frontdesk-data

Independent, sourced data on what things cost and how they actually perform. 4,764 products across 359 hardware categories, plus software pricing across 267 categories — every figure traced to its source (the vendor's own page URL and the date we captured it). Quote-only tiers and unknown specs are recorded as null rather than guessed. Nothing is invented.

Current version: 2026-06-12.

Query it live from an AI assistant (MCP)

This dataset is served by a live Model Context Protocol server. No API key, no account, read-only. Every record an assistant receives carries its source URL and capture date, so any figure it repeats can be cited.

Endpoint: https://mcp.frontdeskreview.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP)

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http front-desk-review https://mcp.frontdeskreview.com/mcp

Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf — add to the client's MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "front-desk-review": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://mcp.frontdeskreview.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot agent) — .vscode/mcp.json uses a top-level servers key:

{
  "servers": {
    "front-desk-review": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.frontdeskreview.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity can add it from their own connector settings — paste the endpoint and leave authentication set to None. Setup for every client: https://frontdeskreview.com/connect/

Tools

All 19 are read-only and annotated as such, so a client can call them without prompting on every request.

ToolWhat it answers
list_sectionsEvery software/SaaS pricing theme covered, with slug, label and vendor count.
search_vendorsFree-text search across a theme's vendors — names, domains, integrations, plan notes, capabilities.
compareNamed vendors side by side within a theme, full sourced records.
get_normalized_pricingEffective monthly cost at a chosen volume, with flat, per-minute and per-call billing reduced to one comparable number.
get_benchmarkOne vendor's card: entry price, cost at reference volumes, compliance, free tier, integration breadth.
find_best“Cheapest X with a free tier / HIPAA / SOC 2 / GDPR” — ranked, and never on an unverified claim.
list_coverageWhat the index covers, how many vendors, over what date range — and what it does not cover.
whats_changedRecent price changes, each dated and corroborated by two sources.
get_price_historyThe full dated price series for one product or vendor, plus archived points read off Internet Archive snapshots.
price_moversWhat moved most recently across a category or the whole index.
volatility_for_entityHow much one product's price actually moves — withheld rather than guessed when the record is too thin.
most_volatile_in_categoryThe least stable prices in a category, ranked.
list_product_categoriesEvery hardware category, with product counts, comparable spec keys and brands.
search_productsFree-text search inside a hardware category across names, brands and spec values.
compare_productsNamed products lined up on the spec keys that category actually compares on.
find_products“Best under $N” or “most <spec>” — filter and rank by price, release date or any spec.
get_independent_test_coverageHow many independent labs measured a product, and what they measured — a count of evidence, never a rating.
list_cost_decodersWhich categories have a cost decoder explaining what actually drives the bill.
get_cost_decoderThe drivers behind a category's real cost, so a quoted price can be read properly.

Coverage

  • Hardware — 359 categories, 4,764 products with specs, prices and independent-test coverage.
  • Software — 267 categories of SMB/SaaS pricing, from AI receptionists and call tracking to CRM, VPNs and web hosting.
  • Provenance — 22,765 source citations; 88% of products carry a published price.

Files

  • <category>.json — full records, each figure with provenance (source URL + accessed date)
  • <category>.csv — one flat row per plan/product, with source columns
  • catalog.json — schema.org DataCatalog index
  • croissant.json — ML Commons Croissant 1.1 descriptor (Google Dataset Search / Hugging Face)
  • datapackage.json — Frictionless Data Package (Table Schema per CSV)
  • CITATION.cff — machine-readable citation
  • LICENSE — CC BY 4.0

Methodology

Published prices are normalized to a common monthly basis; both the raw published figure and the normalized one are kept. Each row carries its own accessedAt date and is re-checked on a rolling basis. Independent-test coverage counts how many labs measured a product — a count of evidence, never a rating.
