AuditMySite vs Screaming Frog:audit + auto-fixvs desktop crawler that just lists problems.
Screaming Frog is the gold standard desktop crawler. It finds problems brilliantly — but it doesn't fix them, doesn't track AI visibility, and doesn't ship anything. AuditMySite does all three.
Why teams switch from Screaming Frog
Three reasons AuditMySite wins for site audits.
Web-based vs desktop install
Screaming Frog requires a desktop install, a Java runtime, and license activation. AuditMySite runs in your browser — no install, no signup for the free tier, no platform constraints.

Auto-fix vs CSV exports
Screaming Frog exports findings to CSV. You then implement each fix manually — schema, meta data, image alt text, redirects. AuditMySite ships each fix automatically to your CMS, CDN, or as a GitHub PR.

AI visibility + Core Web Vitals
Screaming Frog crawls HTML signals brilliantly but doesn't check AI Overviews citation, Perplexity recommendations, or live Core Web Vitals from CrUX. AuditMySite covers all three on every audit.

FAQ
AuditMySite vs Screaming Frog, answered.
Is AuditMySite a Screaming Frog alternative?
For finding issues across an entire site: yes. For implementing fixes automatically: AuditMySite goes further than Screaming Frog can. For deep custom extraction with regex and XPath queries: Screaming Frog is more powerful. Many teams use both — Screaming Frog for technical crawls, AuditMySite for production fixes.
Does Screaming Frog auto-fix issues?
No. Screaming Frog is a diagnostic tool — it crawls and reports. AuditMySite is diagnostic plus execution: schema generation and deployment, image compression, meta data updates, alt text generation, and redirect fixes are all shipped automatically through CMS integration, CDN injection, or GitHub PRs.
What does Screaming Frog do better than AuditMySite?
Custom data extraction with regex and XPath, list-based audits where you upload a specific URL set, and JavaScript-rendered crawl debugging. Screaming Frog is the more powerful pure-crawl tool. AuditMySite is the more powerful audit-plus-execution tool.
Do I need both AuditMySite and Screaming Frog?
For most teams: AuditMySite covers 95% of what you'd use Screaming Frog for, plus auto-fix. If you do bespoke custom data extraction or work with very large enterprise sites (1M+ URLs), Screaming Frog complements AuditMySite. Otherwise AuditMySite alone is sufficient.
How does pricing compare?
Screaming Frog: free for 500 URLs, £239/year for unlimited URLs. AuditMySite: free tier is unlimited, £29 one-time for the deep-dive auto-fix queue, £49/month for continuous monitoring. For ongoing audits with execution, AuditMySite is cheaper. For one-off crawls, Screaming Frog free is sufficient.
