PRICING
Measurement is free. Repeating it costs money.
The scan that tells you whether AI crawlers can read your site costs nothing and needs no account. What you pay for is a weekly recheck, an evidence report when it detects a change, and — at the top tier — observations from your own server logs alongside a probe.
The scan — free, no account
12 AI crawler user-agents sent against a browser baseline seconds apart, plus robots.txt read token by token, plus a raw-HTML word count with JavaScript off — which is all GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot ever receive. About 60 seconds. No signup and no card.
This is not a trial of the paid product. It is the paid product's measurement, run once, by you. Run it →
Log monitoring you own — free, customer-hosted
Connect a Vercel log drain and we filter the AI-crawler requests out of your traffic, verify vendor networks where published IP ranges exist, strip visitor-level fields, and write the operational event into a PostHog project you control. The data lands in your account, not ours.
It contributes a minimized domain-level record to our benchmark under versioned Data Contribution Terms. Original log batches, exact paths, client IPs, query strings, headers and cookies are never sold. Set it up →
Subscriptions
Monitor — $0
NO CARD. YOUR EMAIL, YOUR WEBSITE, AND WHAT AI SHOULD GET RIGHT.
Every week we scan your homepage from a datacenter address with 12 crawler user-agents and compare it to the last run. You get one email if AI-crawler access changes, with the evidence. Tell us what you want AI to get right about your business and a person reads it. Unsubscribe with one click from any email.
The scanner's crawler engine is open source: geo-crawl-audit. Run it yourself if you prefer.
Root-Cause AI Search Audit — one-time, from $2,500
A human engagement, not a subscription: ten commercially important URLs probed the way machines actually fetch them, verification against your server or CDN logs where available, a Search Console join showing which valuable pages are affected, repeated answer-engine sampling reported with run counts rather than one-run claims, root-cause classification across seven stages, paste-ready fixes for your developer, and one post-fix re-verification within 30 days.
Single domain from $2,500. Multi-domain and portfolio engagements from $10,000, scoped to the number of properties and whether server logs are available. Most sites never need this — run the free scan first.

What none of this buys you
Referral traffic from AI assistants is still small for most sites, and we are not going to pretend a subscription changes that. What is measurable is whether you are reachable and readable at all. Being blank guarantees the answer is no; being readable makes it possible. Anyone selling you the second half of that sentence as a traffic promise is guessing.
We also do not sell rankings, schema packages, or "AI optimization" content. The method is open source, so you can run the measurement yourself and never pay us anything.
Questions
Is the scan really free?
Yes. No account, no card, no trial that expires. It is the same measurement the paid tiers repeat on a schedule. There is a per-IP rate limit so one visitor cannot saturate the probe — 5 fresh scans per 10 minutes, and 3 fresh re-checks of the same domain per hour — but nothing behind it costs money.
