing is usage-based with no flat minimum is listed as excluded, never counted as free, and most layers are ties unless you give it your project's context.
  • A rank is usually an ordering. Always report the interval with the iScore.
  • Prices move. Each figure carries the date it was read; the changelog records the ones that moved.
  • Not independent benchmarks. Nothing here measures performance, uptime or support quality. It records what each provider documents.
  • Live DNS is a view from public resolvers. It cannot see records only visible inside your network, and caches can lag a change by up to the record's TTL.
  • Not endorsed by anyone. The server is not endorsed by Anthropic, OpenAI, Cursor or any directory it may be listed in; a listing is not an audit.
