“Serious SEO Audit Software”
OverallFor all encompassing SEO software aimed at big sites needing detailed audits across multiple marketing areas Sitebulb is very complete. If your machine is of good spec and you have a need for deep audits such as accessibility as well as SEO tech audits, this software is a good option despite the high price.
ProsThis is probably the most serious bit of SEO software kit I've used over the last few years. The features go way beyond the standard SEO technical audits that most tools offer. This kit also dives down into other important website metrics such as content readability, website accessibility,
ConsAs this is software that is downloaded and installed onto your local machine, you should be aware that if you are going to use full scans and all the technology available you'll need a high-spec computer. This uses a lot of RAM as well as CPU, so if you only have a low or mid-range computer (or laptop, in my case) then trying to do something else whilst the software is actively working will be difficult.
Switched FromAhrefs
Reasons for Switching to SitebulbHigher detail audits on offer, including other areas of interest such as user accessibility.

“Perfect for most SEO tasks”
OverallFor quick audits for small or big websites, is a very good piece of software at a very fair price. It's one of the most well designed SEO software you can get. For a freelancer or small SEO agency, it's arguably the best choice.
ProsBeautifully designed, helps you to determinate where to start when you need to optimize a website. Have a lots for tips, ideas and insights about what to do to improve SEO on a website. The option of run a sample audit (instead a complete audit) is one of the most useful ideas for most of SEO consultants. Also, the way that it combines data from Search Console and Google Analytics made it incredible powerful to understand the SEO potential of a website and create compelling reports.
ConsSome features to manage structured data or use multi filters are needed. Audits can't be properly exported and shared at bulk. Need to incorporate a better way to edit and manage reports.

Thanks Omar! Glad you are getting so much value from Sitebulb. We are already working on improved reporting, that will be out in the next big release. Structured data will hopefully be later this year. Feel free to chime in on our feature request board (https://features.sitebulb.com/) regarding any other suggestions.

“Great Technical SEO Tool”
OverallAt first, the program was a bit overwhelming. However, since then, the program has gone through many enhancements, and the user interface is easier.
ProsEach item is prioritized and links out to superb documentation as to why an issue is important. The site's documentation section can be accessed without an account.
ConsI wish it were easier to find pages containing certain CSS classes or scripts without putting in a specific page that already contained the code.
Reasons for Switching to SitebulbScreaming Frog is a great tool and is better for content searching. However, Sitebulb works better for me with scheduling, and they had a fully functional free trial. There was no risk in testing. I also prefer the Sitebulb monthly fee instead of the annual one. It just doesn't make sense for me to have both. Although, to be fair, I haven't used SF in over a year, so that they may have made huge changes too.

“Great product, reliable & easy to use”
OverallI use Sitebulb as an auditing tool alongside other auditing tools. I find it is more comprehensive and I love how easy it is to export the data. The information is presented beautifully.
ProsIt's super easy to use straight away, with no need to watch any kind of videos to learn how to run an audit. If you need to do some more advanced stuff, that functionality is there but doesn't get in the way of a quick & dirty audit.
ConsI can't think of anything - I'm always delighted by new features as they're rolled out and can't think of anything they're missing yet.

“Excellent tool for analyzing websites”
OverallSitebulb was very beneficial in understanding the structure and SEO state of my client's websites. For one migration project of 10 websites, we used Sitebulb to verify that the migration was successful and hadn't introduced any new issues.
ProsCompared with a lot of the tools in the SEO space, Sitebulb has a great UI and some nice visuals to help you understand the scan results. Not typically a "pro" that would get mentioned for software, but release notes for Sitebulb are usually quite entertaining to read. Sitebulb is a newer piece of software, but it's continually being improved. They're constantly working on making things better. Checking their release notes, the last release was 6 days ago. Always nice to use software that still being maintained and improved. Sitebulb is incredibly useful for understand the structure of a website, if there are any broken links, what the SEO state of any given page is. Very useful tool.
ConsThere's no free plan, so you're looking at committing at least /month. Luckily, the cost of additional users is only. This is a great example of how Sitebulb adjusted their offering to meet the needs of their users.

“A great crawling tool, combines the depth of Screaming Frog with easy to understand, visual reports.”
OverallI use it almost daily to create SEO audit reports for my clients. It saves me a lot of time and helps me to deliver reports that are easy to understand and visually appealing.
ProsThe built-in reports on almost any aspect of the SEO of a site, from On Page, to Pagespeed Load. I also love the crawl map, one of the most useful ways I know of understanding the real structure of a site and detecting issues that prevent optimal crawling.
ConsI'd like it better if it were cloud based. I hate the constant updates, but I understand some updates are necessary at such an early stage.

Thank you Juan, great to hear you're getting so much value out of Sitebulb :) I'm afraid it will never be a cloud product - one of the ways we can keep the price point so low is by keeping it as a desktop tool. We've been trying to slow down on the updates, although we have a lot of new features coming soon...

“Brilliant technical auditing tool built by brilliant SEOs”
OverallIt definitely speeds up our client work.
ProsSuper easy to use. Cool visualizations. And it actually gives strong SEO recommendations.
ConsIt takes some time to crawl the site, but really that's not a fault of the software. That's just the way crawling is. All of the crawlers take some time.

“Sitebulb makes crawling websites super easy”
OverallThe ability to see a visual representation of the structure of a site just makes it easy to know which pages have issues that need immediate action. This allows you to quickly redress imbalances.
ProsI particularly like the sitemaps feature. It allows you to quickly identify any imbalance on the structure of websites.
ConsPossibly that some of the features don't really have adequate instructions in using them or detailed explanations of the benefits of performing such tasks.

By Sitebulb on February 20, 2018
Thanks Phil! We're in the process of adding a load more documentation and instructions baked into the software, which should hopefully address your main 'con.'

“One of the best desktop crawler with unique features.”
OverallEasy to use. Great reports. Awesome visualization of link juice.
ProsI love Sitebulb cause market needs a great alternative for Screaming Frog. They report like cloud crawlers but services were just like flexible as desktop crawler too. Maybe the only one solution that you can analyze link juice by visualizing it instead of doing this by Gephi or R. Keep doing guys, it is a great idea!

“Really cool functions that help you visualize and crawl your data”
ProsThe visualize your site linking/crawling structure. Really cool way to be able to visualize how you are structuring/linking your data. It helped me see how competitors are doing better in certain areas of content. There is much more to it that I've yet to explore.
ConsIt is a bit expensive. I wish there were cheaper options. I ended up not subscribing because it wasn't quite worth the expense to me at this time. I did really enjoy the feature of visualizing graph of the linking structure though.
