I like the idea of this tool, but for sites with flat URL structures it does not reflect the real information architecture.

A: BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) means we don’t bill you for the AI model tokens, but it doesn’t make the optimization pipeline unlimited or free on our side.
Even when the sitemap parsing, graph analysis, clustering, and scoring are executed by your AI provider via your key, there are still platform-level costs and constraints we have to manage:

For example, I use another software that allows clients to leave annotations in specific places on each web page and I read the comments and can reply back and so far. Would this be a feasible use case in you mind?

Q: benefit of creating a sitemap with VisualSite AI
What is the benefit of creating a sitemap with VisualSite AI, and what do you do after the sitemap is created?
I already have a Brilliant Directories site with a built-in sitemap feature that I submit to Google Search Console.
What additional benefits does the VisualSite AI sitemap provide compared to this?
Thanks

Q: Upgrading old lifetime plan
Hi, first of all, VisualSitemaps is a really good tool. It gives much needed clarity of site structures.
I have the old lifetime plan, I could use more pages per sitemap, is there a way for me to upgrade my existing plan to more pages in any way?

Jan 13, 2026A: Hi and thanks for your kind words..means a lot after all this time 🙏
Yes you can upgrade to higher plans and just pay the difference. 😎

Ok, that's really great! Let me send you a support request, I'm not seeing that option somehow.
how can you upgrade and pay the difference? Is that through appsumo or direct?
Always through them. But time is limited. One the deal is gone - no upgrades
