Three ways in

Read it for nothing. Run it for $99. Add my time for $279.

Most people reading this should buy the middle tier and stop there. The $279 tier adds my hours and no software, so if you already know the niche you want, you don't need it. And if you never buy anything, the method, the measured data and a worked run stay open on this site.

Tools that do a slice of this bill $129 to $399 a month. SEOmatic listed $149 a month and Clearscope $129 when their pricing pages were last read in August 2026, so check them yourself, they move. A year on the cheapest of those is about $1,548. The pipeline is $99, once, and it doesn't renew.

Which one is right for you

Take the free tier if you want to judge the method before you trust it, because everything that makes the argument is already published. Take the $99 tier if you have a niche and you want to build. Take the $279 tier only when you are about to spend real hours on a topic and would rather somebody checked it first.

Side by side

What each tier actually includes

Every row is a thing you either get or don't. Nothing is removed from a lower tier to make a higher one look better.

Prices read from the live Stripe account on 15 August 2026. Both are one-time charges and neither renews.

If it goes wrong

Fourteen days, no questions, no conditions

Run it on your own niche. If you don't want it, say so within 14 days and I refund you in full. You don't have to justify it and I won't ask you to. The window runs from the day you pay, on both paid tiers.

Reply to your Stripe receipt. That reaches lipmichal@gmail.com, the support address registered on the payment account, so it's the route that can't fail. support@toolsthatrank.com reaches me too. A person reads both.

Checkout runs on Stripe. The line on your statement reads AUTOM8 LLC. The full wording sits in the refund clause.

If you never buy anything, nothing you're reading now goes away. The method stays published, the measured pages stay up, and the two open-source libraries stay on crates.io and the D registry.

Before you decide

Questions people actually ask

What exactly do I get for $99?

The full pipeline, one time, yours to keep. Fourteen trust layers, five originality layers, eleven provider adapters (nine named LLM vendors, plus an offline stub and a custom endpoint), the site templates and the deploy step. You run it on your own machine against your own API key, for as many niches as you want. There is no per-site fee and no metering. API spend is yours. Run it against a Claude subscription and the marginal cost is nothing, while the cheaper HTTP providers cost a fraction of a dollar per build.

What is the difference between the pipeline and the vetting tier?

The software is identical. The $279 tier buys my time and nothing else. I vet your keyword and your niche before you build, so you do not spend a week on a topic that was never winnable, and I read your first built page against the same publish gate the pipeline uses and write back what I would change. That review lands within three business days of you sending the page. No feature is held back from the $99 tier to make this one look better.

What happens if it does not work for me?

You ask for the money back within 14 days and you get all of it. Reply to your Stripe receipt, which reaches lipmichal@gmail.com, the support address registered on the payment account. You do not have to give a reason and I will not ask for one. Read the honest limits first though. The pipeline refuses to publish figures it cannot verify, and that is the only guarantee on offer. It does not manufacture links, brand or time, and none of those are things software can hand you.

Do I need the vetting tier?

No, and most buyers do not. Take the $99 tier if you already have a niche in mind or you are happy to pick one and find out. The vetting tier earns its price in one case, when you are about to sink real hours into a topic and want somebody who has run this 34 times to tell you first whether the topic is worth the hours. You can also come back for it later. The $279 link stays open to people who already bought at $99, and I credit the $99 you already paid.

Is there a refund?

Fourteen days, no questions, no conditions, on both paid tiers. The window runs from the day you pay. On the vetting tier it runs from the day you pay too, not from the day the review lands, so if the review is slow the window is still yours. Refunds go back to the card Stripe charged.
