Reports cover technical SEO, readiness for AI search, site speed, WCAG accessibility and custom metrics. It is aimed at enterprise teams and sold by quote.

- **Category:** Technical SEO & Site Audits
- **Made by:** Lumar (since 2010)
- **Website:** https://www.lumar.io

## Pricing

Lumar's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site.


## Key features

- **Cloud crawler:** Crawls run in the cloud at up to 450 URLs a second, or 350 rendered, with schedules, speed limits and a safeguard that pauses a crawl when failures pass a set rate.
- **Analyze:** Lumar says Analyze has 350+ built-in reports on technical SEO, AI search readiness, site speed and accessibility, plus custom extractions from page HTML.
- **Monitor:** Follows key metrics across several domains, site sections or country sites on shared dashboards, with alerts when new issues appear.
- **Protect:** Runs automated SEO, speed and accessibility tests on new code, and can stop a build in GitHub, Jenkins, CircleCI or Azure DevOps when a test fails.
- **GEO and AI visibility:** Reports on what may keep pages out of AI search answers and tracks brand mentions and sentiment on AI platforms, with AI-written suggestions.
- **Accessibility and speed:** Tests pages against WCAG 2.2 levels A to AAA, and runs Lighthouse reports at scale alongside origin-level Chrome UX Report data.

## Good for

- Enterprise SEO teams crawling sites with hundreds of thousands of pages or more
- Development teams that want SEO checks to block a release in their CI/CD pipeline
- Brands tracking many domains or country sites from one dashboard

## Worth knowing

- No prices are published: the pricing page is a quote form, and packages are built from the apps and metrics a team picks.
- Accounts have limits on active projects and on URLs crawled per billing period, set in each contract.
- No free plan or free trial is mentioned on the site; access starts with a demo or a quote.
- SEO and GEO professional services are sold as a separate monthly contract.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.0 out of 4**, graded Oct 23, 2026. Lumar is a cloud crawler for very large sites: up to 450 URLs a second, 350+ reports, and a Protect app that can stop a code release when an SEO test fails. You can't see a price or try it first, though. It's quote-only, with no free plan or trial, and crawl limits are set in each contract.

- **Value for money: C.** No price is published. Lumar's pricing page is a quote form, so you only find out what it costs on a sales call, with packages built from the apps and metrics you pick. With no figure to compare, it sits at the ordinary grade.
- **Free plan and trial: F.** Nothing free on record: the site mentions no free plan and no trial. Access starts with a demo or a quote.
- **Features: B.** Crawls up to 450 URLs a second, with 350+ reports on technical SEO, AI search readiness, speed and WCAG accessibility. Monitor follows many domains, and Protect tests new code in GitHub, Jenkins, CircleCI or Azure DevOps. Nothing in the listing shows a gap in the core job.
- **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. It's four apps on one crawler, with projects, crawl schedules, speed limits and custom extractions to set up, and access goes through a demo first.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, with no desktop or phone app. It links to Search Console, Google Analytics, Adobe Analytics, Looker Studio, GitHub, Splunk, Slack and Zapier, and has a public API.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** Nothing Lumar does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 7 things listed below take a company. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 64 of the 83 other technical SEO tools grade higher.

- You could not: A crawler that checks every page of a site.
- You could not: The same prompts asked of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI answers every day, and the answers kept.
- You could not: Speed tests run from real browsers on a schedule.
- You could not: Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Google Search Console, Google Analytics and Adobe Analytics among them, and has an API.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.

A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it.
