I like that it's a desktop client actually. I like it that I can stop something myself, rather than have some bot out of my control tear into a web site, consuming all it's content.
The biggest difference between DeepCrawl and Screaming Frog is cost. Screaming Frog is significantly cheaper, and fits within a budget much easier. For most websites that aren't huge it crawls quicker to. DeepCrawl is the better tool for analysing larger websites and is easier …
Please note that, while Screaming Frog is a great tool for scanning the website all it is, is a tool that scans the website. For deeper analysis or for keyword analysis, please take a look at tools like Semrush and Ahrefs for your medium size business, or Conductor for a …
Even though Screaming Frog is the industry standard, that doesn't mean that it's without its flaws. The crawl visualization is sub-par compared to Sitebulb, and the UX/UI looks like it's from the 90s and hasn't been updated since then. Tools like DeepCrawl and Sitebulb are …
Screaming Frog provides some similar benefits as the other tools but offers a wealth of other scanning options that the other tools don’t. I like how every scan of a URL (yours, a competitor’s, or any URL) provides 30+ points of data. The other tools offer other benefits that …
Screaming Frog cannot return specific metrics such as domain authority or majestic stats and often the number of linking domains is off, while Netpeak can return almost any metrics you would like to see. Screaming Frog is vastly more controllable and user friendly than custom …
Screaming Frog SEO Spider does so much...a lot of these tools, in theory, should be used together because they lend big picture insights. But Screaming Frog SEO Spider is excellent because it can work directly with tools like Google Analytics.
There aren't many direct competitors for Screaming Frog SEO Spider that I've found. Tools such as Moz provide similar outcomes, but in a completely different manner and with a different workflow. I can't really compare them.
The choice to go with Screaming Frog was really mostly about price and the fact that it does almost the same exact thing. There are a few things that DeepCrawl does that Screaming Frog doesn't, but it wasn't worth the increase in price.
Screaming Frog has a free version, so it competes with the paid programs (like Moz) solely in the fact that it can be used without incurring a budget line item. Compared to many other programs that also offer free scans, Screaming Frog is fast and much more customizable. Since …
Screaming Frog is far superior to the host of free crawling tools available online and does not limit you to a certain number of pages as many other tools do. We were looking for just a crawling tool and not a more robust SEO tool like Moz, so this was perfect for us.
I use several tools that can do much of what Screaming Frog can do - SEMRush and SEO PowerSuite. However, for what we use Screaming Frog for, it is the best tool. During a 15-minute phone call with a potential new client, I can crawl the site and determine what shape the site …
Screaming Frog seems to be the most thorough at crawling a website. Almost too thorough ;). But it is spreadsheet-like and so allows sorting and filtering in a simple way. But in general, with Screaming Frog I trust that it gets everything when it crawls a website.
Screaming Frog is different than a tool like SEMRush. It is a crawler that allows you to see the data like Google would see it when they crawl your site. A tool like SEMRush, or MOZ, gives you more analysis around SEO for the website you are reviewing. I wouldn't want to be …
Our company also uses Website Auditor from the SEO PowerSuite by LinkAssistant and it's a great tool with a lot of fancy features and even an IA (information architecture) visualization which shows you how your website looks and how your pages interconnect.
Authority Labs is good for a limited function--tracking keyword rankings (though its keyword suggestion capability has recently improved as well) but doesn't do the page crawling that Screaming Frog does. Serpstat and SEMRush both have a lot more functions but also cost …
The HTML-heavy little platform, Screaming Frog, is my favorite crawler compared to DeepCrawl and SEMRush. Partially precisely due to the fact that the tool doesn't try to give me recommendations or tell me what to do. Many similar tools go above and beyond to prescribe …
Screaming Frog is a downloadable desktop app. Its minimalist design makes for a straight forward seamless site crawling SEO experience. We use all these products and Screaming Frog fits in nicely as a member of our SEO product team. Each product has its strengths and weaknesses …
The tools I mentioned are in the same space, tools for SEO, but aren't website scrapers like Screaming Frog. We haven't found another tool that we like as much for providing simple and straight forward insights about a website.
SEMRush is a much more robust tool for SEO. It wouldn't necessarily be fair to compare the two since SEMRush has many other features. However, Screaming Frog SEO Spider is able to turn out a much quicker report on the website's URL structure and makes it perfect for getting …
We tried also Netpeak Spider. Good alternative to Screaming Frog. Right now we are comparing these two because Spider can do almost everything that Screaming Frog does. A huge plus for Screaming Spider is that it's very stable; we work with very big projects with it (10-20 …
SEMRush is not a dedicated on-demand SEO crawler like Screaming Frog. SEMRush is more of a digital marketing suite that happens to offer SEO crawling along with other marketing tools. As such, it's much more of a commitment; which you'll notice with a monthly cost versus a …
