Pair Networks vs. the web hosting field

The same competitive-analysis question, put to four AI agents. Each produced its own dashboard with its own sources, framing, and conclusions. Presented here side by side in a common visual style so the differences are in the analysis, not the design.

The four agents were given the same brief but chose different competitor sets, different metrics, and different data sources — so their numbers do not always agree. Pair's intro price, for example, is $2.99 in three of them and $5.95 in the Gemini one; its domain count is ~140K in one and 69K in another. Those disagreements are preserved as each agent produced them; nothing has been reconciled. Only colors, typography, and spacing were changed. Original unmodified files are kept in originals/.
