Picked by use case, not by marketing budget.
Sitebulb is one of the friendliest desktop crawlers — better reports than Screaming Frog, smaller learning curve. But it's still desktop-shaped (or scheduled cloud crawls). If you want audits that run in code or on demand, look here.
If you spend most of your Sitebulb time on site audits and you'd rather get JSON your code can act on, SEO Score API is the cheapest, fastest path. If you rely on Sitebulb for backlinks, keyword research, or rank tracking, no API-first tool will fully replace it.
Not in one call. We audit one URL per call (or many in a batch). For full-site crawls of thousands of pages, Sitebulb is the better tool. Many teams pair the two — Sitebulb for periodic deep crawls, SEO Score API for per-URL automation.
Yes — every audit returns a `priorities` array sorted by what would lift the score most. Same idea, JSON shape.
We run one focused product (audits via API). No desktop app, no PDF builder, no UI for non-developers. Different scope, different price.
Sitebulb Cloud has limited API endpoints; the desktop product is GUI-first. SEO Score API is JSON-first by design.
Run an audit before you commit to anything.
