Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 20 of the 83 other technical SEO tools we grade
JetOctopus is a cloud platform for technical SEO on large sites. It crawls with JavaScript rendering, reads server logs to show how Googlebot and AI crawlers such as GPTBot and ClaudeBot move through a site, and joins both with Search Console, GA4 and Ahrefs data. Plans are priced by URLs crawled and log lines processed each month, with unlimited projects and seats.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about JetOctopus, taken from its own pages and our grades.
- 1
Best for log and crawl analysis for big sites
JetOctopus crawls with JavaScript rendering and reads server logs to show how Googlebot and 40+ search and AI bots use your site, with unlimited seats and projects.

Crawls with JavaScript rendering to compare what bots and users see, with crawl-to-crawl comparison, segmentation and unlimited simultaneous crawls.
- 7

The report card
Best for log and crawl analysis for big sites
JetOctopus crawls with JavaScript rendering and reads server logs to show how Googlebot and 40+ search and AI bots use your site, with unlimited seats and projects. The catch is the price: Growth is $349 a month on annual billing, or $459 paid quarterly, and there's no monthly option or free plan.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D | Growth is $349 a month billed annually ($459 quarterly) for 500,000 URLs, in this category's dearest tenth. Seats and projects are unlimited, about $69.80 a head for a team of five, but one person pays the full $349. |
| Free plan and trial | C | No free plan, but the 7-day trial of every module needs no card. It's capped at 10,000 URLs, 3 months of Search Console data and 500-row exports. |
| Features | B | A JavaScript crawler with crawl comparison, logs from Nginx, Apache, Cloudflare, Fastly, Akamai, Vercel or Shopify, Search Console data past Google's 1,000-row and 16-month limits, an AI internal linker and alerts. The listing shows no gap in the core job. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. You connect logs, Search Console and GA4 and set up segments before the reports say much. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web only, with no desktop or phone app. It connects to Search Console, GA4, Ahrefs, Cloudflare, Fastly, Akamai, BigQuery and Looker Studio, and has an API and an MCP server. |
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 JetOctopus is for
- Fits if you run an e-commerce or listing site with millions of URLs
- Works for agencies that need unlimited seats and projects across client sites
Who it is not for
- Pricey if you're one person or a small site, at $349 a month even on annual billing
- Watch out: quarterly billing costs about 30% more, $459 against $349 a month on Growth
- Tight if you're judging it on the trial, which stops at 10,000 URLs and 500-row exports
- Not for you if you want a refund safety net, as refunds cover only duplicate purchases and faults on JetOctopus's side
Good to know
Good for
- E-commerce and listing sites with millions of URLs
- SEO teams that want server logs and crawl data side by side

Worth knowing

- Paying quarterly instead of annually costs about 30% more, for example $459 against $349 a month on Growth.
- Agency plans are $409, $809 and $1,729 a month billed annually, with more GSC properties and lifetime data but lower log-line caps.
- Refunds are limited to duplicate purchases and modules that could not be used because of a problem on JetOctopus's side.

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
The plain part of JetOctopus you could make: internal linking. What surrounds it you could not. The 6 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 43 of the 83 other technical SEO tools grade higher. It costs $4,188 a year.
What you could make
- Internal linking: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A crawler that checks every page of a site.
- Millions of server log lines read to see what search bots crawl.
- The same prompts asked of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI answers every day, and the answers kept.
- It plugs into other products, Google Search Console, Google Analytics 4 and Ahrefs among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. JetOctopus’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.
