Frequently asked questions
Can I import my existing Screaming Frog data?
Not directly today — CrawlSense crawls fresh from your domain. We're evaluating import paths for SF exports as a 2026 follow-up. The crawler runs fast (under 2 min for sites under 500 pages) so re-crawling is rarely a blocker.
Do you support custom user-agent or authentication?
Yes — both are configurable in Site Settings. Use a custom UA for staging environments and HTTP basic auth for password-protected previews.
Is there a free tier?
A 14-day free trial with full access — no credit card. After the trial, plans start at €59/month.
How does pricing compare?
Screaming Frog is £259/year per user. CrawlSense Pro is €59/month with no per-user fees inside a workspace. For agencies running multiple clients, the per-seat math swings hard in favor of CrawlSense.
