FAQ
- How is this different from a monthly plan?
- A monthly plan includes the search data as credits, with nothing to set up. The lifetime licence is the software only: you connect your own DataForSEO account and pay them directly for the data you pull, at their rates, with nothing added by us. Both have every feature.
- Why do I need my own DataForSEO account?
- It's what makes selling the software once possible. Search data has no ceiling: bundling it into a one-time price would mean guessing your usage and adding limits to make the guess safe. On your own account you pay for exactly what you pull. A new DataForSEO account starts with $1 of credit to test on, and the minimum top-up is $50.
- What happens when my DataForSEO balance runs out?
- The app keeps working. Anything already fetched stays where it is, and your projects, saved keywords and reports are unaffected; it simply can't fetch new data until you top up. Your licence isn't involved.
- Does the licence expire?
- No. It's a one-time payment with no renewal, and it includes future updates.
- Why not just use DataForSEO's own MCP?
- It's a direct line to their API: raw responses, nothing remembered, nothing scheduled. PandaCrawl runs on the same data at the same price and adds history, scheduled checks, your Search Console, Analytics and Bing data, and compact answers. Keyword research for one seed comes back about 31x smaller than DataForSEO's raw response, and repeating it within 24 hours costs nothing. If you only need the odd raw number, their MCP is all you need.
- Is there a money-back guarantee?
- Yes, 30 days. If PandaCrawl isn't for you, email kamal@pandacrawl.app within thirty days of buying and we'll refund the licence.
