Self-hosted alternatives to Sitebulb

Sitebulb is a website crawler for technical SEO audits, available as desktop software and as a cloud service. One listed app does its main job and runs in your own Cloudflare account.

Each answer comes from the app’s README and source code, compared with the features Sitebulb describes on its own site.

What a Sitebulb user would miss
It has no data visualizations; it covers full Sitebulb hint library and PDF reports only in part; the crawler runs on Cloudflare Workers, and JavaScript-rendered audits need a Workers Paid plan according to the project docs.
What it adds
It runs as a web app in your Cloudflare account and also covers keyword research, rank tracking, backlinks and AI visibility.
