Checkbot vs SEO Site Checkup (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Checkbot if

• Fits if you check a site of under 100 URLs for broken links and bad markup before launch
• Works for developers testing a staging or localhost site, on the paid plan

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if your site runs past 100 URLs, as the free plan stops there and shows ads
• Watch out: it doesn't run JavaScript, so content added by scripts isn't checked
• Watch out: CSV and PDF exports, localhost and password-protected crawls all need Professional
• Pricey if you pay month to month, at $15 against $10 billed yearly, and a plan covers one person
• Not for you if you're not on Chrome, as the FAQ says there's no other browser version

Pick SEO Site Checkup if

• Fits if you're a freelancer looking after 3 to 15 small sites
• Works for site owners who want each SEO problem explained in plain words

Look elsewhere if

• Too light for big sites, since deep analysis watches just 50, 100 or 300 URLs
• Skip it if AI visibility is why you're here, as it starts on Webmaster at $49
• Watch out: the 7-day trial turns into a paid plan unless you cancel in time
• Not for you if you want it wired into other tools, as no integrations or API are listed

Checkbot

• It runs only in Google Chrome; the FAQ says there is no Firefox or other browser version.
• The free plan stops at 100 URLs per crawl and shows ads; localhost crawls and exports need Professional.
• It does not execute JavaScript while crawling, so content added by scripts is not tested.
• A subscription covers one person; new customers can get a full refund within 14 days.

SEO Site Checkup

• Plans cover 3, 5 or 15 sites, and deep analysis watches only 50, 100 or 300 individual URLs.
• AI visibility, AI content analysis, white-label reports and team seats are not on the Basic plan.
• The 7-day trial turns into a paid plan when it ends unless you cancel; cancelling keeps access to the end of the billing period.

Checkbot

Site-wide crawl

Crawls hundreds of pages at once from a start URL and scores them against 50+ rules drawn from Google, Mozilla and W3C guidance.

SEO checks

Finds broken links, missing or long titles and descriptions, duplicate content, canonical problems, missing image alt text, temporary redirects and sitemap issues.

Speed and security checks

Flags redirect chains, unminified or render-blocking CSS and JavaScript and missing caching or compression, plus HTTPS, mixed content and security header gaps.

Staging and localhost sites

Crawling runs on your own machine, so the paid plan can test localhost, private-network and HTTP Auth password-protected sites.

Crawl filters and quick rechecks

Limit a crawl by subdomain, folder, depth, pattern or file type, and recrawl a single page to confirm a fix.

PDF reports and CSV export

The Professional plan exports problem lists to CSV in bulk and produces PDF summary reports for clients or teammates.

SEO Site Checkup

SEO checkups

Audits any page against 70+ SEO factors, from meta tags to site structure, with plain-English explanations and steps to fix each issue.

Deep domain analysis

A full crawl of each tracked site (3, 5 or 15 by plan) for a health and domain score, plus 50 to 300 monitored URLs and weekly score monitoring.

LLM Visibility Checker

From Webmaster up, tracks how often ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and other AI engines mention your brand, in which prompts, against competitors.

Keyword tracking and research

Track 50 to 300 keyword positions across pages and countries, find top keywords and new keyword ideas, and compare against rivals.

Uptime and speed monitoring

Checks that sites stay up from 1, 3 or 5 locations and measures page load speed across key pages.

Backlinks and white-label reports

A backlinks checker follows referring domains and new links; Webmaster and Professional export branded reports for clients.
