- Works for teams that want crawl data and server logs read together
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you want a price before a demo, as none is published
- Skip it if you want to try it first, since the site offers no free plan or trial
- Tight if you render JavaScript or audit Core Web Vitals, at 3 or 5 tokens a URL against a monthly quota
- Watch out: deleted crawls still use their tokens, and advanced settings need a verified domain
Pick Redirection.io if

- Works for sites mid-migration that need to see which old URLs still return 404s
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free, at 10 rules, 1 day of logs and 10,000 log lines a day
- Pricey if you need support, segments or rule compliance tests, which start at €150 a month on Pro
- Watch out: the crawler runs on credits bought separately, €22 for 50,000 pages
- Not for you if nobody can install its agent, server module or edge integration and a hosted instance won't do
- Watch out: prices are in euros before VAT, each plan covers one project, and Starter has no setup help

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.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
