Which one is for you
Pick CrawlCenter if
- Fits if you own a small site and want on-page basics checked for little or nothing
- Works for one-off checks with its 46 stand-alone tools, which need no account
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if your pages are built with JavaScript, which the crawler ignores
- Watch out: it doesn't follow redirects, so redirected URLs show as pages without titles or canonicals
- Tight if you stay free, at one 50-URL project with ads
- Too light for sites past 2,000 URLs, the Silver cap per project
- Watch out: its pricing page offers refunds for 14 days, its FAQ for 1, and the footer still reads 2021
Pick Siteliner if
- Fits if your site is small and you want to find text repeated across its own pages
- Works for occasional bigger scans paid by the page rather than by the month
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free, at 250 pages once every 30 days per site
- Too light for checking copies on other websites, which is Copyscape's job
- Pricey if you scan big sites often, at 1¢ a page, so $300 for a 30,000-page scan
- Watch out: summary reports are kept for 185 days and page reports for 60
How we grade them
| 2.4GPACrawlCenterFair | 2.4GPASitelinerFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | ASilver is $3 a month for 10 projects of up to 2,000 URLs each, well under 60% of this category's cheaper quarter of $13. | CPremium has no subscription: each page scanned costs 1¢ from prepaid credits, up to 30,000 pages. A 5,000-page scan is $50, where Spotibo's Lite crawls 5,000 URLs a month for $14. |
| Free plan and trial | CThe free Basic plan has every report and unlimited crawls, but 1 project of 50 URLs, shown with ads, and the project can be deleted only once a month. | CA free scan of a site's 250 most prominent pages, with no sign-up. But it's once every 30 days per site, so you can't re-check straight after a fix. |
| Features | C15+ reports on content, titles, descriptions, headings, robots tags, canonicals, broken links, status codes, alt text and response times. The gaps: it ignores JavaScript content, doesn't follow redirects, and Silver stops at 2,000 URLs a project. | CInternal duplicate content with the matching passages highlighted, broken internal links, Page Power scores, skipped-page reports and an XML sitemap. It does that job fully, but it's a smaller job, and duplicates on other websites need Copyscape. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. You register, create a project and run the crawler. Redirected URLs then show up as pages without titles or canonicals, which takes some reading. | BNo rating on record. You type in a site address and the scan runs, with no account and nothing to set up. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only, with no API, integrations, desktop or phone app on record. | BWeb only, with no app. Premium has a JSON API, at 1¢ a request for up to 100 rows. |
| Best for | basic on-page checks of a small site | finding text repeated across your own site |

Worth knowing
CrawlCenter

- The free plan stops at one 50-URL project and shows ads; Silver stops at 2,000 URLs per project.
- Its pages disagree on refunds: the pricing page offers 14 days, the FAQ only 1 day. The site's footer still reads 2021.

- The free scan stops at 250 pages and can be run on a site only once every 30 days.

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
