Shared crawler
A Screaming Frog alternative for teams, not laptops
Most SEOs know Screaming Frog. Crawle solves the part desktop crawlers were not built for: shared crawl data, continuous monitoring, team access, and 2-year history.
- We all know why technical SEOs use Screaming Frog every day.
- The gap appears when a team needs shared crawl data, real-time alerts, and a two-year crawl history that is not tied to one machine.
- Crawle keeps crawl state in a shared cloud workspace with Slack, Teams, email, exports, and connector-based MCP access.

01
The local crawl problem
Desktop crawlers are built around one person running one crawl on one machine. Scheduled crawls and emailed reports help, but the crawl still needs to finish before the team has usable data.
- Crawl files and exports can end up on laptops, shared drives, or inboxes, making the latest source of truth unclear.
- A teammate cannot inspect the same live crawl state unless someone shares a file, report, or running setup.
- If the computer hosting the crawler is not running, scheduled crawls, local MCP access, and follow-up analysis stop with it.
02
One crawl state for the whole team
Crawle turns crawl data into a shared workspace. Everyone with access sees the same URL inventory, issue groups, crawl progress, exports, and 2-year historical changes.
- Workspaces, clients, tags, and roles keep agency portfolios organized.
- Dashboards, incidents, links, URLs, and exports are available anytime, even while crawling continues.
- OAuth MCP lets approved AI agents inspect the same live crawl data your team sees without maintaining a desktop host.
03
Alerts before the next report
Scheduled reports are useful, but they are not the same as real-time monitoring. Crawle keeps checking the site, records meaningful changes, and routes alerts or daily digests when something changes.
- Continuous queues keep discovered URLs moving through crawl coverage.
- Slack, Teams, and email alerts catch indexability, redirect, status-code, link, metadata, and rendering regressions.
- Change history and weekly summaries show what changed, resolved, or still needs action — 2 years retained, full historical exports rolling out.
How it compares
Crawle vs the usual approach
| Crawle | The alternative | |
|---|---|---|
| Primary workflow | Shared cloud crawl state for teams, agencies, clients, and AI agents | Desktop crawls, scheduled jobs, and reports tied to a local setup |
| Collaboration | Everyone works from the same URLs, issues, history, and exports | Teams pass around crawl files, screenshots, or CSV exports |
| Alerts | Continuous crawl queues, incidents, daily digests, Slack, Teams, and email | Scheduled reports by email, but no native real-time Slack or Teams alert flow |
| Exports | Export the current dataset whenever you need it, even between crawl cycles | Exports depend on the crawl state available in the desktop workflow |
| MCP | Add the Crawle connector and use cloud-hosted crawl data | Available, but you maintain the local setup and keep the host running |
