How is this free? What's the catch?
Pluck doesn't run an LLM on a server we pay for. The picker is the product; AI inference happens on your machine (Chrome's built-in Gemini Nano) or via your own API key (Anthropic, Gemini, OpenAI). Either way, our cost per row is $0 โ so there's nothing to charge you for. Pro is one-time, $29, for power features (unlimited jobs, scheduling, integrations). That's it.Do I need an API key?
No, not if you're on Chrome 127+ with the Prompt API enabled โ Pluck uses Gemini Nano locally and you're done. For higher-quality inference, you can paste an Anthropic / Gemini / OpenAI key in Settings. Pluck never sees the key โ it lives in yourchrome.storage.Does my data ever leave my machine?
Only if you choose a hosted AI provider (Anthropic, Gemini, OpenAI) โ in which case the page snippets you scrape are sent to that provider, not us, under your account's privacy terms. With Chrome built-in AI, nothing leaves your device. Pluck has no server in the data path either way.Can I scrape any site?
Pluck works on any site you can already see in your browser. It doesn't bypass logins, paywalls, or anti-bot systems โ those are out of scope. If a site uses Cloudflare or similar, Pluck still works as long as you can browse the page normally.What about pagination and infinite scroll?
Pluck follows "next" links and numbered pagination during scheduled or manual re-runs (with safety caps: default 10 pages / 1000 rows, hard cap 50 / 10k). Infinite-scroll clickers are on the Phase 2 list.Scheduled runs โ how reliable?
Pluck Pro useschrome.alarms. Alarms fire on whatever interval you set as long as Chrome is open. If you quit Chrome, alarms pause; they resume when you reopen it. For 24/7 scheduling without your laptop being on, we'll have a Business tier later โ funded by revenue, not by you upfront.Is there a Firefox / Edge / Safari version?
Chrome (and Chromium-based browsers โ Edge, Arc, Brave) for now. Firefox support is on the roadmap once the MV3 dust settles in Gecko. Safari is unlikely in the near-term.Why isn't there a subscription tier?
Because we don't have recurring costs to recoup. Hosting the landing page is free. AI is paid by you. There's no inventory of proxies for us to provision. A one-time license is the honest pricing for what Pluck actually costs to run.What if you go out of business?
Pluck Pro's license is verified offline โ no Pluck server has to be alive for your copy to keep working. The extension would keep working forever as-is. Source code is on GitHub; worst case, it can be forked.How do I refund?
Email ernest2011kostevich@gmail.com within 14 days. Full refund (in the crypto you paid in, at the original USD value), no questions.Why crypto only? Can I pay with a card?
Pluck Pro is sold via NOWPayments, which accepts BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC, and 150+ other cryptos. Picking a crypto checkout means zero KYC overhead on our side, ~0.5% in fees instead of 5-10%, and a lifetime price of $29 instead of $39+. If a card-checkout option is must-have for you, email ernest2011kostevich@gmail.com โ if there's demand we'll add Lemon Squeezy as a second option.
