BotCost

Free tool to estimate how much AI crawler bots cost your site from your logs, then block them

Web appmvpfreeglobal

A free web tool that analyzes Nginx, Apache, or Cloudflare logs at the edge to detect known AI crawler fingerprints and estimate the bandwidth and hosting cost they generate. It produces a one-line blocking rule to stop unwanted crawlers, aimed at website owners, DevOps/SRE teams, and publishers who need to quantify and limit AI bot traffic without uploading logs or creating an account.
