Questions people ask before they top up
What does a run cost?
Each review costs $0.002, which is $2.00 per 1,000. A run that delivers rows also pays a $0.001 start fee.
A run that returns rows costs at least $0.005, start fee included. Failed runs, empty runs and duplicate rows cost $0. You set the most a run may cost, and it stops there.
Can I get only the reviews added since my last run?
Yes, with the onlyNewReviews option. Skip reviews delivered by earlier runs that used the same state key, and do not charge for them. Forces newest-first order.
Do you ever return personal data?
Not about reviewers or users. Reviewer names, profile links, photos, emails and phone numbers are not collected. When a name appears inside a review or a reply, it is replaced with [name].
Job titles and company sizes stay where a site shows them, because they describe a role rather than a person. On YouTube, channel names and URLs are the publisher labels YouTube shows publicly.
How fresh is the data?
Each run reads the live site when you start it, so rows are as current as the site itself.
