The Problem

You're being billed for traffic
you never invited.

AI companies are training on your content — and your hosting provider is passing the bandwidth bill directly to you.

Your Vercel bill jumped 10× and you don't know why

AI crawlers hammer your site with thousands of requests per hour. Your serverless functions scale to meet "demand" that generates zero revenue — and you get the invoice.

You can't tell Meta's AI crawler from a real user

Bot traffic is sophisticated. User-agent spoofing, residential IPs, and human-like request patterns make it nearly impossible to identify the culprit without specialized tooling.

Blocking all bots would break your SEO

You need Googlebot. You need Bingbot. A blanket bot-block nukes your search ranking. Surgical control — blocking only the expensive leeches — requires per-crawler rules you don't have time to build.

The Solution

CrawlGuard gives you
control without compromise.

Purpose-built for indie founders and small SaaS teams who want to stop bleeding money to AI training runs.

Know Every Crawler by Name

Real-time identification of traffic from Meta, OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and 30+ known AI crawlers — broken down by request volume, bandwidth, and timing.

Cost Attribution by Bot

See exactly which crawler is responsible for your bandwidth costs. Correlate traffic spikes to your actual hosting bill so you can make data-driven blocking decisions.

Threshold Alerts Before the Bill Hits

Set crawler traffic thresholds. Get notified by email or Slack the moment a bot starts crossing your cost floor — not two weeks later when the invoice arrives.

One-Click Rate Limiting, Zero SEO Risk

Deploy per-crawler rate-limiting rules that target only the expensive bots. Googlebot, Bingbot, and your real users flow through unaffected. Your rankings stay intact.

Stop overpaying for
someone else's training data.
