Evidence status
No charge and no paid tier. The homepage and library state 'Free. Seriously. FREE', every template is $0, and /downloads/botloadout-all-templates.zip answers a plain GET at 528,585 bytes without a signup or cookie. The only commerce is newsletter sponsorship, sold on /sponsor: that page now reads 'Sponsorship bookings open in January 2027', carries no stripe.com checkout URL, and offers an inquiry form plus email contact instead. Verified 2026-10-19 from /, /templates, /sponsor, /privacy, /terms, /llms.txt, the sitemap (97 template URLs) and the zip itself.
Official sources checked 2026-10-19Submitted via form by the vendor 2026-10-18 (12:24 UTC), category 'Writing & Productivity' — reclassified to AI Agents, since the product is a library of agent templates rather than a writing tool. Editorial entry written independently. Held 2026-10-18 on three blockers: no privacy notice, no terms and no template licence on a site that collects email addresses. Re-verified 2026-10-19 after the vendor replied: /privacy and /terms both return 200, effective 2026-10-19, naming A13 LLC (Texas LLC, 1101 W 34th St #600, Austin, TX 78705, sponsors@botloadout.com), a commercial-use licence with no attribution and no resale-as-a-library clause, and Texas governing law with Travis County venue. Both are linked in the footer and listed in the sitemap. Count re-verified after the vendor's 'every page now says 97': the sitemap carries 97 /t/ URLs, the library's category counts sum to 97, and the archive holds 388 files for 97 folders. The analytics disclosure matches the shipped markup (Vercel Web Analytics only, no GTM/GA4/Plausible/Clarity). Two vendor claims did not reproduce and are recorded in cons: the per-template 'date added' is not on the template page (only the sitewide 'Updated Oct 14, 2026'), and the newsletter gate is cosmetic — the zip downloads with no signup.
Official homepage and /security (checked 2026-09-02) advertise one public plan: $99/month, billed monthly, cancel anytime, with a 10-day free trial. catchagent.ai/pricing returned 404. The same homepage also shows a Closed Beta — Limited Spots waitlist questionnaire.
Official sources checked 2026-09-18Open verification questions
- Closed-beta waitlist copy and a public $99/month module appear on the same homepage; it is unclear whether checkout is open to anyone or gated.
- Marketing-host /privacy, /terms, /docs, and /rights 404. app.catchagent.ai/privacy and /terms are JavaScript SPA shells, so the full policy text was not independently readable in static HTML.
- SOC 2 Type II, CASA Tier-2, and Google Verified claims are vendor statements; the security page says full audit reports are available upon request.
- Named testimonials on the marketing site are vendor-supplied and were not independently corroborated.
Independently fetched with a browser user-agent on 2026-09-02. Homepage (200) and /security (200) both render a pricing module: “Hire your admin for $99/month”, “$99/month. Billed monthly. Cancel anytime.”, and “Start with a 10-day free trial.” /pricing, /docs, /rights, /privacy, and /terms on www.catchagent.ai returned 404. Footer links Privacy Policy and Terms of Service to app.catchagent.ai/privacy and app.catchagent.ai/terms (HTTP 200 SPA shells without readable policy text in the static HTML). Announcement tweet https://x.com/therealnirs/status/2095134650431586686 was not used for prices.
