Fix SEO Today vs OpenSEO
OpenSEO-style projects let a developer run a crawler, keep the data, and extend the checks. That is the right trade when you want the pipeline. It is the wrong trade when you want the answer this afternoon.
Why open source wins
You can read the checks, add one, and keep the crawl on your own machine. No seat fee. No surprise limit. A team with an engineer who will maintain the job should consider it seriously.
The ops bill
Someone owns deploys, rendering, rate limits, storage, and the report a non-engineer will read. Most companies who install a crawler once do not keep it current. The repo is not the diagnosis.
Hosted, with a list
We run the crawl and write the fix. You do not operate a queue. If a check is missing and you need it, email hello@fixseotoday.com. Features ship in 2 days, which is the version of open source a founder can actually get.

You will host, extend, and read the raw output.
