Somehow the fact that it's not in the cloud makes it even better in terms of usability.

Also, the customer support center is awesome Cons Maybe doesn't have the greatest design. And if you dont know SEO well maybe it can be confusing.

Digital Marketing Specialist Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A powerful crawler (and free for smaller sites)" November 27, 2019 5.0 I use Screaming Frog to crawl larger sites in order to retrieve internal link data, on-page data (like title tags, descriptions, H1's, word count, etc... It crawls sites really quickly and being able to export the data makes it easy to put together audits and client reports. Pros My favorite thing about Screaming Frog is that it's free up to a certain number of pages. Working with non-enterprise level sites myself, I get an incredible crawler for free. The thing I like most are probably Screaming Frog's internal linking and site crawl visualizations. So refreshing after living in spreadsheets for most of the day. Cons I think the design and UI could probably be better and more intuitive. It's not terrible, but there's definitely room for improvement. I'd also love to be able to connect it to some other softwares and reports (I'm sure there's a way to make it happen, but nothing out-of-the-box that I'm aware of). Review Source Ian K. Digital Marketing Strategist Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Best SEO Tool" September 20, 2020 5.0 I'm really happy with Screaming Frog and will continue to renew my license. Pros This is one of my favorite, go-to SEO tools. I like that I can crawl an entire website (either a customer or competitor) and get a complete picture of on-page SEO. I can find the title tags, meta descriptions, header tags, on-page copy, canonicals, and so much more. With this information I can figure out how well the site is doing with their technical SEO. With many of the new features they've rolled out (duplicate pages, grammar checks, and more) the tool continues to get more and more valuable. Cons It would be nice if there were a couple options to graphically represent the data in a CSV, but that's more of a "nice to have". Review Source BW Brett W. Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Technical SEO at your fingertips" September 1, 2021 5.0 Screaming Frog helps me quickly identifying website issues that are typically red flags for clients, allowing fast improvement while running triage on future items identified from the site crawl. Pros I needed to pull real-time crawls of extensive client sites. The free plan allows 500 URL's, which is a good start for small sites, but the Unlimited access from a paid plan is essential for any mid-size or enterprise sites. Easy data export into CSV for documentation or graphical manipulation. Super simple interface and navigation that isn't bloated with design complexity. Cons Some data fields could have include a better description of what they are pulling for values. A simple question-mark adjacent to the field would help, rather than having to hunt down documentation on their site. The user-interface hasn't been updated in ... well, ever. That could be improved, though I like the simple aesthetic, which I'm sure helps the application run quickly.

I also use it to crawl lists of backlink targets and other URL lists for various reasons. It is an indispensable SEO tool. Pros This tool has defined the SEO crawler space for me and many SEOs that I have worked with. Even so-called enterprise crawlers have a lot to learn from the number of and quality of reports. Whenever I look at other crawlers that can handle huge websites, I compare their reporting to Screaming Frog SEO spider. Cons What I like least is that it does use my local computer's resources and slows my other work. I am willing to deal with this on smaller and moderate projects that can be crawled in a day. Reason for choosing Screaming Frog SEO Spider The reporting from other products does not compare except in the case of DeepCrawl, which is quite costly.
