Welcome

What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

2.6

GPA, above 56 of the 83 other technical SEO tools we grade

Integrity is a native Mac app that crawls a website and reports broken internal and external links, including images and soft 404s. The free edition only checks links; Integrity Plus adds search, filters, export, XML sitemaps and multiple sites, and Integrity Pro adds SEO checks, HTML validation, spell checking and JavaScript rendering. The paid editions are one-off purchases.

To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Integrity, taken from its own pages and our grades.

It's a Mac app you open, give a starting address and run, with nothing to set up first.

The report card

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.

ToolGPA report cardIntegrityGraded Oct 23, 2026
SubjectGradeComment
Value for moneyAIntegrity 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.
Free plan and trialBFree 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.
FeaturesCChecks 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.
Ease of useBNo rating on record. It's a Mac app you open, give a starting address and run, with nothing to set up first.
Platforms and integrationsDMac only, on macOS 11.5 or later. There's no web or Windows version and no integrations on record.
Grade point averageGood, out of 4.02.6

An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

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 it 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

Good to know

Good for

  • Mac users who want a quick, free broken-link check of a personal site
  • Freelancers who prefer a one-off purchase to a monthly fee
  • Generating an XML sitemap from a crawl

Worth knowing

  • It runs only on macOS 11.5 or later; older versions remain for older Macs.
  • The free edition is for personal use and cannot export results; business users are asked to buy Plus or Pro.
  • Scheduled scans, login-protected sites and client reports need Scrutiny, the maker's $149 app.
  • Licences are per user; there is no web or Windows version, only a paid online scan service.

Keep it, or make your own?

Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.

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.
