Frequently Asked Questions

What do you mean exactly by 'bespoke crawler'?

A bespoke crawler is custom-built software designed specifically for your site and workflow. Unlike generic SaaS tools, it handles your unique architecture, authentication, and reporting needs, and you own it outright.

How is this different from Screaming Frog, Sitebulb, or enterprise SaaS crawlers?

Desktop tools are great for small jobs, but they hit limits fast. Enterprise SaaS platforms can scale, but they’re rigid, expensive, and lock you into subscriptions. Our crawlers are tailored to your site, self-hosted, and scale without SaaS restrictions.

Do I need to be technical to use it?

Not necessarily. We deliver crawlers with simple commands, scripts, and clear setup guides. If you have developers, they can extend and automate further, but you don’t need to be an engineer to run them. We also offer documentation and support as part of our agreement.

Who typically uses these crawlers?

Advanced SEO consultants, agencies, and enterprise teams

What kind of data can it output?

Anything you need: CSV, JSON, Excel, Parquet, BigQuery, or Snowflake. We adapt outputs to match your reporting and analytics workflow.

Is this a one-time purchase or subscription?

Each crawler is sold as a one-time source license - you own it permanently, with no forced SaaS subscriptions.

Optional ongoing costs (like server hosting, proxy rotation, or other third-party services) are paid directly by you, so you stay in full control of your infrastructure and spend.

If you’d like extra peace of mind, we also offer support retainers (for updates, bug fixes, and priority help) and managed hosting if you’d rather we run everything for you.
