What it does
Sitebulb crawls websites and turns technical findings into prioritized hints, explanations and visual maps. Desktop runs on Windows or Mac, while Cloud lets a team share crawl data through a browser. A 14-day desktop trial includes Pro features; continued use requires a subscription.
Choose where the crawl runs
Desktop uses your own computer. Cloud handles the crawl remotely and lets colleagues work from the same results. Both suit technical SEO audits, but the hosting choice matters for large sites and shared investigations.
| Edition | Crawl allowance | Main difference |
|---|---|---|
| Desktop Lite | 10,000 URLs per audit | JavaScript crawling, maps and basic hints |
| Desktop Pro | 500,000 URLs by default | Audit comparisons, scheduling and customized PDF reports |
| Cloud | Depends on the plan | Shared browser access and recurring cloud crawls |
Sitebulb explains its hints, which can help a consultant show a client why a URL needs attention. Google Analytics, Search Console and Google Sheets connections add context to the crawl.

The desktop trial lasts 14 days and requires no credit card. After registration, download the Windows or Mac application.
