Honest comparison
Zelos AI vs Argus Intel
Argus Intel: $49–$149/mo · Zelos AI: $0–$349/mo
Argus Intel advertises "30+ sources" at a similar price point to Zelos. Look closer: roughly a dozen of those sources are security-OSINT scans — ransomware leak sites, Shodan, exposed S3 buckets, breached credentials. Useful for a security team; irrelevant to whether your competitor is about to undercut your pricing. Zelos spends its entire source budget on the 18 signals that actually predict go-to-market moves.

The verdict
If you need to know whether a competitor left an S3 bucket open, Argus scans for that. If you need to know they raised prices 40% on Thursday — and what to do about it by Monday 9am — that is Zelos.
