Screaming Frog SEO Spider group buy — from $10 a month
Screaming Frog SEO Spider is the desktop crawler technical SEOs have used for over a decade. Point it at a site and it walks every URL, recording status codes, redirects, titles, meta descriptions, headings, canonicals, hreflang, structured data, page size and response time — then lets you filter, export and cross-reference all of it. The free version stops at 500 URLs and lacks the features that matter on a real site; the licence removes the cap and unlocks them.
Through GroupbuySEO you get licensed access from $10 a month.
What the licence unlocks
The free crawler is a demo. The licensed one is the tool.
- Unlimited crawl — No 500-URL ceiling — crawl the whole site, or a 200,000-URL ecommerce catalogue if your machine has the memory.
- JavaScript rendering — Crawl sites built on React, Vue or Angular as Google renders them, not as the raw HTML.
- Custom extraction and search — Pull any element off every page with XPath, CSS selectors or regex — prices, author names, schema fields — and search page source for a string.
- Integrations — Connect Google Analytics, Search Console and PageSpeed Insights so every crawled URL carries its traffic, impressions and Core Web Vitals.
- Scheduling, configuration and saved crawls — Save and compare crawls, schedule them, and tune the crawler's configuration (speed, user agent, robots handling, include/exclude rules).
It's a technical-audit tool, not a research suite — there's no keyword volume or backlink index. For crawling, nothing else is as thorough.

What you get through GroupbuySEO
$10/month on its own, or included in our Advanced ($30/mo) and Ultimate ($49/mo) alongside 88 other tools.
- Your own login. You reach Screaming Frog SEO Spider from your GroupbuySEO dashboard, not a shared username and password.
- Instant activation the moment payment confirms.
- Monitoring and 24/7 support — if the tool goes down you'll usually see it on our status page before you hit it.
- Cancel any month. No contract.
What it is not: This is access to a licensed copy of a desktop application, so it runs on your own machine and uses your own CPU and memory — crawl size is limited by your hardware, not by us. It is not a cloud crawler and it does not include the separate Log File Analyser product.
How to judge any group-buy provider
The group-buy market has good operators and outright scams, and they look identical from the outside. Seven things to check — of anyone, including us.
- How is your access isolated? If you're given one username and password that everyone shares, your work is visible to strangers and the account will get locked for concurrent logins. You want a personal login to the provider's own dashboard.
- Which tier are they actually reselling? A single headline price rarely tells you which plan sits behind it. Ask which tier, and check the real limits against the vendor's own pricing page — the plan below states ours whenever we know it.
- Are the limits published? Every group-buy account has daily caps. A provider who won't state them before you pay will let you find out by hitting them.
- What happens when it breaks? Shared accounts do get suspended. Ask what the response time is and whether there's a status page you can check without opening a ticket.
- Can you pay by a method you can reverse? Crypto-only is a signal. Cards, UPI and net banking give you recourse.
- Is there a refund policy in writing? Not a promise in a chat window.
- Are the reviews on a platform they don't control? Testimonials on a provider's own homepage cost nothing to write.

What our customers actually say
We're on Trustpilot at 4.1 out of 5 from 10 reviews. See the profile.
That is not many reviews, and we'd rather say so than round it up. Both the rating and the count are public on a platform we don't control.
“A total lifesaver for freelance SEOs. I've been doing freelance SEO for a while now, and paying full price for every single marketing tool was basically destroying my profit margins. But skipping them isn't an option either — my results would be terrible without proper competitor analysis and semantic core research for landing pages. I stumbled upon GroupbuySEO and it honestly saved my budget. I'm paying about 10 times less than I would if I bought all these subscriptions separately. The uptime is surprisingly solid for a group buy service. If you work on your own and don't have a massive agency budget to burn, this is exactly what you need.”
