Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about ScaleShield pricing.
- Can I upgrade or downgrade anytime?
- Yes. You can switch plans at any time from your dashboard. When upgrading, you only pay the prorated difference. When downgrading, the credit is applied to your next billing cycle.
- Is there really a free plan?
- Absolutely. The Free plan is free forever with no credit card required. It includes basic bot protection and 5GB of bandwidth per month, which is plenty for personal sites and small projects.
- Do I need to install anything?
- No. ScaleShield works at the DNS level. You simply point your domain to our network by updating a DNS record. There is no software to install, no code to add, and no server configuration required.
- How long does setup take?
- Most users are fully set up in under 5 minutes. Add your domain, update your DNS record, and you are protected. DNS propagation typically takes a few minutes to a few hours depending on your provider.
- What happens if I exceed my bandwidth?
- We will never cut off your website. If you approach your bandwidth limit, we will notify you and recommend upgrading. If you go slightly over, we cover it. For consistent overages, we will help you find the right plan.
- Do you offer refunds?
- Yes. We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all paid plans. If ScaleShield is not the right fit, contact our support team within 30 days for a full refund.
- Can I use ScaleShield with WordPress?
- Yes, and it works exceptionally well. ScaleShield includes dedicated WordPress hardening features like login page protection, XML-RPC blocking, and wp-admin brute-force prevention on Starter plans and above.
- Is there an API?
- Yes. All ScaleShield features are available through our REST API. You can manage domains, configure rules, view analytics, and automate your security setup programmatically.
