Sitebulb is a website crawler for Windows and Mac that actually audits your site for you, presenting comprehensive lists of prioritised, context-specific hints that bubble up important issues. Sitebulb's intuitive visualizations help you understand deep-rooted issues and better communicate complex ideas with your clients or colleagues.
I used Sitebulb for one month during the Beta period. Very nice product at launch that I'm certain will be updated regularly and become even more valuable over time.
Pros:Beautiful UI. Impressive visualizations and charts make for easy reporting. Great tool for quickly assessing the SEO health of a large site.
Cons:Currently no custom extraction feature (or I missed it)
It's a beautiful product for advanced technical SEO that you can feel confident using. It provides solid recommendations and is very easy to use. I picked it up in a matter of minutes.
Pros:Clean interface and really good reporting
Cons:It's a bit slower than some other crawlers
I've been fortunate enough to be able to test out @Sitebulb as part of the beta release and I am also a long term user of @urlprofiler (also by Gareth and Patrick)
This is a great tool and I have had very few issues crawling sites in excess of 100k URLs
Pros:Crawl Map Visualisations, Easy to understand reports
Cons:White label Reporting for Agencies
Ive been using this as a beta user for some time and for the price you arent going to find anything else that points you in the right direction like sitebulb does. It makes complex technical issue easier to understand and the exports are super organised.
Pros:Simple to use. Easy to understand
Cons:Segmentation ;)
Sitebulk is easily lives up to their homepage statements of being the most "powerful website crawler with the world's most insightful reporting system".
I've used plenty of other website crawlers, but Sitebulb has the most options to integrate with other tools like Moz, Google Analytics, Majestic, etc. Having access to all this data in one place is absolutely priceless.
If you're not a subscriber already, you should be. Especially if you do a lot of audits and use several different tools to compile data to give your clients actionable items.
Pros:Amazing UI. Fantastic visuals and reporting.
Cons:If you need a fast site crawl, this tool isn't for you.
I've worked with Botify, screaming frog, the link-assistant tool, seomator, raven, moz and others. I think all of them? This is very much the audit tool that I've been looking for.
Pros:Beautifully presented actionable data. Clear. Easy to use. Fast. No limits to usage. Low system resource guzzling.
Cons:One or two very minor reporting issues. Fully expect these to be fixed soon.
Started to use Sitebulb when they launched their public beta. Definitely a good alternative to other similar tools with a bit of extra (=crawlmaps). Interesting to see the evolution of this product.
Pros:Crawlmaps <3, good visualisations, covers most things you need
Cons:No custom extraction (yet), would be nice to be able to change the colors to match our agencys branding
I can't recommend Sitebulb highly enough to anyone involved in SEO. It's also great for development teams to ensure that any changes made don't have an impact on site crawlability.
Pros:Really, really in-depth data especially around internal link architecture
Cons:Not that I kind find :-)
I've been using Sitebulb during the beta period, and found it really useful for any projects involving SEO, whether that's doing a quick overview and check, or a full website audit.
I've used most of the competitors, and it seems to be the best yet for being able to run a full website crawl and analysis in a way that's easy to understand and share. Which means I can easily use it to demonstrate to clients without having to explain reams of spreadsheets (which is nice).
Crawled urls by depth is a really nice addition to help locate bottlenecks with navigation and internal linking
Pros:Nice visualisations which are easy to understand or send straight to clients.
Covers everything from tiny to pretty big sites
Cons:Adding sharable client reports and page type segments are on the way, and I can't wait.....
The tool is really useful and affordable, and having been a part of the beta the development team was super responsive and active in getting / responding to feedback and making updates, and are obviously users / smart SEOs themselves so I'm sure the tool will continue to evolve and offer more cool / valuable features over time.
Pros:As others have mentioned the crawl visualizations are unique and super helpful for diagnosing issues with site structure
Cons:I don't have any issues with the tool but there is overlap with tools like Deep Crawl and Screaming Frog (I have started to use all three)
