TechnicalSEO.com offers browser testers for robots.txt, hreflang, rendering, schema and a few other checks, listed as free to use. Each one does a single check, so it won't crawl or monitor a site, and the site publishes no pricing or plan information at all. - **Value for money: B.** Listed as free with no price shown, so there is nothing to compare against the category's $13 cheaper quarter. We hold it at B because the site gives no pricing page to confirm that. - **Free plan and trial: B.** The tools are listed as free to use with no sign-up on the pages we read, but the site states no plan or limits either way. - **Features: C.** Separate testers for crawling, rendering, mobile, international and local checks. They are single-purpose tools, not a site-wide crawler or monitor. - **Ease of use: B.** No store rating on record. You paste a URL into a tester and read the result, with nothing to set up. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, with no apps, API or integrations listed. These are ToolGPA's own grades.

And it is not the kind of software a weekend replaces. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 59 of the 87 other technical SEO tools we grade. - You could make: Schema markup: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: A crawler that checks every page of a site.
