Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.8
GPA, above 5 of the 83 other technical SEO tools we grade
URL Profiler is a desktop app for Windows and Mac that takes a list of URLs and fetches data about each one into a single spreadsheet: link metrics from Moz, Majestic and Ahrefs, HTTP status, robots and canonical access, PageSpeed scores, readability, Google Analytics data and contact emails. SEOs use it for link audits, content inventories and outreach prospecting. It is sold by subscription with a 14-day trial.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about URL Profiler, taken from its own pages and our grades.

The report card
Best for bulk data on URL lists for link audits
URL Profiler takes a list of URLs on your Windows or Mac computer and fills a spreadsheet with link metrics, status codes, PageSpeed scores, readability and contact emails. The link metrics need your own Moz, Majestic or Ahrefs API access. Its pages still list PageRank, Alexa and Google+, and the newest update post on its blog is from November 2019.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Solo is $19.95 a month billed yearly ($29.95 monthly), under this category's middle of $29. The link data comes through Moz, Majestic and Ahrefs API access you set up yourself, on top of that. |
| Free plan and trial | C | No free plan, but the 14-day trial needs no card. |
| Features | D | Bulk link metrics, link audits, content inventories, status and canonical checks, PageSpeed and contact finding. The link work runs on another product's API, and its pages still list PageRank, Alexa and Google+, all long gone, with no update post since November 2019. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. You connect your Moz, Majestic or Ahrefs API access first, and it needs at least 3 GB of free memory. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Windows and Mac desktop only, with no web or phone version. It draws on Moz, Majestic, Ahrefs, Google Analytics, PageSpeed Insights and Copyscape. |
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 URL Profiler is for
- Fits if you audit long backlink lists for a penalty clean-up
- Works for building a content inventory of a site in one spreadsheet
Who it is not for
- Watch out: its pages still list PageRank, Alexa and Google+, and the newest update post is from November 2019
- Not for you if you don't have Moz, Majestic or Ahrefs API access, which the link metrics need
- Tight if you're on Solo, with 1 desktop device and 5,000 URLs per import
- Skip it if your computer is short on memory, as it needs 3 GB free and most desktops manage 50,000 to 100,000 URLs a run

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
To replace URL Profiler you would be making an index of the links between billions of web pages. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 74 of the 83 other technical SEO tools grade higher. It costs $239.40 a year.
What you could not
- An index of the links between billions of web pages.
- A crawler that checks every page of a site.
- A real app for macOS and Windows. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, Moz, Majestic and Ahrefs among them.
What this rests on. URL Profiler’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.
