Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

The report card
Best for one-off checks of robots.txt, hreflang and schema
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
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 TechnicalSEO.com Tools is for
- Fits if you want a quick one-off check on a robots.txt or hreflang tag
- Works for people who already crawl with another tool and need a tester for one problem
Who it is not for
- Too light for ongoing audits, as there is no crawler or monitor
- Skip it if you want alerts or history, because each tester gives one result at a time
- Watch out: the site publishes no pricing or terms for the tools, so their future cost is unknown
- Not for you if you want an app or an API, as it is web only
Good to know
Good for
- SEOs who need a quick one-off check of robots.txt, hreflang or rendering
- Developers checking how a page is presented to search crawlers
Worth knowing
- The site publishes no pricing or plan information, so cost could not be confirmed.
- These are separate single-purpose testers, not a site-wide crawler or monitor.
- The site footer credits Merkle Inc. and the developer Max Prin.
Part 02 · Pricing
What it costs

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
TechnicalSEO.com Tools is free, so making your own would save you nothing.
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.
What you could make
- Schema markup: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A crawler that checks every page of a site.
What this rests on. TechnicalSEO.com Tools’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.
