Plans & historical pricing
Web Free, Pro and all eight Business volumes with monthly/annual selection; API separate · 2026-10-20
19 plan / billing-period records, all listed; — means that period is not recorded.
Annual charges for Pro and all eight Business volumes were verified separately in Stripe checkout. Unlimited paid removal coexists with batch-export limits. The free tier still says Limited without an exact removal count; it is not treated as unlimited.
Verification has gaps; unknown prices and quotas are not inferred.
