When Screaming Frog is the better choice
—Auditing a site with 10,000+ pages and need every broken link, redirect chain, and orphaned page mapped
—Running log file analysis to see how Googlebot actually crawls your site
—Doing custom scraping/extraction with XPath or CSS selectors
—You already know exactly what to fix and just need the crawl data

✓You want to start free in the browser with no software to install

Frequently asked
Is Screaming Frog free?
Yes, up to 500 URLs per crawl. Beyond that it requires a paid license (£199/year) for unlimited crawling and advanced features like JavaScript rendering and log file analysis.
Can I use Screaming Frog and Peak Visibility together?
Yes — many users do. Screaming Frog is excellent for finding every issue on a large site; Peak Visibility generates the actual files to fix the SEO fundamentals (schema, meta tags, sitemap, alt text) once you know what needs fixing.
Which is better for a large site?
For pure crawl depth and diagnostics at 10,000+ pages, Screaming Frog is the stronger tool. Peak Visibility is built around generating deployable files per page, which is a different job than exhaustive crawl auditing.
Does Peak Visibility replace Screaming Frog?
Not for large-scale technical audits — that's Screaming Frog's strength. Peak Visibility replaces the manual work of writing meta tags, schema, and alt text by hand once you know what your site needs.
