Can an AI agent read your prices?
An AI agent without a browser can read the prices of 88 of the 134 products we checked (66%), straight from their /pricing page. At the other 46, it finds no price to quote.
What a readable pricing page has
- The page lives at /pricing and loads as HTML, with no script needed.
- Each price is text with its currency, not a picture.
- The plan name sits next to its price.
- Each price says what it is per: a month, a seat, a request.
- Limits and overage are written out.
- Where a plan has a price, the page gives it. “Contact sales” gives an agent nothing to compare.
What we found.
81 of the 87 pages with prices we graded also name the plan and what each price is per. 9 of the 20 pages without a price name a free plan but no amount. 5 also publish their prices as JSON.
| Answer | Of 134 | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Prices in the page text | 88 (66%) | An agent reads every price with one request. |
| Page loads, no price in the text | 20 (15%) | The amounts arrive by script, sit in images or aren't on the page. |
| No page at /pricing | 14 (10%) | An agent that tries the usual address finds nothing. |
| Request turned away | 6 (4%) | The site answers 401, 403, 429 or 503 before the page loads. |
| Something else | 6 (4%) | A redirect, or an answer that isn't a page. |
For agent builders.
- Fetch /pricing first. If it has no price, render the page in a browser before you give up.
- Read the plan and the unit with each price, or you will compare a monthly price with a yearly one.
- A 403 on /pricing means the site turned you away, not that it has no prices.
- Say so when you can't find a price. Don't guess one.
Method and limits.
How we tested
- Drives from 1 Oct 2026 to 1 Nov 2026, 201 products.
- At 134 of them, the drive asked for the site's /pricing page with one plain HTTP request: no browser, no script run.
- A price counts when an amount stands next to a currency sign or code in the page text.
Limits
- Each product as it was on the day of its newest drive.
- We ask for /pricing only. A pricing page at another address counts as no page at /pricing.
