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, page screenshots/JS error capture/rendered-HTML archive, internal link opportunities, AI search readiness, IndexNow submission, and the MCP server for AI agents. Everything else is free either way. See the table above for the full breakdown.
