Comparison · honest

**Price:** Crawlwise plans start at $14.99 a month, and the free tools need no account. [Compare plans](https://crawlwise.site/plans).

## What it is

A broad marketing platform: keyword research, PPC intelligence, position tracking, content tooling, listing management and reporting, with a crawler alongside it.

## Where Semrush Site Audit is better

This section is the reason to read the page. A comparison that only lists our wins is marketing, and you would know it was.

- Their keyword database is much larger than what we buy per query, and their trend and seasonality data has years behind it.
- Position tracking runs on a schedule across many devices and locations with a stable history and straightforward reporting.
- PPC, competitor ad research and the content template have no equivalent here.
- It is built for a team: seats, roles, shared projects and an agency-grade reporting suite.

## Where we differ

- Nothing here is a passthrough with a markup you cannot see. Every bought call is charged at what it cost us, quoted before it runs, and settled at the real figure.
- First-party checks — AI crawler access, the answer-clarity reading, the deterministic action list — cost near nothing to run and are the part no vendor sells.
- The audit explains itself. Every action cites the check that produced it, so you can disagree with a finding without having to trust the prose.
- There is a free tier that is genuinely usable rather than a demo, and the free tools never ask for an account.

## What cannot be compared

- Whole-suite coverage against a focused audit. If you need PPC and social, they have it and we do not.
