Cloud SEO crawler and log analyzer for large websites
Oncrawl report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 23, 2026
Best for crawl and log analysis on large sites
Oncrawl crawls millions of URLs with JavaScript rendering and reads your server logs, so you see how Googlebot and AI bots move through a large site next to your Search Console data. There's no price on the site and no free trial. Every plan runs on a monthly token quota, and JavaScript rendering costs 3 tokens a URL.
Who Oncrawl is for
- Fits if you run an e-commerce, media or listing site with millions of pages
- Works for teams that want crawl data and server logs read together
Who Oncrawl is not for
- Not for you if you want a price before a demo, as none is published
- Skip it if you want to try it first, since the site offers no free plan or trial
- Tight if you render JavaScript or audit Core Web Vitals, at 3 or 5 tokens a URL against a monthly quota
- Watch out: deleted crawls still use their tokens, and advanced settings need a verified domain
Why Oncrawl gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyNo price is published. Plans are sold after a demo, so you only learn the cost on a sales call. Each plan carries a monthly crawl quota in tokens, and fetched URLs still use tokens even if you delete the crawl.
- FFree plan and trialNothing free on record: no free plan, and the site offers no free trial. You start with a demo.
- BFeaturesA JavaScript crawler with custom extraction and crawl comparison, unsampled log analysis from Cloudflare, AWS, Google Cloud or Azure, AI Search and Content Lenses, and Search Console, GA4 and Majestic data side by side. The listing shows no gap in the core job.
- CEase of useNo rating on record. There are logs to connect, tokens to budget (1 per URL, 3 with JavaScript, 5 with Core Web Vitals) and a domain to verify before the advanced crawl settings open up.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only. It connects to Search Console, Google Analytics, Adobe Analytics, Piano, Majestic, Cloudflare, Looker Studio and Dataiku, with a REST API, its own query language and an MCP server.

Keep Oncrawl, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Oncrawl 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: 64 of the 83 other technical SEO tools grade higher.
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.
- Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
- It plugs into other products, Google Search Console, Google Analytics and Adobe Analytics among them, and has an API.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Oncrawl’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 Oncrawl?
Oncrawl is a cloud platform for technical SEO on large and complex sites. It crawls millions of URLs with JavaScript rendering, ingests server logs to show how Googlebot, Bingbot and AI bots visit the site, and cross-references both with Search Console, analytics and backlink data. Guided reports called Lenses cover AI search citations and content quality. Plans are sold after a demo and come with a monthly crawl quota.
Worth knowing
- No prices are published; plans are sold after a demo, and no free trial is offered on the site.
- Each plan has a monthly crawl quota in tokens: 1 per URL crawled, 3 with JavaScript rendering, 5 with Core Web Vitals or accessibility audits.
- URLs fetched still use tokens even if the crawl is deleted afterwards.
- Advanced crawl settings need the domain to be verified as yours.
