JetOctopus vs Sitebulb (2026): which should you pick?

Pick JetOctopus if

• Fits if you run an e-commerce or listing site with millions of URLs
• Works for agencies that need unlimited seats and projects across client sites

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you're one person or a small site, at $349 a month even on annual billing
• Watch out: quarterly billing costs about 30% more, $459 against $349 a month on Growth
• Tight if you're judging it on the trial, which stops at 10,000 URLs and 500-row exports
• Not for you if you want a refund safety net, as refunds cover only duplicate purchases and faults on JetOctopus's side

Pick Sitebulb if

• Fits if you want each audit finding ranked by priority with an explanation of what to do
• Works for freelancers auditing sites under 10,000 URLs, from $180 a year on Lite

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if your site is big, as Lite stops at 10,000 URLs per audit and lacks scheduling, comparisons and several reports
• Pricey if you want it in the browser, as Sitebulb Cloud starts at $125 a month and needs at least 2 users
• Skip it if you need keyword research or rank tracking, as it only audits
• Watch out: desktop crawls depend on your computer; Pro's default cap is 500,000 URLs, and more users are from $11 a month each
• Watch out: there's no free plan after the 14-day trial, and paying by invoice or purchase order is for yearly plans only

JetOctopus

• There is no free plan; the trial caps crawls at 10,000 URLs, 3 months of Search Console data and 500-row exports.
• Paying quarterly instead of annually costs about 30% more, for example $459 against $349 a month on Growth.
• Agency plans are $409, $809 and $1,729 a month billed annually, with more GSC properties and lifetime data but lower log-line caps.
• Refunds are limited to duplicate purchases and modules that could not be used because of a problem on JetOctopus's side.

Sitebulb

• Lite caps each audit at 10,000 URLs and lacks scheduling, comparisons and several report types.
• Desktop crawls are limited by the computer: Pro's default cap is 500,000 URLs, raisable to 2 million.
• Sitebulb Cloud is priced separately, from $125 a month, and needs at least 2 users.
• Purchase order and invoice payment is only for yearly plans.
