Questions
Pricing, plainly.
Is the free version time-limited?
No. Free is the free build and stays free. It's capped at 1,000 pages per crawl; a $59.99/yr license removes that cap.
Do I need an account?
Not to crawl. The free app runs with no sign-in and no telemetry, on either tier.
Is there a cloud or hosted option?
No, by design. Everything runs locally so your crawl data never leaves your device. It's a core promise, not a missing feature.
What does the license include?
It removes the 1,000-page per-crawl cap and unlocks a handful of premium checks — structured-data validation, mobile-usability, accessibility auditing, spelling & grammar, custom JS snippets, custom extraction, segmentation, forms-based authentication, scheduled crawls, and page screenshots/JS error capture/rendered-HTML archive. Everything else is free either way. See the table above for the full breakdown.
