Honest comparison
RoboMacro vs Oxford Economics
Oxford Economics is a retainer research house. RoboMacro is free, no human in the loop, and agent-native (API, MCP, Saturday JSONL). Different product, overlapping reader.
Oxford Economics, Macrobond, and Capital Economics sell retainers, human desks, and terminal integration. RoboMacro is a free daily factory with no human in the loop. That is a different buyer, overlapping keywords.
| Oxford-style houses | RoboMacro | |
|---|---|---|
| Delivery | Retainer, analyst, PDF | Daily HTML notes, dashboards, Saturday JSONL |
| HITL | Human research | No human in the loop |
| Agents | Not the product | API, MCP, x402, llms.txt |
| Price | Institutional | Free research; compute can be metered later |
If you need a named economist on the hook, they win. If you need a quoteable daily and a training dump, that is /open-data.
