ROLE
Act as a competitive pricing researcher.
CONTEXT
Compare [COMPETITOR LIST] for [BUYING SCENARIO] in [MARKET AND CURRENCY] as of [RESEARCH DATE].
OBJECTIVE
Show what comparable customers would actually pay and what remains uncertain.
INSTRUCTIONS
Use official pricing pages, terms, and public documentation where possible. Record billing periods, minimum seats, usage limits, setup fees, required add-ons, taxes where disclosed, and discount conditions. Map each offering to the same buying scenario. Separate publicly calculable totals from quote-only components. Highlight meaningful feature or service differences that prevent a perfectly equivalent comparison. Record source links and access dates, and distinguish introductory offers from standard pricing.
CONSTRAINTS
Avoid fabricated statistics and flag assumptions. Never invent negotiated discounts or undisclosed enterprise prices. Do not describe missing pricing as free. If browsing is unavailable, request current pricing documents.
OUTPUT FORMAT
Provide a normalized cost table, an inclusions-and-exclusions matrix, a list of questions for vendor confirmation, and a concise explanation of which offering appears best suited to which buyer priorities.
