Answer first
The explorer answers two different decisions. Market view helps a buyer identify what a provider sells and what makes the bill move. Role view compares a buyer-supplied human cost with Fidelic’s named day, week, and month rates. Neither view declares a universal winner.
Inclusion rule
A company enters the dataset when it is a direct AI-employee competitor, an adjacent work substitute that materially shapes buyer expectations, or a benchmark with enough distribution or category authority to shape the market. Degraded and early products remain visible because disappearance and non-pricing are market evidence.
Field definitions
- Cohort
- Direct means the company markets an AI employee, teammate, worker, or equivalent role. Adjacent means the product can substitute for part of that job but is sold primarily as automation or a role-specific service. Benchmark means a large category or distribution reference.
- Public entry signal
- The lowest clear public number or the provider’s own “free,” “custom,” “not public,” or “unavailable” state. The original billing unit remains attached. Promotional and annual-equivalent figures stay labeled.
- Pricing shape
- A comparison label for who operates the work and what makes the bill move: managed worker, bundle, metered software, enterprise contract, marketplace, or unavailable.
- Trial or free offer
- A dated observation from the public pricing surface. Money-back periods, trials, one-time credits, and permanent free offers are not treated as interchangeable.
- Evidence quality
- High means a direct current public source supported the entry signal. Medium means the commercial shape was clear but exact current numbers were incomplete. Low means pricing was absent, degraded, or needed re-verification.
- Discovery estimate
- A directional third-party estimate used to compare relative organic visibility. It is not a provider’s analytics. Product-specific estimates are withheld when a parent domain would swamp the result.
What the data cannot prove
Public pricing does not reveal the buyer’s final contract, service quality, support load, model cost, retention, private traffic, or realized business value. Search estimates are directional. A cheap entry point may be a narrow allowance; a custom contract may be economical at volume. Re-check the linked provider page before any purchase or publication.
Conflict and correction policy
A provider’s current first-party page outranks cached snippets, third-party roundups, and this artifact. When a first-party page conflicts with the snapshot, the first-party page is current and the snapshot is historical. Material corrections should update the visible row, JSON file, date, and note together.
Publisher disclosure
FidelicAI publishes this artifact and sells Fidelic agents. No company paid for inclusion, and links are not affiliate links. Fidelic’s day, week, and month rates are included because the artifact is also a decision aid for its own buyers. Fidelic is given a clear explanation and first-row placement, while its figures use the same dated source and field rules as the rest of the table.
