Agent readiness tools side by side: compare what each checks

Choose two to five entries from our tools list and read their own descriptions next to each other.

Reviewed September 2026

The short of it

Pick two to five of the twelve scanners and services on tools that check and see their fields side by side: who runs each, what it checks, what you get, the limits it states and its published price. Cloudflare's free public scanner is also available in the picker. We do not score, rank or pick a winner. ora.ai's partners, Vercel and is-agentic.com, are not in this view: is-agentic.com runs ora.ai scans, so it is not an alternative to ora.ai. They are listed on tools that check.

What it checksFour layers: Discovery (can an agent find and recommend you), Access (can it access your data and understand you), Usability (can it operate, authenticate, integrate) and Payments (can it pay you). Scan runs real agents against a site; Journey shows one agent's path on a page; a separate WebMCP audit reviews WebMCP tools in a real browser.How a brand appears in AI answers (prompt monitoring and citations), which AI bots visit the site (Agent Traffic), site audits that diagnose pages AI agents cannot retrieve or interpret (Site Optimization), and Agent Pages, which detects AI visits and serves AI-optimized versions of pages at the edge. For brands and agencies.
What you getA grade from A+ (95–100, Leading) to F (0–27, Unusable), a report page per domain, and the same scan from a command-line tool (ax) and an MCP server.A free AI visibility audit (results in about 30 seconds, no credit card); dashboards, recommendations and page optimizations on paid plans.
Limits it statesPublic URLs only; cannot scan private or internal sites or login-gated content.The pages read do not describe running an agent through a task such as a booking or checkout, WebMCP, or agent payments. Agent Pages is listed on the Enterprise plan only.
PriceNot stated. The home page offers a waitlist; ora.ai's llms.txt says reads are open and need no key.Core $250 a month with a 7-day free trial; Enterprise custom.

How should I read this table?

Every cell comes from the tool's own public pages, read on the dates shown with their sources (September 2026 where no date is shown), and is repeated word for word from tools that check. Where a page does not say something, the cell says so. The area row is our mapping of each description to the five self-check areas, to help you see gaps; it does not say how well a tool does anything.

Why is there no winner?

The tools answer different questions. A scanner that reads your public pages, a service that controls which crawlers get in and a fraud tool for agent purchases are not substitutes for each other. We describe; you choose by the question you need answered.

Common questions

Which tool is best?
Pick by the question: page checks, a test with a real agent, crawler control or fraud rules for agent purchases.
Why are ora.ai and Scrunch selected first?
They show the difference between agent experience and AI answer visibility. Cloudflare's free public scanner remains available, along with the other entries.
Can a scanner see pages behind a login?
Not on the pages we read. ora.ai states that it scans public URLs only and cannot scan login-gated content. The other scanners' pages do not state their limits.
What do these tools cost?
Scrunch and 514.ax publish plan prices, while TollBit offers publishers a free platform without a public price list. Cloudflare states that AI Crawl Control is available on all plans and that Markdown for Agents is included at no cost on eligible paid plans. See the entries for prices and their cited sources.
