## What the models said about Factors.ai

- "If I had to pick one, I'd shortlist Factors.ai Lite: it's listed at $199/month after a trial" (GPT-6 Luna, budget prompt, first choice)

## What the models said about G2 Buyer Intent

- "But check the actual package and price first: G2 says signal access depends on your plan, and its public pricing doesn't clearly show Buyer Intent as included in the low-cost Starter plan." (GPT-6 Luna, budget prompt, soft negative)
- "G2/TrustRadius/TechTarget-style intent can be useful, but it is often best for product-category research and may be less useful if you need broad, person-level buying intent" (GPT-5.4 mini, negative prompt, soft negative)
- "Each appears in comparison charts but shares recurring pain points—stale data, opaque predictive models, steep learning curves" (Qwen 3.7 Flash, negative prompt, soft negative)
- "Bombora layered with G2 Buyer Intent is the pragmatic starting point." (Claude Haiku 4.5, direct prompt, first choice)
