AuditLabs SEO Log File Analyzer vs Log File Bot Traffic Cost Analyzer

AuditLabs SEO Log File Analyzer examines web server access logs to identify AI bot traffic, referrals from language-model services, and crawler behavior. It detects bots including GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and Perplexity, and can identify referrals from ChatGPT and Claude. Crawl analysis covers patterns, session depth, and navigation flows. Upload formats include CSV with headers, JSON, JSON Lines, Apache/nginx combined logs, and Cloudflare logs. Users can preview files and map columns so fields are detected correctly. A detailed report is available to download, but full results require a free account. AuditLabs estimates processing times from 10–30 seconds for files under 100 MB to 3–15 minutes for files above 1 GB. Free accounts allow 20 standard runs and 2 heavy runs per month, with 1.5 GB maximum per upload. Supporter costs $7.99 a month and includes 200 tool runs monthly, uploads up to 3.5 GB, priority processing, and email support. AuditLabs says its tools are built by SEO practitioner Antonio Maculus, Director of AI Content Strategy at Better Collective.

Log File Bot Traffic Cost Analyzer examines server logs to summarize AI bot traffic, estimate costs, measure crawl budget, and prepare edge rules. It lists 127 bot signatures and 18 browser patterns, with bandwidth, IPs, and time to first byte by category. Verification uses vendor IP data, TLS, cloud ASN heuristics, and behavior; heuristic results are labeled low confidence, and optional reverse DNS through DoH is listed. Cost estimates use measured bytes and CDN pricing presets, with copyable rules for Cloudflare, Fastly, and AWS. Other modules cover crawl traps, rendering gaps, bot-versus-human performance, traffic bursts, 404 clusters, a GSC overlay, and security anomalies. Inputs include JSON, JSONL/NDJSON, Apache Combined, Nginx, W3C Extended, AWS ALB, Cloudflare Logpush, and gzip files. The project describes processing as client-side, with logs remaining on the user's machine; its only stated network request is for a demo file the user chooses to load. Browser analysis under 500 MB is sampled triage, CLI analysis from 500 MB to 50 GB is described as exact, and BigQuery is for 50 GB and above. It is free, MIT-licensed, and supports CSV and PDF downloads plus generated policy files.
