We have just updated 80legs with some exciting new changes.  Starting today, the 80legs service will be divided into 3 tiers: Basic, Plus and Premium.  Since the time we've launched, we've noticed that our customer base can be classified into 3 major groups - light, medium and heavy users.  Each of these plans is targeted to each group and designed to fulfill their specific needs.

Here are details on each plan:

Basic Plan:

• Free to use
• Normal crawling speed (up to 1 request/second/domain)
• Access to 80legs Web Portal
• 1 job running at a time
• Up to 100K crawled pages per job
• Low priority in 80legs job queue
• No recurring jobs allowed

Plus Plan:

• $99/month + crawling fees
• Fast crawling speed (up to 5 requests/second/domain)
• Access to 80legs Web Portal and API
• Up to 3 jobs running at a time
• Up to 1M crawled pages per job
• Normal priority in 80legs job queue
• Recurring jobs allowed

Premium Plan:

• $299/month + crawling fees
• Ultra-fast crawling speed (up to 10 requests/second/domain)
• Access to 80legs Web Portal and API
• Up to 5 jobs running at a time
• Up to 10M crawled pages per job
• Preferred priority in 80legs job queue
• Recurring jobs allowed

Existing users can sign up for a plan by going to the new Subscription section in the 80legs Web Portal, where there are complete details and instructions on signing up for a plan.

We're really excited about these changes.  Of course, the Basic Plan now enables completely free web-crawling, which until today has been completely unheard of.  The Plus and Premium Plans give heavier users the ability to set up and run more intensive crawls.

If any of our users have questions about the changes, please contact us or submit a tickets.  We're always happy to hear from you!
