How to use Moz Pro beside Crawlwise

Keep Moz Pro for what it does best, and use Crawlwise for the page in front of you.

Share article:

Key takeaways

  • Keep Moz Pro where it is genuinely stronger.
  • Run the same URL in both tools and keep findings you can verify.
  • We fetch each page as 17 AI crawlers and show whether each one got through, so a firewall or CDN block on GPTBot or ClaudeBot shows up even when robots.txt allows it.
  • Fix one thing, check it again, and save the report if you want a memory.

You might already live in Moz Pro. That is a good sign. It means you care enough about the site to use a serious tool. This guide is here so you can keep that tool and still know, calmly, where Crawlwise fits beside it. A hosted SEO platform covering keyword research, rank tracking, a site crawl, link research and the Domain Authority metric, with Moz Local sold separately for business listings.

Give Moz Pro the credit it has earned

A comparison that only praises us is marketing, and you would feel it by the second paragraph. Here is where Moz Pro is the stronger product, in plain language:

  • Domain Authority is an industry-standard shorthand, and its link index has years of history behind it.
  • Keyword research and rank tracking are mature products with reporting built for teams.
  • Moz Local manages business listings, which we do not do.
  • A large library of learning material and an active community surround the product.

If that list describes your actual week, stay. You will be happier, and you will do better work. We would rather you trust the next section because this one was fair.

Keep the tool that matches the job. Moz Pro has jobs it wins. Crawlwise has a different one, and it is a good one.

Where a Crawlwise sitting feels different

Our job is narrower, and we like it that way. You paste a URL. We show the evidence. We say when a check could not run. And we fetch the page as the answer-engine crawlers, so you know whether they can read it.

  • We fetch each page as 17 AI crawlers and show whether each one got through, so a firewall or CDN block on GPTBot or ClaudeBot shows up even when robots.txt allows it.
  • We do not compress a site into an authority score. Every finding cites its check and evidence.
  • Starter is $4.99 a month, the free tools need no account, and each paid run is quoted in credits before it runs.

That is the whole invitation. You can try the free tools with no account, then run a full audit when you want the checks together. A single page is about 1.25 credits, quoted before you click.

What we will not pretend

  • A link-and-authority platform against a focused page and crawler audit. If backlink research is your main job, theirs is the right tool.

Hold both products to that standard. If a page implies we replace their index, their desktop crawl, or their keyword history, it is wrong. Send people here instead.

A kind way to decide this week

Pick the URL a customer actually uses. Run the overlapping check in Moz Pro if you already have it open, and run the same URL through a Crawlwise tool or a full audit. Put the two results side by side. Keep every finding you can verify. Discard the rest. You will leave with a shorter list and a better mood, which is the point of a good afternoon.

Then fix one thing on staging and check it again. The second run is how you know the fix landed. Save the Crawlwise report if you want next month to remember what you did. History is a small kindness you can give your future self.

What a plan actually costs

The free tools stay free. You can open them, run them, and leave without an account. A plan is for the moment you want the report saved, a few sites watched, or the same checks from the API. The price on this table is the price at checkout. A yearly plan is ten months of the monthly price, so two months are on us.

PlanMonthlyCreditsA good fit when
Starter$4.9910You look after one site and check it now and then
Pro$14.9940A few sites, plus the API and a handful of watched URLs
Studio$49.99150Client work that would burn through Pro mid-month
Agency$99.99400Many locations, reported under your own name

A single-page audit is about 1.25 credits, and that includes the live probe of answer-engine crawlers. You see the estimate before anything runs. If a hold is not used, it comes back to your balance. Extra credits, when you already subscribe, are $9.99 for 20.

You can root for both

Moz Pro can stay in your toolkit. Crawlwise can sit beside it for the page-level questions, the crawler probe, and a price you can see. You do not have to pick a side to do good work. Open the URL, read the evidence, and ship the fix you can explain. That is a win, and you are close to it.
