Pro covers unlimited personal sites and 500 keywords; Business 100 client sites and 10,000 keywords; Agency 500 sites and 50,000. The 30-day refund policy covers new purchases only, not renewals, and the 15-day Content AI trial that comes with each plan turns into a paid plan unless you cancel it before it ends. The euros are not a European quirk of our reading: we checked from a US connection and the storefront still priced in euros, so an American pays in euros too and carries whatever their card charges to convert.",
