Beam Us Up vs SEO Crawler

Beam Us Up is a downloadable SEO spider crawler that runs on a computer. The maker describes it as completely free with no limits. It checks links, redirects, duplicate content, headings, metadata, sitemaps, crawl depth, blocked URLs and Google PageSpeed. Version 2.0 reports whether robots.txt permits or blocks 27 search engines and AI bots, and can render JavaScript pages through Chrome or Edge installed on the computer. Two crawls can be compared to identify fixed, new and remaining problems and page changes, with comparison data exported as CSV files in a ZIP. The maker says version 2.0 can crawl sites with 100,000 or more pages. Command-line mode writes a JSON report and returns an error code when selected problems appear. Optional checks cover security headers and SSL certificates. MCP connections to listed AI assistants are supported. Browser passwords remain in memory only while the app is open.

SEO Crawler monitors website link health and technical SEO conditions. Its crawler checks broken links, SSL certificates, sitemap coverage, redirects, SEO signals, and orphan pages, and it can render JavaScript sites built with React, Vue, Next.js, or single-page applications. AI analysis can suggest redirect mappings and links for orphan pages, then score and prioritize issues. Paid plans support scheduled crawls, with email alerts for detected problems. Exports include CSV link data, PDF reports, and Markdown page-content files on Pro and Agency. Agency adds an API for programmatic crawls, result retrieval, domain-status monitoring, webhooks, and report exports. Crawling currently covers publicly accessible pages; login-protected areas are described as roadmap work. A crawl stops once its plan URL limit is reached and analyzes the pages collected so far. Plans are Free at free, Solo at $19 a month, Pro at $49 a month, and Agency at $149 a month. The product offers web and API access, with one domain and 100 URLs per manual crawl on Free.
