FAQ
- Is there a free plan?
- The proposed Free tier includes $2 of usage each month, one project, and the full MCP server with no card or trial clock.
- What if I use all my credits for the month?
- The planned credit guard stops paid API tasks when the allowance runs out, so usage cannot create an unexpected bill. Top-ups will remain an explicit purchase after billing opens.
- What features use credits?
- Under the proposed model, features that query DataForSEO's API consume credits — backlinks, keyword volume, competitor data, and site audits. Projects, settings, and saved data do not.
- Do unused credits roll over?
- Proposed top-up credits roll over indefinitely. Included usage resets each billing cycle.
- Can I cancel anytime?
- Billing is paused, so there is no active subscription to cancel. Final cancellation and refund terms will be published before payments open.
- Do I need a paid plan?
- Under the proposed model, Free works within its monthly usage. Paid plans raise that allowance and add projects and scheduled rank tracking. Workspaces currently support one user. Team invitations are not available; do not purchase a plan expecting shared access.
