What is Audisto Retainer Fit Matrix?
“10,000-page cap → retainer viability test”
Audisto's two published plans both cap crawls at 10,000 HTML pages, so the first agency decision is not which plan to buy but which clients fit under that ceiling. Crawler at $99 monthly gives daily scheduling, API access, and JavaScript rendering; Monitoring at $199 monthly adds hourly scheduling, real-time critical alerts, and 200 testing requirements per crawl. The matrix runs on two axes: page count against change velocity. A 4,000-page regional brand with weekly template releases belongs on Monitoring, because hourly alerts catch regressions before the client's Monday standup. A 9,500-page catalog that ships quarterly can sit on Crawler and still leave margin inside the $880/mo SMB audit offer after 12 hours of setup. Prospects above 10,000 HTML pages need a custom arrangement quoted separately, never absorbed into a fixed retainer. Run the page count before you sign, not after the first crawl stalls.
