What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 10 of the 83 other technical SEO tools we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about Oncrawl, taken from its own pages and our grades.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No 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. |
| Free plan and trial | F | Nothing free on record: no free plan, and the site offers no free trial. You start with a demo. |
| Features | B | A 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. |
| Ease of use | C | No 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. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web 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. |
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 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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- SEO teams on e-commerce, media and listing sites with millions of pages
- Teams that want crawl data and server logs analyzed together
- Agencies running technical audits on large client sites
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.
Part 02 · Pricing
What it costs
Every plan, the free plan, ways to pay less and how prices have moved

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 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.
