Which one is for you
Pick Netpeak Software if
- Fits if you'd rather own a desktop crawler than rent a web suite, with lifetime licences from $496
- Works for checking hundreds of domains against Ahrefs or Moz metrics at once
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need rank tracking or keyword research, which none of the apps does
- Not for you if you're on a Mac and need Checker, as it runs on Windows only
- Tight if you want several apps, since each is bought separately and bundles are yearly only
- Watch out: Limonity Backlinks only watches links you add; it doesn't find new backlinks
- Pricey if you want Limonity On-Page, at $99 a month per user, and there's no web or phone version
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
How we grade them
| 2.4GPANetpeak SoftwareFair | 2.6GPASitebulbGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BGraded against other desktop crawlers. Spider Pro is $193 a year, about $16 a month, or $496 once for a lifetime licence. That's under Screaming Frog's $279 a year and close to Sitebulb Lite at $18 a month. Each other app is bought separately. | BGraded against its alternatives. Lite is $180 a year, $15 a month, for 1 user and 10,000 URLs per audit, cheaper than Screaming Frog's $279 and far under Semrush or Ahrefs. Pro, with scheduling and comparisons, is $425 a year. |
| Free plan and trial | BFree editions of Spider and Checker with no time limit. Spider crawls up to 500 URLs with 5 threads, so a small site can live on it; Checker stops at 20 URLs. The paid apps get a 3-day trial. | CNo free plan, but the 14-day trial needs no card and works like Sitebulb Pro on the desktop. |
| Features | CSpider does the crawling job fully, with JavaScript rendering, custom extraction, internal PageRank and white-label PDF audits, and Checker pulls 450+ metrics in bulk. But there's no rank tracking or keyword research, and Limonity Backlinks only checks links you add. | CIt does the audit job fully: 100+ hints on Lite or 300+ on Pro, JavaScript crawling on every plan, crawl maps and MCP. But auditing is one slice of SEO, and Lite lacks scheduling, comparisons and several report types. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. Install it and point it at a URL, but reading a crawl takes technical SEO knowledge, and scraping runs on regex, XPath or CSS selectors. | BNo rating on record, but there's little to set up: install it, start an audit, and each problem comes ranked by priority with an explanation in plain terms. |
| Platforms and integrations | CPrograms for Windows and macOS, with Checker on Windows only, linked to Google Analytics, Search Console, Sheets, Drive, Ahrefs, Moz, Similarweb and Serpstat. Computers only, with no web or phone version. | BDesktop apps for Windows and Mac plus Sitebulb Cloud in the browser, with Google Analytics, Search Console, Sheets, Looker Studio, Claude and ChatGPT. The cloud version is priced separately, from $125 a month. |

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.
