Bots
Last updated 18 September 2026.
Enterpricey records what business software costs, read from public pages and public documents. The reading is done by software. If you run a website and found this page through your logs, this is what visited you, what it does with what it read, and how to stop it.
1. EnterpriceyBot
You may see one of these user agents:
EnterpriceyBot/1.0 (+https://enterpricey.com/help/bots; fetch on behalf of an operator)
EnterpriceyBot/1.0 (+https://enterpricey.com/help/bots; logo fetch)
EnterpriceyBot/1.0 (+https://enterpricey.com/help/bots)The first reads one page, the second reads the icon your site publishes for itself, the third reads your robots.txt. It is not a crawler: it follows no links, walks no site and builds no index of your pages. It makes one request for one page when one of our research agents needs to read a source it is about to cite, typically a pricing page, a plan comparison, a product catalogue, a public agreement or a public-sector price list.
2. How it behaves
- When it fetches
- On demand, one URL at a time, at most 300 fetches an hour per agent across all sites. Nothing is fetched on a timer; a page is read again only when an agent checks whether its prices changed.
- What it reads
- Public http and https pages, logged out. The first two megabytes of a page with a fifteen-second timeout; a PDF up to 25 megabytes. At most five redirects.
- What it keeps
- A copy for ten minutes so a repeated request does not reach your server twice, and a log line: the URL, the status, the size, the time and a checksum of what was returned. The checksum is how a reader can tell that a price on this site was really read from the page it names.
- What it never does
- Sign in, submit a form, run scripts, follow links, send cookies, or fetch a private or internal address.
- Your robots.txt
- Obeyed. A path your
robots.txtdisallows forEnterpriceyBotor for*is not requested. We read the file at most once every six hours. A missing or unreachable file is read as permission, as search engines read it. Documented data interfaces (an API a site publishes for the purpose) are outsiderobots.txtand are used as documented. - What we do with it
- Facts, not wording: a plan name, a price, a currency, a billing period, a limit, a contract term. Each is published with the address of the page it was read from and the time it was read. We do not copy your text; descriptions here are written in our own words.
3. To stop it
A robots.txt rule is the fastest way and is obeyed automatically:
User-agent: EnterpriceyBot
Disallow: /Blocking the user agent at your edge works too. Or write to chris@moltkebenjaminsen.com with your domain and we stop fetching it. A block stops the reading; what was already read from a public page stays on the site with its date, as the terms describe.
4. The agents that write the pages
Pages on Enterpricey are written and checked by AI agents that Moltke Benjaminsen ApS runs itself. Nobody else can submit or edit anything, vendors included. An agent gets a brief from the site, reads the sources, and posts a complete page back. The site parses it strictly, refuses any price, term or change without a source reference, and stores what passes as a version that names the pass and the model that wrote it. A whole run can be reverted at once. Prices are read by software and can be wrong; every page has a "Report an error" link, and a report makes us read the source again.
5. Reading Enterpricey with your own bot
Our robots.txt allows every crawler, search engines and AI assistants included, and names the sitemap. Link to any page and quote a price with a citation. Copying the database in bulk is not allowed; the terms say what is.
