SEO audit tool that turns site crawls into a prioritized task list
Which one is for you
Pick CrawlRaven if
- Fits if you're a consultant turning Search Console data into a weekly fix list
- Works for teams that want Claude or ChatGPT to read their SEO data over MCP
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a free plan, as there's only the 7-day trial and some free tools
- Watch out: audits run within a monthly page allowance the pricing page doesn't state
- Pricey if you need CSV exports, which are on Agency at $199 a month
- Tight if you buy a lifetime plan, which keeps its 3 or 20 sites with no swaps or add-ons
- Not for you if you need keyword research, as it imports lists from Ahrefs or Semrush instead
Pick SiteGuru if
- Fits if you're a small agency sending audits to clients under your own brand
- Works for marketers who want a short list of fixes instead of a full crawl export
Look elsewhere if
- Too light for sites past 5,000 pages, the audit cap on every plan
- Watch out: the three paid plans share the same page and keyword limits, so paying more buys websites, not depth
- Skip it if you were counting on the free plan, as the pricing page doesn't say what it includes

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.
