Same job — bulk URL checking, status codes, redirects, broken links — without the desktop install, 500-URL free limit, or yearly licence fee.
Screaming Frog's desktop app does have features ours doesn't — full crawl from a seed URL, deep on-page audits, custom extraction. If you need a full SEO crawler, Screaming Frog is still the right tool.
But for the specific job of "I have a list of URLs, tell me which are broken / redirected," a cloud bulk checker is faster, requires no setup, and isn't bound by your laptop's memory.
Run jobs from any browser, including phone. No install, no licence, no machine-tied registration.
No 500-URL free limit — first 300 free, then $9.99 covers 10,000 URLs and credits never expire.
Process 75,000 URLs per job without your laptop fan spinning up.
API + MCP server for automation. Hand the tool to Claude or ChatGPT and let agents drive it.
Use Screaming Frog desktop when: you need to crawl a full site from a seed URL, audit on-page SEO factors, extract structured data with XPath/CSS selectors, or work entirely offline.
Use this tool when: you have a list of URLs to check (from a sitemap export, backlink list, CSV, anywhere), you want to share results with a teammate, you want to automate it, or you don't want a desktop install.
