ziptie.dev/faq - Coverage in the vendor’s words

ziptie.dev/faq - Countries

At present, ZipTie allows you to check AI search success in 28 countries:
ziptie.dev/faq - How often it checks
- YesCustomer-set frequency, daily at the top end, weekly recommended; the comparison table ticks AI Search Auto Monitoring on all three paid tiers and crosses it out on the trial.
The frequency of checks depends on your preferences. You can set up daily updates if needed.
ziptie.dev/faq - Card required to start
- PartlyThe Terms of Service require a card at registration, while the live trial signup form asks only for name, e-mail and password.
A credit card is required at the time of registration.
ziptie.dev/terms-of-service - Self-serve signup
- YesAll three published plans check out from the pricing page and the trial starts from a signup form; only a custom plan routes to contact.
