Competitors for one x402 resource or capability, over our ~18,000-service harvest of the x402 directories plus our own unpaid 402 probes. Returns the price band (min/median/p90/n) over real listings only, price provenance per rival, whether it publishes a spec an agent can call unattended, observed 30-day demand and settlement network. Never probed reads observed:false, never a guess. Buy before pricing or listing a service, or choosing an endpoint. Charges nothing when nothing matches.
