Screaming Frog is the right instrument when you want every column and you already know which filter matters. Fix SEO Today is the right instrument when you want the sentence.
What the desktop crawler does well
Screaming Frog walks a site on your machine, respects the limits you set, and exports a sheet an SEO can pivot. Custom extraction, rendering, and crawl comparisons are why agencies keep a license. Nothing we ship replaces that spreadsheet when the analyst wants it.
The cost of the sheet
Someone has to install it, set the crawl, read the tabs, and translate a status code into a task. A marketing lead does not. The export is evidence. It is not the brief.
Hosted diagnosis
Paste a URL. We crawl, map internal links, and return issues as sentences: missing titles, canonicals, indexation blocks, thin answers, schema, and llms.txt. The same crawl feeds keyword ideas. You do not configure a spider to get the first list.
Pick Screaming Frog
Custom extraction, render comparisons, and a full export on a machine you control.
Pick Fix SEO Today
The first fix list without a desktop install.
Handoff
Use our list to decide. Use Frog when you need the raw column.
You can export the fix list and a PDF. We do not try to clone every Frog column. The product is the prioritized sentence.
Does the free check crawl the site?
Yes. The free peek runs the check. Full unblurred results unlock at $19 a month for one project, or $99 a month unlimited.
Why is Fix SEO Today cheaper?
Screaming Frog sits inside an extremely expensive stack. Teams still pay for Ahrefs or Semrush, then pay an analyst to turn the export into a task. Fix SEO Today is cheaper because you pay for the diagnosis. A free peek, then $19 a month for one project or $99 a month for unlimited projects. That covers the crawl and the plain-English fix list, including GEO. It leaves out the backlink index, the rank-tracker seats, and the ads module.
