The tech giant Cloudflare is taking a decisive step in regulating AI traffic by announcing the official launch of the Pay-per-Crawl platform on July 1, 2025. The new market mechanism provides unprecedented opportunities for digital space owners.
The innovative solution allows full flexibility in managing artificial intelligence - sites can choose between three main strategies: free access, complete blocking, or introducing differentiated micropayments for each AI scan.
The platform represents a natural continuation of the company's existing technological developments in AI traffic analysis. The main goal is to ensure the sustainability of quality online content by creating a transparent and fair economic model.
Cloudflare demonstrates a strategic vision for the future of the digital economy by providing publishers with tools for direct control and potential compensation for the use of their information resources by artificial intelligence.
