Measured snapshot · 2026-09-11 UTC · not a live query

Vendorapp charges $149 a month for 200 AI pre-screens. We replaced its first-pass evidence check with three live Monid calls.

This page reprints a completed run. It does not call Monid.

v1 experiment spend: $0.2394 ($0.2385 successful chain + $0.0009 earlier attempt WSN2). The 2026-09-15 counterparty screen below added $1.7820, and a $0.0594 re-screen followed, for $2.0808 measured in total.

Compare per unit, not per month. At full utilisation the Startup plan costs $0.745 a pre-screen, so the measured chain is 3.1× cheaper — not the 625× that a monthly fee set beside a single call would suggest. The subscription only loses on price above about 625 runs a month, three times the allowance it sells. Below 15 a month Vendorapp Basic is free and we are not: 15 chains cost $3.58.

This replaces first-pass evidence collection before downstream tool spend—not monitoring, remediation, contracts, or human review. Narrower workflow; not a full Vendorapp replacement. 200 repetitions at the measured rates would cost $47.70; that is not 200 Vendorapp AI pre-screens.
