| content.faq | `[{"answer":"A platform for building and managing AI software factories, with focus on production AI operations and governance. It is indexed under Internal Developer Platforms.","source":"https://www.cortex.io","question":"What is Cortex?","confidence":0.6},{"answer":"Cortex does not publish its prices. Pricing is quoted on request, so the figure depends on your seat count and requirements. We record this as a pricing-transparency signal rather than guessing a number. Pricing changes often, so verify at source before relying on it.","source":"https://www.cortex.io/pricing","question":"How much does Cortex cost?","confidence":0.6},{"answer":"We have confirmed browser-based access to Cortex. That is the extent of what we could verify from public sources, so it may well offer desktop or mobile clients we have not indexed.","source":"https://www.cortex.io/pricing","question":"What platforms does Cortex support?","confidence":0.6},{"answer":"We have only confirmed a cloud / SaaS deployment for Cortex, so it appears to be vendor-hosted. If a self-hosted option exists we have not found it documented publicly.","source":"https://www.cortex.io/pricing","question":"Can Cortex be self-hosted?","confidence":0.6},{"answer":"We have independently confirmed SOC 2 and ISO 27001 for Cortex. Certifications we do not list are ones we have not been able to verify from public sources, which is not the same as Cortex not holding them. Always confirm compliance directly before you rely on it.","source":"https://www.cortex.io/security","question":"What security certifications does Cortex have?","confidence":0.48}]` | `[{"answer":"An internal developer platform that combines software catalogs, AI agent orchestration, and compliance automation to help teams build, govern, and operate modern software systems at scale. It is indexed under Internal Developer Platforms.","source":"https://www.port.io/pricing","question":"What is Port?","confidence":0.6},{"answer":"Port offers a free tier, so you can start without paying. Paid plans start at $30 per user per month. Prices are published openly on the vendor's own pricing page. Pricing changes often, so verify at source before relying on it.","source":"https://www.port.io/pricing","question":"Is Port free?","confidence":0.6},{"answer":"Port supports the web and a command-line interface. Platforms we have not confirmed are simply not listed here rather than ruled out.","source":"https://www.port.io/pricing","question":"What platforms does Port support?","confidence":0.6},{"answer":"Not fully, on what we have confirmed. Port is offered as cloud / SaaS and hybrid, and a hybrid deployment usually means some components can run on your own infrastructure while the rest stays vendor-hosted. We have not confirmed a completely self-hosted option, so check with the vendor if that is a requirement.","source":"https://www.port.io/pricing","question":"Can Port be self-hosted?","confidence":0.6},{"answer":"We have confirmed 50 integrations for Port, including GitHub, AWS, GCP, Slack, Jira, Cursor, n8n and Terraform, plus 42 more. This is what we could verify from public sources, so the vendor may support others we have not indexed.","source":"https://www.port.io/pricing","question":"What does Port integrate with?","confidence":0.6},{"answer":"We have independently confirmed SOC 2, ISO 27001 and GDPR for Port.
