How we grade them

Value for money
BGraded against its alternatives. Professional is $349 for a year, about $29.10 a month, or $19.95 a month if you pay $717 for three years. That's about a quarter of what Semrush or Ahrefs charge, with no caps on keywords, crawls or backlinks.
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
CA free version with no time limit, but it saves nothing: 1 project, 500 URLs audited, 1,100 backlinks and 1 competitor. Good for a look, not for ongoing work, and there's no trial of the paid plans.
CNo free plan, but the 14-day trial needs no card and works like Sitebulb Pro on the desktop.
Features
BRank tracking with 20+ keyword tools, full site audits with a content editor, backlink analysis with a disavow file generator, and link outreach from a built-in email client. The whole job, with nothing capped on paid plans.
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. Four separate desktop apps, each with plenty of settings, is a lot to learn before you're quick.
BNo rating on record, but this is the friendly crawler: install it, start an audit, and each problem comes ranked by priority and explained in plain terms.
Platforms and integrations
CPrograms for Windows, Mac and Linux, linked to Search Console, Google Analytics and Dropbox, with cloud storage for 20 projects on Professional. 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.

Who each one suits

SEO PowerSuite

  • SEO specialists who prefer desktop software without keyword or crawl caps
  • Agencies producing white-label SEO reports
  • Link builders who want prospecting and outreach in one place

Sitebulb

  • SEO consultants and agencies who want audits explained for clients
  • Freelancers auditing small sites on a low monthly budget
  • Teams that need to crawl very large sites from the cloud

Worth knowing

SEO PowerSuite

  • It is desktop software for Windows, macOS and Linux, not a web app; cloud storage holds 20 projects on Professional and 400 on Enterprise.
  • Licences are paid up front for 1, 2 or 3 years, and cancelling gives no refund for unused time.
  • The free version saves nothing and audits 500 URLs; Professional prints reports with watermarks, and white-label reports need Enterprise.
  • Each of the four apps is also sold on its own, from $149 a year for WebSite Auditor Professional.

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.
