Desktop SEO crawler with prioritized issue reporting · Pricing: $13.50 – $35 / mo (Desktop) · $40+ / mo (Cloud)
Sitebulb and SEO Score API both touch SEO, but they are different shapes of product. Sitebulb is a Desktop + Cloud crawler; SEO Score API is a hosted REST API that returns a scored audit as JSON in about two seconds. This page is an honest side-by-side — including when you should pick Sitebulb over us.

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 in your terminal in 30 seconds.
