Screaming Frog alternative

Looking for a Screaming Frog alternative?

Screaming Frog's SEO Spider is a website crawler you install on Windows, macOS or Linux. A crawler visits your pages the way a search engine's bot does, and this one reports broken links, redirects, page titles, duplicate pages and much more, for you to work through yourself. If you'd rather have the weekly SEO work done for you, published in your CMS and approved by you, Sojig is built for that.

Illustrative example

Why teams look beyond Screaming Frog

  • It finds the problems and leaves the fixing to you. It doesn't change your live site, so every fix goes through you or your developer.
  • Someone has to run the crawl, read the reports and decide what matters first. Scheduling is there on the paid version, but the decisions stay with you.
  • It's a crawler, so writing articles, tracking rankings, link outreach and tracking AI answers aren't on its feature list.

Where Screaming Frog is strong

To be fair, it does a lot well:

  • A free version with no sign-up or email needed. It crawls up to 500 URLs and covers broken links, redirects, titles, language tags (hreflang) and exact duplicate pages.
  • Deep control on the paid version: JavaScript rendering, custom extraction, crawl comparison, accessibility checks, and links to Google Analytics, Search Console and PageSpeed Insights.
  • No set crawl limit on the paid version beyond your memory and storage, for a flat $279 a year. That's far more pages than Sojig's plans cover, for far less money.

Choosing a Screaming Frog alternative

Screaming Frog's SEO Spider does one job, crawling your site and reporting what it finds, and it does that job very well. So before you replace it, work out whether the crawler is the problem, or whether it's acting on the results that keeps slipping.

When to stay with Screaming Frog

If you or someone on your team is comfortable with a technical audit, stay. You control the crawl, you can pull custom data from any page, and a year's licence at $279 costs less than three months of Sojig's cheapest plan. On a large site, the gap is even wider: Sojig covers 2,000 pages at most on its standard plans.

What to look for instead

If crawl reports pile up unread, a different crawler won't help. Look for a tool that drafts each fix and publishes it once you approve. If you do want another audit tool, check how many pages it covers, whether it renders JavaScript and whether it runs on a schedule.

How switching works

Connect your site and Search Console. Sojig crawls up to your plan's page count and turns each issue into a fix in your weekly queue. If your last crawl flagged a page you're worried about, ask Ady for fresh fixes for it. See the site audit for what's checked.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is Screaming Frog free?

Up to 500 URLs per crawl, yes, with the core checks. Scheduling, JavaScript rendering, saving crawls and the Google integrations need a licence, at $279 a year per user.

Does Sojig replace Screaming Frog?

If you run a crawl and then struggle to get the fixes done, it can: Sojig crawls every week and drafts a fix for each issue. If you need custom extraction, crawl comparison or a crawl you control, it can't, so keep Screaming Frog.

Can I use both?

Yes. Use Screaming Frog for deep audits and Sojig for the weekly work. On a small site, the free version may be all you need for an occasional second opinion.

Does Sojig's audit go as deep as Screaming Frog?

No. Sojig's audit is a weekly crawl aimed at what to fix next, and it doesn't offer custom extraction or crawl settings. Screaming Frog gives you far more data and far more control. Sojig's part is drafting and publishing the fixes.
