Sitebulb is a thorough website auditor known for explaining what it finds and for its visual reports. It comes as a desktop app in two tiers, Lite and Pro, and as Sitebulb Cloud for teams. SEO Audit Hub is a lighter, browser-based audit centred on a ranked fix list, re-audit comparisons and client reporting, with a free plan.

Where Sitebulb is the better choice
- Large or complex sites. Sitebulb Pro crawls up to half a million URLs per audit by default. Our largest plan stops at 5,000 pages.
- JavaScript rendering. Sitebulb can render pages before auditing them, on every plan. SEO Audit Hub reads the server’s HTML, so content that only appears after scripts run isn’t seen.
- Depth of analysis. If you want a desktop auditor with very detailed explanations and visualisations of a site’s architecture, Sitebulb goes further.
Where SEO Audit Hub is the better choice
- A free plan you can keep. 500 pages an audit, one audit a month, with no trial clock and no card.
- Small and mid-sized sites on a budget. Most business sites have fewer than 2,500 pages; Starter covers them for $19 a month.
- A short fix list. Every failing check becomes one task, ranked by impact against effort, with the pages it affects and how to fix it.
- Reporting to clients. White-label PDFs on Pro, share links that open without a login, viewer seats for clients, and a comparison with the previous audit that shows progress.
- Nothing to install. It runs in the browser for everyone on the team, and keeps every audit in one history.
Which to pick
If you audit large, script-heavy sites and want to dig into every detail yourself, Sitebulb is built for that. If you look after small and mid-sized sites, re-audit them regularly and need something a client can read, SEO Audit Hub does that for less, and the free plan lets you check it against your own site first.
