Cloud crawling unshackled

Yes, and at no extra cost! Each Sitebulb Cloud plan comes with a set number of users - for example ‘Small’ is for 2 users - so you also get 2 Sitebulb Pro licenses for the desktop product. This means that you actually get a hybrid, access to both a desktop crawler and a cloud crawler. You are also able to connect to your cloud server through the desktop interface, and easily switch between your desktop version and the cloud server.

First things first, you might not need a Sitebulb Cloud plan in the first place. We have 5000+ paying subscribers for Sitebulb’s desktop product, which is much more affordable, and is a really great fit for lots of users.

Most Sitebulb Cloud customers prefer it to desktop either because they want to crawl at scale, or they want to get their entire team working from the same crawl data. Others simply prefer that it is cloud based, with no reliance on their local desktop computer.

When it comes to choosing a plan, the important factors are:

1. How many users need access?
2. How much crawling do we need to do each month?
3. What’s the biggest website we need to crawl?

These questions track against the first three rows of our pricing table above.

You may have noticed there are no project limits - or additional charges for crawling with JavaScript - so it really does come down to how much crawling you need to do.

For example, if you have 10 clients that each have websites of 200,000 URLs, you could crawl them all on a monthly basis on the ‘Small’ package. But if you wanted to crawl the same websites twice per month, that would be 4 million URLs a month, so you’d need the ‘Medium’ package. And if one of these websites was 2 million URLs on it’s own, then you’d need the ‘Large’ package.

If none of the listed plans fit your requirement, we also have custom packages available, that are only available on an annual basis - please get in touch for more information.

You can pay for Sitebulb Cloud via credit card or PayPal. If you wish to pay by purchase order/invoice, we can offer this for yearly plans only - please contact us on [email protected] for details.

It can take up to 24 hours for us to set up your cloud server, and once it is ready you will be emailed login instructions. Your cloud server will live on a URL like https://yoursite.sitebulb.cloud and you will need to login using your Sitebulb account, and from there you can invite your team mates.

We don’t currently offer Sitebulb Cloud as a free trial. However you can get a really good feel for how Sitebulb works by signing up for a free trial of the desktop version of the software. The desktop version is almost identical to cloud in terms of features, but does not enable crawling at scale so easily, and does not have the team/collaboration element as your crawl data lives on your local machine.

Of course. If you’re interested in Sitebulb Cloud and want to learn more, please book a call with one of our co-founders. We’ll need to discuss your crawling requirement, so it can be helpful ahead of time to log onto your current cloud crawling tool and figure out how much you are using it (e.g. the number of websites and the number of URLs for each). That will help us make the most appropriate recommendation for your company.
