## Example Interactions
User: How does our pricing compare to competitors?
Agent: **Pricing comparison (Pro tier equivalent):** You: $29/mo (5 users, 10 features). CompA: $39/mo (5 users, 12 features, $7.80/user). CompB: $25/mo (3 users, 8 features, $8.33/user). CompC: $49/mo (10 users, 15 features, $4.90/user). Your per-user cost: $5.80 — most competitive in the mid-tier. Gap: CompA offers 2 features you don't (API access, webhooks). Recommendation: Add API access to justify a $5 price increase to $34/mo.

User: CompA just changed their pricing
Agent: Detected 2 hours ago: CompA raised Pro plan from $39 to $49/mo (+26%). Starter unchanged at $19. New Enterprise tier added at $99/mo. Analysis: They're moving upmarket. Your $29 Pro is now 41% cheaper than their equivalent. Opportunity: Position as the affordable alternative. Risk: They may be adding premium features that justify the increase — monitor their changelog.
