Crawlie vs CrawlX

Crawlie is a technical SEO and GEO crawler that audits websites and offers guidance on addressing issues. It checks broken links, redirects, missing metadata, and more than 40 SEO and generative-engine issues. Each crawl returns distinct Health, GEO, and Accessibility scores, with output available in the terminal or as JSON, CSV, and shareable HTML reports. JavaScript rendering and structured data audits are supported. The open-source crawler includes an MCP server; the hosted service includes a hosted MCP server and REST API on every plan. Local options include an npm-installed CLI and MCP server, plus a signed macOS DMG for the desktop app. Hosted deploy-triggered crawls are documented for Vercel, alongside GitHub, Netlify, and custom CI hooks. The Free plan is free and includes 200 credits per month, three sites, one seat, and up to 1,000 pages per crawl. Pro is $29 a month; Business is $149 a month. Spronta Ltd makes Crawlie in London, United Kingdom.

CrawlX is a cloud SEO crawler that audits websites, orders issues by estimated impact, and can prepare fixes as GitHub pull requests. It supports spider, sitemap, and URL-list crawls, respects robots.txt by default, and streams crawl progress. Its checks cover more than 150 technical SEO issues. AI tools can draft fixes, score content, tune SERP titles and descriptions, generate schema, and suggest internal links; these features require your own Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google AI key. Proposed fixes are submitted for review: CrawlX says it does not push to the default branch or auto-merge. Integrations include Google Search Console, Google Analytics 4, PageSpeed Insights, GitHub, REST API, MCP, and webhooks; exports are available in CSV, JSON, and PDF. The Free plan is free, with 500 URLs per crawl, five crawls per month, and one project. Starter costs $19 a month and allows 10,000 URLs per crawl. CrawlX runs as cloud SaaS with no desktop application, and does not support distributed multi-worker crawling.
