Market Price Check: What Others Charge for the Same Job

Market Price Check works paste-first. Job sites like Upwork, Fiverr and Freelancehunt block automated page fetches (in test runs their pages returned 403 to the agent, and automatic search found 0 of 4 usable comparables for two common tasks). So the skill tells you what to search for and where, you open 3–6 job posts or service listings in your own browser and paste the text or screenshots, and it does the careful part.

It's for freelancers, studios and small agencies who need a price they can defend: before quoting a new project, when checking whether your quote is low or high, or when deciding whether a job post's budget is realistic.

First it rewrites your task as a generic description with the size class that moves the price, without client names or private text. For every post you paste it extracts the price, currency, price type, date (relative dates like "3 weeks ago" become real dates), scope and platform, and nothing that isn't on the page. Then it filters: same kind of work (one named difference allowed), posted within 60 days by default, in your market. Every post gets a verdict you can see and push back on.

From the counted posts you get a price range with its median, where your own quote sits, and a list of rejected posts with reasons. Mixed currencies are converted only with a rate you give or allow it to look up. Fewer than four counted: the range is marked "thin evidence"; one or none: no range at all. A separate verifier re-reads every extraction against your paste and recomputes the numbers.

Optional: let the agent try automatic search with its own web tools first. It's best-effort, often finds fewer than four, and lists the blocked pages so you can paste them.
