Crawl Lab vs InfoCaptor

Crawl Lab is a free web toolbox for analyzing server logs and AI crawler activity. It accepts Apache and Nginx common or combined logs, including compressed.gz files, and reports crawled pages, crawl frequency, wasted crawl budget, and bot errors. The analyzer recognizes GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, Bytespider, Amazonbot, and other crawlers, checking their authenticity against official IP ranges. Processing occurs in the browser, so log files and IP addresses stay on your machine and are not uploaded or stored. No registration is required. Streaming reads allow analysis of several gigabytes or a full month of logs without a server-imposed size limit. Crawl Lab targets technical SEO practitioners concerned with SEO and generative-engine visibility. Its results show what crawlers fetched, not whether pages were indexed or how they rank. An llms.txt generator and AI citation audit are listed as coming soon. The free plan costs nothing, with no paid tier.
