    Very fast responses, we felt very at ease with the fact that every step of the process along the way was explained adequately - with relevant data or sources to back it up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    Design is very outdated, doesn't have a fresh dashboard and it's not so self-explanatory, besides it often needs updates. But overall it does the job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    Being able to easily crawl a website and having everything handled for you with and obscene amount of customization options is incredible. It doesn't matter if you are a newbie of a pro, SF has you covered.

    I love that I can get a birds-eye view of a website's page structure. I can easily export the site pages into a spreadsheet for performance content inventories. I also love that the tool calls out the greatest issues, such as duplicate headings or meta descriptions and readability issues. This saves me a lot of time on client work.

    I didn't always feel like this was crawling every page. Maybe it is a config issue, because the interface can be confusing. Yearly license fees make it not attractive.

    Screaming Frog is essential to providing SEO services to all my clients. We also use it for gaining insights about our own website. It's great for winning potential clients because it very quickly and easily reveals issues with their websites. And finally, it's just good for making the back-end of any website transparent, which is helpful for other aspects of marketing, i.e., exploring the competition.
    It has a reliable user interface that makes it easy and fast to scan a website. Reveals issues and opportunities for website optimization. It allows you to filter results, so you can drill down to where the problems are. You can export lists, so clients can either fix issues themselves or it's "proof" of what you're working on for them.

    I use as part of my audit process with every new client as well as clients looking to develop new websites. It is ideal for capturing all of the pages on the site along with meta information, different page types, finding 301 redirect issues, word counts, meta tag character counts, and much more.
    Fast crawling even on large websites. Comprehensive listing of pages of all types, not just HTML. All meta tag information including character counts. Page word counts in order to identify thin-content pages.

    It's used in the search and analytics department. I use it for crafting pitches - getting insights on possible site issues on a client site - troubleshooting any site issues for active clients, and completing audits, particularly tracking internal linking webs, scraping metadata, and assessing status code issues - both within the web app and in Excel spreadsheets.
    I love the ability to scrape all internal links on the site - even with anchor text! Great for troubleshooting site circulation. The Building Tree view is useful for quick visualization of the site structure. I just love being able to scrape all the metadata - makes the setup for optimization super easy.

    Overall: My overall experience with Screaming Frog SEO Spider has been really great. The application has become an essential element of my SEO toolset, providing great insights into the technical aspects of our website. Its ability to conduct extensive audits, identify flaws, and provide proactive advice has streamlined our SEO improvement process. One of the noteworthy advantages for me is the extensive data it provides, from examining metadata to finding broken links and difficulties with site structure. This degree of data has enabled our team to make informed judgments, resulting in considerable improvements in our website's search engine performance. While there is a learning curve, especially for novices, the tool's usefulness in giving real-time findings and assisting in strategic decision-making makes it well worth the effort. Screaming Frog SEO Spider has shown to be a trusted toolin keeping a healthy and optimized onlinepresence for our company's website.

    Overall: When looking for an option to assess client sites, I need SEO software that works consistently and without bugs. It's also helpful that it's affordable compared to the other services offering a similar scraping of SEO data from a website. Given that it's a flat annual fee, I find that far superior to the high monthly costs. And as noted, it just works. If you're an SEO professional, there will be no real learning curve to use it.

    Screaming Frog is ESSENTIAL software for SEOs. It runs locally. It's modestly priced. And it's probably the fastest way to analyze a midsize site. This is often my first stop when auditing non-enterprise sites..

    Despite of price (free limited version available), Screaming Frog seems to be the best alternative after the free Xenu Links Sleuth was discontinued.
