Agent readiness scanner calculator
Re-weight our six scanner criteria for your team, then check which tools cover the jobs you need.
Agent Readiness Compare editors · Spec status checked September 2026
Answer
With our published weights, ora.ai scores 4.2 and Cloudflare Is It Agent Ready 3.3 out of 5. Move the sliders to match what your team values; if fix path and availability matter most, the order can change. The second table shows which of seven agent readiness jobs each tool documents. No tool in this set publishes a per-unit price, so there is no seat or cost input.
Scores are editorial assessments from public vendor pages, not hands-on tests. Pricing facts are as published on the vendors' pages; spec status checked September 2026.
1.How much does each criterion matter to you?
Each slider runs from 0 (ignore) to 10 (matters most), in steps of 0.5. They start at our published weights, halved to fit the scale: 20 percent becomes 10.
We look for: which discovery, content, capability, identity and commerce standards the scanner checks.
We look for: does the tool run an agent through a task and show where it stopped, beyond checking for files and headers?
We look for: are the layers, check counts, weights and grade bands public?
We look for: can the findings be fixed with features the same vendor provides?
We look for: can anyone use the full tool today without a waitlist or sign-up?
We look for: CLI, API or MCP access so a coding agent or CI job can run checks.

Markdown for Agents: no cost on Pro, Business and Enterprise plans and SSL for SaaS. AI Crawl Control: all plans. Pay per crawl: private beta. Plan prices: not covered in our review. |
Criterion scores used
| Criterion | ora.ai | Cloudflare Is It Agent Ready |
|---|---|---|
| Standards coverage | 4.5 / 5AgentReady spec covers robots.txt, llms.txt, sitemaps, JSON-LD, markdown negotiation, MCP, OpenAPI, WebMCP, NLWeb, OAuth 2.0, Web Bot Auth, x402, ACP, UCP and MPP. | 4.5 / 5Checks robots.txt, sitemaps, DNS-AID, markdown negotiation, AI bot rules, Web Bot Auth, MCP, OAuth, Agent Skills, WebMCP, x402, MPP, UCP and ACP. |
| Real-agent task testing | 4.5 / 5Journey records a real agent attempting a chosen intent and shows where it stalled; Deep Scan v2 scores what agents did. | 2 / 5Checks published standards; the public page does not describe running an agent through a task. |
| Published methodology | 4.5 / 5Methodology publishes four layers, points per layer (20/30/40/10), check counts (16/41/56/6) and grade bands A+ to F. | 3 / 5Lists five categories and the standards checked; score bands are not published on the page. |
| Fix path on the same platform | 3.5 / 5Fixes are ranked by impact and the MCP server can rescan after each fix; implementation happens on your own stack. | 4.5 / 5Markdown for Agents, AI Crawl Control, Pay per crawl and Web Bot Auth verification are Cloudflare features on the same network. |
| General availability | 3 / 5Free tier needs no key or sign-up; the home page asks new users to join a waitlist. | 5 / 5Public scan page; enter a URL and scan. |
| Developer workflow | 4.5 / 5npx ax audit CLI, REST API, MCP server and a local WebMCP audit (npx ax webmcp-audit). | 2 / 5No CLI or API for the scanner is documented on the public page. |
Formula: weighted score = sum of (criterion score × your weight) ÷ sum of your weights. Criterion scores are our editorial scores from 0 to 5; see the method. With our weights (20, 20, 15, 15, 10 and 20 percent) the result equals the published totals.
On your weights, ora.ai leads by 0.88 points. By criterion: ora.ai leads on: Real-agent task testing, Published methodology, Developer workflow. Cloudflare leads on: Fix path on the same platform, General availability. Tie: Standards coverage.
3.Which tools cover the jobs you need?
Tick the jobs your site needs. The table counts how each tool's public pages document them, using the statuses from the tools matrix. Tools are listed in the matrix order, not ranked, because they do different jobs.
| Tool | Provides | Partial or partner | Checks only | Pending or not documented | Jobs it provides |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ora.ai | 2 | 0 | 4 | 1 | J1, J2 |
| Cloudflare | 5 | 1 | 0 | 1 | J1, J3, J4, J5, J6 |
| Vercel | 3 | 1 | 0 | 3 | J4, J5, J6 |
| nekuda and webmcp.com | 1 | 2 | 0 | 4 | J5 |
| Forter | 1 | 1 | 0 | 5 | J6 |
Vercel's J1 status is a partnership: is-agentic.com is built by Vercel with ora.ai, and every scan is run by ora.ai.
J6 covers two kinds of verification. Cloudflare and Vercel verify which bot operator sent a request (Web Bot Auth). Forter links an agent shopper to a verified customer, the person behind the agent.
Neither J7 entry is a general payment rail: Cloudflare's Pay per crawl is for crawlers and in private beta, and Forter covers fraud and identity for agent-driven purchases.
Job coverage from public pages (Provides > Partial or Partner > Checks > Pending or Not documented). It is not a quality score.

Frequently asked questions
How does the calculator rank the scanners?
It multiplies each of our six criterion scores by the weight you set, adds them up and divides by the sum of your weights. With our default weights the result matches the totals on the method page. Ties are shown as ties.
Why are only two scanners scored?
We score only tools that do the same job. ora.ai Scan and Cloudflare Is It Agent Ready both take a public URL and report readiness signals. is-agentic.com also scans, but its scans are run by ora.ai, so we do not score it separately. The other tools serve, build or verify, so they appear in the job table instead.
Why is there no seat or price input?
No vendor in this set publishes a per-unit price for these jobs. ora.ai does not publish paid prices, and Cloudflare's scanner page states no price, so the calculator shows the published pricing facts instead of computing a cost.
Does a higher score mean more AI visibility or more sales?
No. The scores compare what scanners document on their public pages. They do not measure AI search visibility, traffic or conversion; measure outcomes with your own analytics.
