Pricing

Pay for what your site uses

There are no plans and no base fee: you pay for your domains beyond the ones included, render time by the second, analyses and bot file generations.

Pricing that follows your usage

No plans, no base fee, no overage charges.

Render time is billed per second. Analyses, bot file generation, and additional domains are separate usage items, and every render and what it cost is in your console.

Usage items

What you pay for

Each month a project is billed for what it has and uses, each item at its own unit price shown in the console. The estimate below reads the current prices.

Domains

  • Each project includes some domains; every domain beyond them is billed per month.
  • A month is billed on the most domains the project had at once.
  • Team members are free, up to 100 per project.

Render time

  • The render time of your pages, billed per second.
  • Render time is measured exactly and each month’s total is rounded up to the whole second.
  • Each device you render for, mobile or desktop, is its own render.

Checks

  • Pages are checked on the schedule you set. Before a scheduled render, a single request to your site checks whether the page changed since its last render.
  • An unchanged page keeps its render: only the check is billed, as render time, at 50% of the time it takes.
  • A changed page, a sitemap lastmod that moves or a render you ask for gets a full render.

Analyses

  • SEO and AEO analyses run when you ask for them, one per page.
  • Each analysis is billed at its own unit price, shown in the console.

Bot files

  • robots.txt is built from a template, with your choice of which AI training and AI search crawlers may read your site, and costs nothing extra.
  • llms.txt and llms-full.txt are written when you ask for them or on a weekly or monthly schedule you choose.
  • Each generation writes all the bot files and is billed once, separate from renders.
  • Each file is only served when your site doesn’t have its own.

Billing

  • Your card is only charged once what you owe reaches €10; smaller months are carried over.
  • Every month still gets its invoice, and the console shows what is carried over.
  • Your first project starts with a 14-day trial with every feature and no card needed.
  • Without a payment method when the trial ends, the project is paused: crawlers and visitors go straight to your site and nothing is deleted.
  • Usage limits protect every account; contact us to raise them.

Estimate your monthly cost

There are no plans and no base fee: you pay for your domains beyond the ones included, render time by the second, analyses and bot file generations, and a page that hasn’t changed is only checked, not rendered again. Your card is only charged once what you owe reaches €10; smaller months are carried over. Enter your site to count its pages from its sitemap, then adjust the estimate to how you would use BetterEO.

Filled in from your sitemap; change it if your site has more or fewer pages.

Only new or updated pages are rendered; a page that hasn’t changed since its last render is only checked, which is billed as render time for the check’s duration, and isn’t rendered again until it changes. Leave it empty if every page changes about once a month.

How long one page takes to render on one device; most pages take 2 to 5 seconds. Render time is measured exactly and each month’s total is rounded up to the whole second.

SEO and AEO analyses run when you ask for them, one per page.

Find this in Google Search Console → Performance → Total clicks (last 28 days). Your analytics’ monthly visits work too.

Assumes one domain; pages are checked at the refresh frequency over a 30-day month (every 4 hours 180, every 6 hours 120, every 12 hours 60, daily 30, every 2 days 15, every 3 days 10, weekly 4, every 2 weeks 2, every 30 days 1 a month) and each new or updated page is rendered once per update, at most once per check. Every other check finds the page unchanged and isn’t rendered; we assume each such check takes 0.5 seconds, billed at 50% (0.25 seconds of render time), once per page whatever the devices. Render time is those renders × devices × average render time, plus those checks × 0.25 seconds, rounded up to the whole second once for the month; bot file generation weekly is 4 a month, and each generation writes all the bot files (llms.txt, llms-full.txt and robots.txt) and is billed once. Actual bills follow your usage.
