What Sitebulb actually costs over a year
A monthly price is not the same thing as a monthly contract. These are the plans above resolved both ways, per seat or unit where the plan is charged that way. Where a vendor quotes only a yearly figure it is divided by twelve rather than left out, and the Quoted column says which figure the vendor actually publishes.
| Plan | Quoted | Monthly | Over 12 months |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lite | per month | $18 | $216 |
| Pro | per month | $42 | $504 |
| Cloud Server | per month | $125 | $1,500 |
Sitebulb pricing against its competitors
Compared on the smallest invoice each vendor will accept, not on the advertised per-seat rate. Where a product has a seat minimum, the figure below is the minimum times the rate, because that is the cheque you would actually write.
| Product | Cheapest paid entry | Free plan | Against Sitebulb |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sitebulb | $18 a month | No | This product |
| Screaming Frog SEO Spider | $23.25 a month | Yes | +$5.25 a month (+29%) |
| Semrush | $139 a month | Yes | +$121 a month (+672%) |
Which Sitebulb plan should you buy?
| Your situation | Recommended | Why |
|---|---|---|
| You audit your own site occasionally | Lite | $18 a month for one user covers core crawling and auditing. |
| You produce technical audits for clients | Pro | $42 buys the prioritised hints and crawl maps that become the audit document. This is the tier that justifies Sitebulb over Screaming Frog. |
| You are an agency with several auditors | Pro, plus seats | Extra users are $11 a month each, so price your team rather than the headline figure. |
| You need scheduled cloud crawling with no project limits | Cloud Server | From $125 a month, which is a different budget conversation entirely. |
| You are an experienced SEO auditing your own site | Consider Screaming Frog instead | Cheaper and faster if you already know what the data means. |
Verdict by who you are
SEO agency producing client auditsYes
The explanations and crawl maps become the deliverable, which saves hours of writing and pays for the price difference outright.
In-house SEO at one companyCompare first
Useful, though Screaming Frog covers the same crawling for less if you can interpret it yourself.
Developer checking a site buildCompare first
The prioritised hints are genuinely instructive if technical SEO is not your specialism.
Anyone needing keyword or backlink dataNo
Sitebulb does neither. It sits alongside Ahrefs or Semrush, not instead of them.
Should you buy Sitebulb?
Buy Sitebulb if…
- Agencies producing technical SEO audits for clients
- In-house SEOs who want prioritised, explained findings
- Anyone auditing JavaScript-rendered sites
Do not buy Sitebulb if…
- Keyword research and rank tracking
- Backlink analysis
- Teams wanting everything in one SEO platform
What leaving Sitebulb would cost
low lock-in
Sitebulb scores on self-hostable, documented export. Portability 7/10 ; lock-in is the inverse. How this is calculated.
The pricing is per user, and that is the catch
Lite is $18 a month and Pro $42 a month, each for one user, with 15% off if you pay yearly. Additional users on Pro are $11 per month each. Cloud Server starts at $125 a month and removes project limits.
For a solo consultant, $42 for Pro is straightforward. For a five-person agency it is $42 plus four extra seats at $11, so $86 a month, which is still reasonable but no longer the headline number. Count your seats before comparing with Screaming Frog’s licence.
What you are actually buying over Screaming Frog
Both crawl. Both find broken links, redirect chains, duplicate titles and canonical problems. The difference is what happens next.
Screaming Frog hands you a spreadsheet and assumes expertise. Sitebulb produces prioritised hints, each explaining why the issue matters, what causes it and how to fix it, plus crawl maps that make site architecture visible at a glance.
If you write audits for clients, that is the product. The explanations become the document, and the crawl maps become the slide that makes a non-technical stakeholder understand the problem. That saves real hours, which is the honest justification for paying more.
If you are an experienced technical SEO auditing your own site, you may not need any of it, and Screaming Frog is cheaper and faster.
It is not an SEO platform
No keyword research. No rank tracking. No backlink index. Sitebulb crawls and audits, and that is the entire scope.
So it sits beside Ahrefs or Semrush rather than instead of them. Budget for it as a specialist addition, and be sceptical of any comparison that puts it head to head with a full platform, because they are answering different questions.
Sitebulb questions, answered
- Is Sitebulb worth it?
- Sitebulb occupies a narrow and genuinely valuable niche: it crawls a site and then tells you which problems matter and why, in language you can put in front of a client.
- How much does Sitebulb cost?
- Lite $18/month for 1 user; Pro $42/month. The cheapest paid tier we recorded is Lite, published at $18 a month, which works out at $18 a month or $216 over a year. Verified against the vendor's pricing page.
- Does Sitebulb have a free plan or free trial?
- Sitebulb has no free plan. A free trial is available: 14 days.
- What is the best Sitebulb alternative?
- It depends on the job. Screaming Frog: Cheaper, faster and the industry default, with far less explanation. Semrush Site Audit: Included if you already pay for Semrush, and shallower technically. Lumar: Enterprise-grade cloud crawling at enterprise prices.
- Can I self-host Sitebulb?
- Yes. Sitebulb can be run on your own infrastructure, so the data stays under your control.
