Frequently Asked Questions

Is SearchPilot a replacement for Screaming Frog?

SearchPilot can replace Screaming Frog for most agency workflows. While Screaming Frog is a powerful crawl tool, SearchPilot combines crawling with GSC data and prioritization to give you actionable plans instead of raw data.

Does SearchPilot do technical SEO crawling?

Yes. SearchPilot crawls your sites for technical issues, but the key difference is that we prioritize those issues by their actual impact on traffic. A broken link on your homepage matters more than one on a 404 page with zero traffic.

Can I still use Screaming Frog with SearchPilot?

Absolutely. Some power users use Screaming Frog for deep custom crawls and SearchPilot for prioritization and execution. They work great together.

How much does SearchPilot cost compared to Screaming Frog?

Screaming Frog costs $259/year for a single user license. SearchPilot starts at $49/month and includes GSC integration, prioritization, and client reporting—features Screaming Frog doesn't offer at any price.

Is there a free trial?

Yes! You can try SearchPilot free and see your prioritized action plan before committing to a paid plan.
