Beam Us Up vs WebSite Auditor

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.

WebSite Auditor is software for technical and on-page SEO auditing and website optimization. It crawls site architecture and checks HTTP status codes, broken links, HTML errors, titles, meta descriptions, and link factors.

The software generates Google-friendly XML sitemaps, can upload them through FTP and submit them to Google, Yahoo!, Bing, and Ask, and creates and manages robots.txt files via FTP. It supports 750 search engines and UTF-8 content in any language. Google Analytics traffic data and Search Console metrics can be added to projects, with clicks, impressions, CTR, and average rank available for export. The free license covers 500 URLs and one project, with no paid report exports. Professional costs $149 a year; Enterprise costs $359 a year. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows. The maker offers a seven-day trial of paid SEO PowerSuite features when requested from support.
