How it's billed
Pay as you go. Grow Plus (keyword search plus AI ranking, AI synonyms and personalization) includes 10K search requests/month, then charges $1.75 per extra 1K. Plain keyword Grow is $0.50 per extra 1K. 100K records are included on both, then $0.40 per 1K. Search-as-you-type counts every keystroke as a request.
Estimated monthly cost by store size
- Search requests: 15,000 − 10,000 included = 5,000 extra
- 5K × $1.75 per 1K = $8.75/mo (Grow Plus, with AI ranking/synonyms)
- Records: 500 products fit within the 100,000 included records (variants/replicas can add more)
- Keyword-only Grow would be $2.50/mo. Developer/integration time not included.
- Search requests: 60,000 − 10,000 included = 50,000 extra
- 50K × $1.75 per 1K = $87.50/mo (Grow Plus, with AI ranking/synonyms)
- Records: 5,000 products fit within the 100,000 included records (variants/replicas can add more)
- Keyword-only Grow would be $25/mo. Developer/integration time not included.
- Search requests: 225,000 − 10,000 included = 215,000 extra
- 215K × $1.75 per 1K = $376.25/mo (Grow Plus, with AI ranking/synonyms)
- Records: 25,000 products fit within the 100,000 included records (variants/replicas can add more)
