A cloud-based web crawler is a tool that crawls websites, but instead of running on a local computer, it operates on cloud servers.
If you’re reading this, you’re probably wondering whether you should try one or stick with your current desktop crawler. Lucky for you, we’re going to discuss the pros and cons right here.
Sitebulb’s desktop crawler is the preferred auditing tool of thousands of SEOs and has won multiple awards! However, even the greatest desktop crawler is limited by the desktop machine running it.
Cloud crawlers can handle much larger and more complex crawling tasks than desktop crawlers. We’re talking millions of URLs rather than hundreds of thousands. The larger the site(s) you need to crawl, the higher the chance you’re going to need a cloud crawler.

Using a cloud crawler eliminates the team efficiency problems and frustrations associated with auditing websites at scale using a desktop crawler. No more waiting around for crawls to finish or discovering that your crawl failed overnight.

Everyone in the SEO team can access the same audit data in real-time in the cloud, making it easy to review audits together and get new hires up to speed on quickly. No more sharing audit configurations!
“Set and forget” your website audit schedule, so that crawls and audits happen as you (and your computer) sleep. Then easily compare crawl data over time to verify dev implementations or proactively monitor sites.

CloudSitebulb Cloud gives you all the capability of Desktop, accessible via your web browser. Crawl at scale without the limitations of your machine.
It’s true that all these benefits come at an extra cost - BUT Sitebulb Cloud is not as much as you think. In fact, it’s a fraction of the cost of enterprise crawlers like Botify and OnCrawl. Sitebulb Cloud plans start from $245 a month, which you’ll more than make back in efficiency gains.
“I was skeptical at first, but the agency efficiency gains of using Sitebulb Cloud have basically meant it has paid for itself over the desktop version.”
Sam Torres explains how the switch from Sitebulb Desktop to Sitebulb Cloud has enabled technical & non-technical team members to add more value.
Charlie Norledge explains how switching from an expensive enterprise crawler to Sitebulb Cloud enabled Impression to reinvest funds into growth & client value.
