It's not that scandalous is it [whistle][cough]? It would have taken a lot longer without apps like these, and I even through in a free site map export into google web master tools, my client was very happy about that.

@Web Monkey: that's a rip off ;)

$19.99 isn't expensive. I've been using the system when it was in Beta and as a web designer and SEO consultant one of my clients associates wanted a site review on Monday.

I charged them Â£500 for a report, most of which was pulled from CrawlScore. Thats about Â£490 profit for 2 hours work.

Hi Tudor

Thanks for the feedback.

If you consider the amount of bandwidth and server resource (let alone development costs!) we think it's extremely cheap.

I'm not saying Crawl Score is perfect but I think it's unlikely that anything that taken as long as Crawl Score to develop would be free!

If you're suggesting that Google Webmaster Tools is the same but free then I'm afraid we'll have to disagree :)

Nice tool, but indeed expensive. With a combi of other tools you can get the same result.

nice tool but pretty expensive.

for finding broken links you could use xenu.
