Plans and what each one includes

Ottom sells one subscription per storefront. A plan decides three things: how often an AI agent walks your store, how often the cheaper retrieval checks run, and which parts of a report you can read. Everything below is read from the tables the scheduler and the entitlements resolver use, so this page cannot drift from the product.

The plans

Free

One scan of your store and your score. An agent attempts checkout whenever your store lets it in. Scan again within 30 days and you get that same report back. After that, we ask before running another free scan.

What runs, and how often

  • Nothing is scheduled. The scan runs when you ask for it

What you can read

  • Score, stage funnel and finding counts

No card, and nothing to cancel.

Coverage $19 /mo

Daily price, stock and schema checks, one full agent journey a month, and alerts. The cheapest way to keep watching a storefront.

What runs, and how often

  • A full agent journey every month
  • Price, stock, structured data and policy checks every day

What you can read

  • Score, stage funnel and finding counts
  • Every finding
  • The evidence behind each finding
  • A fix for each finding
  • The report as a PDF
  • Score history and trend
  • Scheduled runs and alerts
  • Benchmark trends and stall breakdowns by segment

Bought at checkout, by card or through Shopify billing, at the same price.

What each of those means

The list above names what a plan unlocks. This is what each one actually is.

One report, without a subscription

$9 buys the full report for one storefront outright: every finding, the evidence behind it and a fix for each one. It schedules nothing. One free scan per store, per email address, every 30 days.

Limits that apply on every plan

Every limit, and what happens when a store reaches one.

Questions

Does a more expensive plan run a better scan?

No. It runs the same scan more often. The agent does the same work on every plan, so what a higher tier buys is how quickly a change gets noticed, plus a small number of extra surfaces listed against each plan above.

Can a higher plan include less than a lower one?

No. The ladder never inverts, and a test asserts it. Two adjacent plans can include exactly the same things and differ only in how often they run, which is deliberate: Coverage and Monitor are one such pair, and so are Defend and Patrol.

I have five storefronts. Do I need five subscriptions?

Yes. A subscription covers one storefront, and they do not have to be on the same plan. Each storefront keeps its own score, its own history and its own alerts, because each one can break on its own.

Does the agent ever place a real order?

No. It goes as far as the payment step and stops. No card details are entered and no order is placed, on any plan including enterprise. That is a guardrail rather than a setting, so there is nothing to switch on or off.

Can a merchant stop Ottom scanning their store?

Yes. Mail [email protected] from an address at the store's own domain and that domain stops being scanned: the storefront, its subdomains, and every kind of visit we make, including scheduled runs and the ones nobody asked us for. The check sits where runs are created, so it binds every path a scan can start from. A shared mailbox such as Gmail, a storefront on a platform domain, or mail that does not pass the domain's DMARC check cannot prove who runs the shop, so those become a support request a person answers.

What happens to my report if I cancel?

Scheduled runs stop and the report locks back to the score and the stage funnel. Nothing is deleted, so resubscribing restores what you could read before. Cancelling takes effect at the end of the period you have paid for, and until that date the store page will keep the subscription for you in one click if you change your mind.
