Pricing
The same census feeds both. The free tier is the aggregate reference — every headline measure with its denominator, free to cite. Terminal is the per-domain layer underneath it: every row, every edition, the change feed, the downloads and the API. Monthly, cancel any time; one month is the smallest unit sold.
The Briefing: a set of citable sentences per edition, each with its claims-sheet ID, each rewritten against the previous edition (Terminal rewrites them against any baseline in the series). Full detail: the frame, the denominator ladder, the leaderboard, the policy layer, reachability, machine-readable terms and the wire counts — complete, not sampled. The aggregate dashboard JSON to download and cite.
On the public site: Check a domain (any domain in the 50,000-domain frame: its declared policy and percentile), Explore data, suffix groups, the Weekly Crawl, and change alerts for up to three domains per address.
Free to cite with attribution to The Crawl Price Index. The per-domain layer — every domain, for every crawler, searchable and downloadable — is Terminal; free surfaces name at most six domains per edition (the Weekly Crawl’s movers, the change-feed sample).
Create a free accountEverything on the free tier, plus the eight per-domain tabs: Crawlers, Policy layer, Policy changes (every domain × crawler move, filterable), Domains (search any domain, open its factsheet with its wire result and every retained edition), Segments, Watchlist (your domains or a cohort you define — rank band, ads.txt, suffix, declared state — against the rest of the frame, with movement, the wire pair and two CSVs), Wire evidence (the named rows behind every cell) and Machine payments.
Downloads, current edition: per-domain JSON and CSV (rank, domain, 18 declared states, reachability, ads.txt, machine-readable terms, unread reason, the wire join). Per-domain history: one declared-state string per domain per edition since the series began on 23 August 2026, as CSV. API: GET api.crawlpriceindex.com/v1/dataset, JSON or CSV, 5,000 requests a month per key, responses watermarked to the key.
Single-subscriber licence: use it inside your organisation, quote it with attribution, do not redistribute the per-domain file. Founding subscribers keep their rate for at least 24 months. Billing by Stripe; access runs to the end of the paid period after you cancel. See the terms and data licence

There is no one-off purchase and no other tier. The census runs twice a week, Sunday and Wednesday; both tiers see the same edition on the same day.
No. It is the whole aggregate layer — every rate the product publishes, with its denominator. What it does not carry is the row underneath: which domain, which crawler. That layer is Terminal.
Yes, either tier, with attribution. The Briefing exists for exactly that: each sentence carries a claims-sheet ID and a Copy button that appends the attribution. The per-domain file may be used inside your organisation and quoted; it may not be redistributed.
Access continues to the end of the paid period, then the account returns to the free tier. Nothing is deleted; your downloads are yours.
