Using Defensio commercially

To help keep Defensio humming along smoothly, we ask that our commercial partners pay a small amount for the service.

Defensio is 100% free for use on all personal blogs (ie: no gimmicks)

Since we have to draw the line somewhere, we consider personal use to be a blog that receives less than 50K comments (spam + innocent) per month, and that it generates less than $250/month in direct revenue (ads, commissions, etc.).

This should cover the vast majority of our users. However, there is a small (but highly passionate!) group of people out there that will want to leverage Defensio's comment-spam-fighting abilities in their own applications or in industrial-strength ways. For these people we offer flexible commercial API licenses, at reasonable prices, to help us ensure the viability of Defensio for all its users.

Commercial Use

A fee applies for three possible types of commercial users: Professional, Enterprise and Developer.
