Once your domain's visibility is set to Visible in Account Settings, you can set a pay per crawl price and enable pay per crawl for that domain.

  1. Go to AI Crawl Control. Go to AI Crawl Control ↗
  2. Go to the Payments tab.
  3. In the Pay Per Crawl card, select Enable.
  4. Set your default per crawl price. This is the amount charged for each successful content retrieval (HTTP 200 response) by an AI crawler.
  5. (Optional) To set different prices for different content, select Enable dynamic pricing. Refer to Advanced configuration for details.
  6. Select Save.

After enabling and setting a price, the domain's status in Account Settings will change to Enabled.

Pricing considerations

The minimum price is $0.001 USD per crawl. Consider your content value and expected crawler volume when setting your price.
