Which one is for you
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
Pick Siteliner if
- Fits if your site is small and you want to find text repeated across its own pages
- Works for occasional bigger scans paid by the page rather than by the month
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free, at 250 pages once every 30 days per site
- Too light for checking copies on other websites, which is Copyscape's job
- Pricey if you scan big sites often, at 1¢ a page, so $300 for a 30,000-page scan
- Watch out: summary reports are kept for 185 days and page reports for 60
How we grade them
| 2.2GPASiteGuruFair | 2.4GPASitelinerFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CSmall is $39 a month billed annually ($49 monthly) for 5 websites, above this category's middle of $29. Users are unlimited, but the dearer plans add only websites, competitor analyses and support, not bigger audits. | CPremium has no subscription: each page scanned costs 1¢ from prepaid credits, up to 30,000 pages. A 5,000-page scan is $50, where Spotibo's Lite crawls 5,000 URLs a month for $14. |
| Free plan and trial | CA 6-week trial with no card and no automatic billing, then a free plan. The pricing page doesn't say what that free plan keeps, so we can't count on it. | CA free scan of a site's 250 most prominent pages, with no sign-up. But it's once every 30 days per site, so you can't re-check straight after a fix. |
| Features | CWeekly crawls, indexation and hreflang checks, structured data, content decay, AI referral traffic, internal links and backlink monitoring. The gap is size: every plan caps audits at 5,000 pages and 2,500 keywords per site. | CInternal duplicate content with the matching passages highlighted, broken internal links, Page Power scores, skipped-page reports and an XML sitemap. It does that job fully, but it's a smaller job, and duplicates on other websites need Copyscape. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. It hands you a to-do list rather than raw crawl data, but you still connect Search Console and Google Analytics before most reports work. | BNo rating on record. You type in a site address and the scan runs, with no account and nothing to set up. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb only. It connects to Search Console, Google Analytics and Slack, with webhooks and MCP access for Claude and ChatGPT. No desktop or phone app. | BWeb only, with no app. Premium has a JSON API, at 1¢ a request for up to 100 rows. |
| Best for | audit to-do lists for small agencies | finding text repeated across your own site |

Worth knowing
SiteGuru

- The three paid plans share the same page, keyword and audit limits; they differ in websites, competitor analyses and support.
- The pricing page does not say what the free plan keeps after the 6-week trial.
Siteliner

- The free scan stops at 250 pages and can be run on a site only once every 30 days.

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.
