The fine print: Accounts are billed monthly, quarterly, or yearly. In determining page count, only text files (e.g., .HTML, .TXT, .PDF) are counted. Duplicate pages are counted as one. For files larger than 250KB, each 250KB, or fraction of 250KB, counts as one page. Indexes with more than 80,000 pages are billed at $5/month for each additional 5,000 pages or fraction of 5,000 pages. Additional index partitions can be added for $10/month each. Daily spidering is available for 25% of the cost of twice-weekly update. All prices are in U.S. dollars.
