The crawler is just mandatory if you don't want to penalize the site with long response times or to prevent serving 5xx pages the first day you launch your Ajax site in production. BTW, be prepared for headaches, they are some surprises when dealing with search engines and their escaped_fragment implementation ;). Anyway, welcome on the SEO for Ajax SaaS providers (disclaimer: I'm one of the SEO4Ajax co-founder).

Cool, ill be interested in seeing what you start charging after the beta :) Good luck with it, its reassuring that im not the only one to have thought this to be a good idea.

If you are interested by the pricing you can have a look at prerender, brombone, getseojs, ajaxsnapshots or blitline. You'll see that it varies a lot.

Yep, I thought brombone had an interesting pricing model :) I wonder if they managed to get any signups.
