Frequently asked questions
Is Stekpad really free?+
Yes. The Chrome extension is free forever for personal use with unlimited recipes and local runs. You get 100 AI inferences per month on Free. Upgrade only if you need more inferences, cloud scheduling, or paid integrations.
Does Stekpad work on any website?+
Any website you can open in Chrome. That includes static HTML, React/Vue/Svelte SPAs, and authenticated pages you are already logged into (LinkedIn, Gmail, Stripe, HubSpot, Notion, etc.).
Will my LinkedIn account get restricted?+
Stekpad scrapes from your real browser and your real IP, which is the safest way to scrape authenticated pages. Our safe-pacing defaults keep you below LinkedIn's normal rate limits. Aggressive usage can still trigger restrictions — use common sense.
Can I use Stekpad from my phone?+
No. Stekpad is a Chrome extension and requires a desktop or laptop Chrome install. If you need scheduled cloud runs, the Cloud plan runs recipes on our managed browsers without your laptop being on.
What is the MCP server?+
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) server exposes every saved Stekpad recipe as a tool that AI agents (Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT) can call. See /docs/mcp-server for setup.
How do I cancel?+
From the dashboard, click Settings → Billing → Cancel subscription. Paid plans cancel at the end of the current billing period. Lifetime deals are non-refundable after 14 days.
Is my data secure?+
Stekpad never uploads your cookies, session tokens, or scraped content to our servers. Everything stays on your machine unless you explicitly connect a destination (Sheets, Notion, etc.). Read /legal/privacy for details.
Can I share recipes with my team?+
On Pro, you can export recipes as JSON files and import them on any other machine. On Agency, recipes are shared live across teammates in the same workspace.
