For the slice of Screaming Frog you actually use most — bulk URL status checking — we're cloud-native, faster, and don't need a desktop install.
Screaming Frog is the industry standard, but its desktop-only nature is friction for cloud-native teams. Your laptop has to be on. Big crawls eat memory. Sharing the install across team members means licence proliferation.
For the specific job most users do most often — "validate this URL list" — a cloud tool just fits better.
No full-site crawl from a seed URL (yet). No deep on-page audits (titles, meta, H1 extraction). No XPath/CSS selector extraction.
If you need those, Screaming Frog is still the right tool. If you only need URL list validation, we're faster and cheaper.
Cloud workers, not your laptop. 75,000 URLs per job. $9.99 for 10,000 (no annual licence). Public REST API. MCP server for AI agents to drive the tool. Multi-user team workflows. No install, no software updates.
