It starts at €399 a month, there's no self-serve sign-up, and log files and feed monitoring wait on Advanced at €549. If you want to run a crawler yourself for less, look elsewhere. - **Value for money: D.** Basic is €399 a month for up to 50,000 crawled URLs, in this category's dearest tenth, which starts at $99. Analyst-built reports and a monthly call are part of that. Each extra 50,000 URLs is €50 a month more. - **Free plan and trial: C.** No free plan. A free trial is requested through a form on the pricing page and arranged through a first call; its length isn't stated. - **Features: B.** Daily checks of 2,000 key pages, weekly full crawls with JavaScript rendering, alerts on new 404s and noindex tags, crawl comparisons and relaunch checks that match old URLs to new. It covers crawling and monitoring, with log files on Advanced. - **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. Its team builds the reports, but buying starts with a form and a call, and Search Console and Analytics are connected before it's useful. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, linked to Search Console, Google Analytics, Looker Studio and Merchant Center. No desktop or phone app, and no API on record. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from searchVIU's own pages on 23 October 2026.

What surrounds it you could not. The 3 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 $5,365.43 a year. - You could make: Reports: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: A crawler that checks every page of a site. - You could not: Millions of server log lines read to see what search bots crawl. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
