Integrity review (2026): is the free plan enough?
Mac link checker, free for personal use, with paid SEO editions
Integrity report card
Good · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 23, 2026
Best for free broken-link checks on a Mac
Integrity is a Mac app that crawls a site and finds broken links and images, free for personal use, with paid editions from $20 once. The free one only checks links, with no export, though. It's Mac-only, and scheduled scans or login-protected sites need the maker's $149 Scrutiny app instead.
Who Integrity is for
- Fits if you have a Mac and want a free broken-link check of a personal site
- Makes sense if you'd rather pay $20 or $59 once than a monthly fee
Who Integrity is not for
- Skip it if you're on Windows or want it in a browser, as it's macOS only
- Tight if you stay free, with no export, search, sitemaps or SEO checks, and business use asked to pay
- Not for you if you need scheduled scans, logins or client reports, which need the maker's $149 Scrutiny
- Watch out: licences are per user, so a team buys one each
Why Integrity gets a 2.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- AValue for moneyIntegrity Plus is $20 once and Pro $59 once, per user, both far under a year of this category's middle subscription of $29 a month. The free edition costs nothing for personal use.
- BFree plan and trialFree for personal use with no restrictions on scans, so one person could live on it for a personal site. It only checks links, though, with no export, search, sitemaps or SEO checks, and business users are asked to buy.
- CFeaturesChecks every link and image, including soft 404s, and Pro adds SEO warnings, HTML validation, spelling and JavaScript rendering. The gap: scheduled scans, login-protected sites and client reports need Scrutiny, the maker's $149 app.
- BEase of useNo rating on record. It's a Mac app you open, give a starting address and run, with nothing to set up first.
- DPlatforms and integrationsMac only, on macOS 11.5 or later. There's no web or Windows version and no integrations on record.

Keep it
Nothing Integrity does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 2 things listed below take a company.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 56 of the 83 other technical SEO tools we grade. It costs $20, paid once.
What you could not
- A crawler that checks every page of a site.
- A real app for macOS. Something home-made would be a web page.
What this rests on. Integrity’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Integrity?
Integrity is a native Mac app that crawls a website and reports broken internal and external links, including images and soft 404s.

The paid editions are one-off purchases.
Worth knowing

- The free edition is for personal use and cannot export results; business users are asked to buy Plus or Pro.
