How to actually do it

How much does it cost to run an AI agent on a GTM stack?

The short answer

This directory does not track prices, credits or quotas, so it cannot give you a number and will not pretend to. What it can tell you is which doors open without a sales call: 57 entries are free to start, 101 are paid self serve, and 45 need a contract.

What is actually being tracked here

Where the cost actually lands

Three places, and the model is usually the smallest of them.

  1. Metered data calls. Enrichment, verification and intent are priced per lookup, and an agent generates lookups at a rate no human workflow ever did. This is where budgets go.
  2. Seats and contracts. The 45 enterprise gated entries here carry a floor that has nothing to do with usage.
  3. Model tokens. Real, and usually the line item people worry about first and should worry about third.

The cheapest honest way to find out

Build the smallest end to end chain on free tiers, run a hundred records through it, and count. 42 products here are both free to start and have an MCP server, which is enough to build a research and contact chain without spending anything. The free tier list is here.

The control that saves you

Cap the tool call, not the prompt. A hard limit on calls per run, enforced in your client or your wrapper, is the difference between an experiment and an invoice. An agent that retries a failed lookup against three vendors is a sensible design and an extremely efficient way to spend a quarter's credits in an evening.

Sources

Every number on this page is generated from directory.json at build time and carries the date it was baked: 2026-08-25. Nothing is typed by hand, nothing is rounded, and nothing is estimated. The underlying data is published in full. Where the honest answer is a zero, the zero is printed.
