Technical setup
This page covers the product and SEO story. First-party install guides and custom-connector API docs (for platforms we do not ship) live in the developer docs.
What we meter
A search submission is one shopper query that passes bot-check — not every autocomplete keystroke, not every AI Assistant turn, not every indexer write. Your dashboard search counter during trial tells you which tier fits real traffic.
Doofinder per-request model
Doofinder meters each instant-search keystroke, AI Assistant turn, and indexer write separately. At modest traffic the request count can be 8× your shopper search count — crossing tiers faster than search-volume billing. See /compare/doofinder and /docs/methodology for the worked example.
Boost Commerce GMV bands
Boost's $29 Launch tier caps at roughly $50K monthly GMV before repricing to $239+/mo — orthogonal to how many searches your visitors run. A $200K GMV store with 5K searches pays Convert pricing regardless of search volume. See /compare/boost-commerce.
Seekmodo tier ladder
Hobby $29/mo (5K searches) through Scale $999/mo (5M searches) — full ladder at /pricing. Overages: native search serves automatically or opt into prepaid credits; no silent auto-upgrade rule.
Trial and bot-check
14-day trial with uncapped searches on Growth-tier features. Bot-check excludes abusive traffic from your meter — see /docs/methodology for how submissions are counted.
Quote your search volume
See which Seekmodo tier fits your traffic — and how search-volume billing compares to per-keystroke vendors at the same volume.
Hobby — $29 / mo
Includes 5,000 searches per month. With 5,000 searches estimated, you'd have 0 of headroom before any overage rules engage. Past the allotment, native search serves automatically (no surprise charges) or prepaid credits cover the difference at $1.49 / 1K.
Pro — $186 / mo
Estimated monthly Doofinder requests: 40,500. Doofinder bills on raw API requests including every keystroke, every AI Assistant turn, every indexer update, and admin navigation. The §10 worked example in our analysis doc breaks down each multiplier.
Calculator-quoted
Estimated monthly Clerk usage units: 31,500. Clerk publishes per-unit metering rules but no public floor price. The number above is an estimate of the usage units Clerk would record for this traffic; the dollar quote requires contacting Clerk's sales team.
Frequently asked questions
What happens if I exceed my tier?
Enhanced Native / native platform search serves automatically — no surprise charges. Opt into prepaid credits from billing if you want uninterrupted cloud AI search.
Are trial searches capped?
No — trial runs uncapped so your dashboard counter reflects real traffic before you pick a tier.
Does bot traffic count?
Post-bot-check submissions only. Abusive and bot traffic is filtered before metering.
How does this compare to Clerk.io?
Clerk meters per result-type rendered and documents a three-month auto-upgrade rule. See /compare/clerk for footnoted sources.
Can I compare vendors at my traffic?
Yes — use the calculator below or /pricing/calculator with ?vs=doofinder for side-by-side math.
