Step 3 of the buyer path. Side-by-side capability + plan-level prices for 2–6 providers (e.g. the Pro tier). Inputs are resolved to REAL providers — exact handle, then exact display name — and are NEVER silently swapped for a fuzzy match: unknown inputs come back in `unresolved_inputs` with `suggested_matches` and a ready-to-retry `corrected_call`, and if EXACTLY ONE input is real (the other was invented/mistyped) it does NOT dead-end — it returns `comparison_status: compared_with_market_peers`, comparing the real provider against its actual in-market competitors — its nearest providers by text-embedding — (listed in `compared_against_peers`, with a `recovery_note`); only when ZERO inputs resolve does it return `comparison_status: insufficient_valid_providers`. When the compared providers are different delivery types it sets `mixed_provider_types` + a `comparability_warning` (a hosted agent and an MCP server are not directly equivalent). Full evidence-scored cards for 2-6 handles side by side, each with observed price, all-time community upvotes and provider type. Each card carries the full how_to_connect object (website, docs, MCP endpoint + config_snippet, A2A card, API) so you can act on the winner directly. Each card also carries `reported_success` — the machine-reported outcome rate from report_outcome (null until 5+ distinct correlated reporters in 90 days). Report your own outcome after using the winner. Accepts `provider_ids` (aliases: handles, ids; a comma-separated string is also accepted). Use after search_providers or research_capability; when a compared provider is over budget or weakly matched, inline `suggested_alternatives` are returned.
