FAQ
What is the difference between Screaming Frog and XOVI?
Screaming Frog is a desktop-based technical SEO crawler. It crawls websites and identifies technical issues like broken links, redirect chains, missing metadata, and duplicate content. It does not track keyword rankings, research keywords, analyze competitors, or deliver client reports. XOVI is a full SEO workflow platform covering all of those workflows in one cloud-based system starting at $99/month.
Can XOVI replace Screaming Frog?
Yes, for teams that need more than technical crawling.
Screaming Frog SEO Spider is excellent for deep technical audits, but it is mainly a desktop crawler. XOVI covers the broader daily SEO workflow in one cloud-based platform, including site audits, rank tracking, keyword research, competitor analysis, white-label reporting, and personal onboarding from $99/month.
If your team only needs advanced crawl configuration, Screaming Frog may still be the better specialist tool. If you want one platform to manage SEO work, track progress, and report results to clients, XOVI is the stronger fit.
Does Screaming Frog track keyword rankings?
No. Screaming Frog does not track keyword rankings, research keywords, analyze competitors, or produce client reports. It is a technical crawler only. XOVI covers all of those workflows from$99/month.
Should I use Screaming Frog and XOVI together?
Yes. Screaming Frog SEO Spider has a free version, but it is limited to crawling up to 500 URLs. To crawl larger websites and access the full feature set, you need the paid license, which costs £199/year per user.
For technical crawling, the free version can be useful. For a complete SEO workflow with rank tracking, keyword research, competitor monitoring, white-label reporting, and onboarding, XOVI starts from $99/month.
Is Screaming Frog free?
Yes, Screaming Frog offers a free version that crawls up to 500 URLs per crawl. The paid license costs approximately $259/year (£199/year) per user and removes the URL limit while unlocking advanced features like JavaScript rendering, API integrations, and custom extraction. The paid license does not add rank tracking, keyword research, or client reporting – those are not part of what Screaming Frog does.
Which tool is better for small agencies?
For most small agencies, XOVI is the more practical choice.
White-label reporting, personal onboarding, no credit card trial, and clear pricing matter when you run a lean team. Moz Pro is a strong fit for agencies that use Domain Authority as a client-facing metric or rely on MozBar for link prospecting.
Paid XOVI customers can test Riva free for 14 days.
What is Riva, and is it included in the base plan?
Riva is a separate add-on, not included in the $99/month base plan. It shows how AI tools describe your business, identifies missing or incorrect information, tracks competitor mentions in AI responses, and gives you specific steps to improve your AI visibility. Paid XOVI customers can test Riva free for 14 days. Screaming Frog does not offer a comparable AI visibility workflow.
Is Screaming Frog cloud-based?
No. Screaming Frog is a desktop application that runs on Windows and Mac. There is no cloud sync, no browser-based access, and no shared cloud projects. Each user needs their own local install and license. XOVI is fully cloud-based – no install required, accessible from any browser, and projects are shared across team members automatically.
