Webtrace Fair Use Policy

Effective date: 30 August 2026

This policy forms part of the Webtrace Terms of Service. Webtrace is operated by RYFFT PRIVATE LIMITED, a company incorporated in India under CIN U14101HR2026PTC143993. This policy defines how Webtrace meters usage, what counts as one web trace, and what usage we consider abusive. The goal is simple: real designers and developers should never feel the meter; the limits exist only to keep the Free plan sustainable and to stop automated abuse.

1. What is metered

• Usage is metered in web traces, shared as one quota across the Chrome extension and the Figma plugin.
• A web trace begins when you run a metered capture in the extension or a metered import in the plugin. Capturing a page and later importing that same capture together consume one web trace, not two.

2. What counts as one web trace

• One page captured + that capture imported into Figma = 1 web trace, regardless of how many viewport × theme frames the capture contains or how many of them you select. A multi-viewport capture (e.g. 1920 + 1440 + 768 + 390, light and dark) of a single page still counts as one.
• Re-importing the same captured file again is free because the capture carries a usage receipt proving it was already counted.
• Recapturing a live page creates a new capture and counts as a new web trace.
• Importing a .wtrace file that has no usage receipt (from an older Webtrace version or external tooling) counts as one web trace at import time.
• Import options (Infer auto-layout, Create styles & variables, Combine repeated items, High-res images) do not affect the count.
• Failed or cancelled operations do not count. If the capture or import errors out before producing usable output, the reserved web trace is released back to you.

3. Free plan: 12 web traces per month

The Free plan includes 12 web traces per month, measured on a rolling 30-day window. "Rolling" means there is no monthly reset date: each web trace stops counting against you 30 days after the moment it happened. Example: if you use all 12 on August 1, your next web trace becomes available on August 31; if you spread them out, capacity returns gradually. The meter is tracked on your Webtrace account so Chrome and Figma always agree.

4. Paid plan quotas: 500 (Pro) and 1,000 (Pro Max) web traces per month

Pro includes 500 web traces per rolling 30 days and Pro Max includes 1,000 web traces per rolling 30 days, whether billed monthly or annually. The Pro Max cap alone is roughly 45 per working day, far beyond normal human use. These quotas exist to prevent the abuse patterns in Section 5, not to constrain heavy legitimate users. If you have a genuine usage volume that approaches your plan's quota, email us. We would honestly love to hear about it, and we will find a way to support it.

5. Anti-abuse

The following are violations of this policy and of the Acceptable Use section of the Terms:

• Meter circumvention: tampering with, resetting, or spoofing the usage meter, forging or altering usage receipts, or modifying the extension or plugin to exceed your plan's limits.
• Account/seat sharing: sharing one individual plan across multiple people. Plans are licensed per named user.
• Automation farming: scripted or bulk-automated import pipelines designed to extract volume far beyond interactive use.
• Resale of the meter: offering Webtrace imports as a paid service to third parties (an "import farm") rather than using them in your own or your team's work.

Enforcement is proportionate: for a first issue we will normally reach out or throttle; repeated or egregious abuse can lead to suspension or termination under the Terms. We will never penalize ordinary heavy use. The caps above are the line, not typical usage.

6. Questions and edge cases

For agencies, classrooms, hackathons, or anything unusual, email [email protected] and we will work something out.
