Note: $1 starter credit, then pay as you go. There is no subscription, monthly minimum or seat fee; you add credits from $5 and they never expire. Sample prices: about $0.15 per keyword report (225 rows), $0.20 per backlink profile with a year of history, $1.30 per 500-page site audit and $0.85 per two-platform AI visibility run (ChatGPT and Google). The app shows an estimate before each paid action and stops when your balance runs out. Search Console data and saved reports don't use credits. The same balance works in the web app, the REST API and the hosted MCP server for Claude, Cursor and ChatGPT. Run by CYBRCOAST LLC (Delaware, dba FlexQueries), made by Nazran Farook.
