“Cheaper than what I was using and far easier to get around. I had never seen keyword data laid out so visually before, the topic clusters especially, which made the whole thing easy to understand.”
UtilitySEO vs Screaming Frog
An honest comparison, including the things Screaming Frog still does better.
Screaming Frog pricing and features as published at the time of writing. We keep this current, tell us if anything looks out of date.
Who should switch from Screaming Frog, and who shouldn't
Screaming Frog is superb and, at £199 a year with a free tier under 500 URLs, cheaper than us. For deep technical crawls, custom extraction and log-file analysis, it is still the tool we would reach for.
It is also a desktop crawler. You run it, you configure it, and you get raw data back that assumes you already know what matters. Nothing is monitored between crawls.
Switch to UtilitySEO if…
- You want audits that run themselves and track progress over time
- You want issues explained in plain English and ranked by impact
- You want rank tracking, GSC data and AI visibility in the same place
- Nobody on the team wants to babysit a desktop crawl
Stay on Screaming Frog if…
- You need to crawl tens of thousands of URLs with fine-grained control
- Custom extraction, regex rules or log-file analysis are part of your process
- You are technical, happy in the raw data, and £199/yr is the better deal
Honestly, a lot of technical SEOs should use both. We are the monitoring layer, Screaming Frog is the scalpel.

Loved by teams that rank
Cheaper than what I was using and far easier to get around.
“I had never seen keyword data laid out so visually before, the topic clusters especially, which made the whole thing easy to understand.”
UtilitySEO doesn't overwhelm you with useless data.
“Easy to use and makes tracking my info so much better.”
I moved over from a much pricier suite and I have not missed a feature yet.
“The audit tells me what to do next instead of handing me a list and wishing me luck.”
The briefs and drafts save me a serious amount of time.
“I still edit everything, but I am starting from something real rather than a blank page.”
Every site I look after is in one place now.
“I can see what moved, what I changed and which pages are slipping, without keeping spreadsheets to hold it together.”
