Audra as a Seobility alternative

Seobility is one of the few audit tools with a free plan worth using: 1,000 pages per crawl, one project, 10 tracked keywords. If your site is under a thousand pages and classic SEO is all you need checked, that free tier may be all you ever need, and no one-time purchase beats free. Audra is worth paying for when you need answer-engine checks, a full accessibility pass and Lighthouse in the same report — or when you would rather the crawl ran on your own machine.

Is Seobility’s free plan enough on its own?

For a lot of sites, honestly, yes. Its free Basic plan lists a maximum of 1,000 pages per crawl, one project, 10 tracked keywords and 5 daily tool requests. A small business site, a portfolio or a blog under a thousand URLs fits comfortably inside that.

Where it stops being enough is scale and scope. Premium at €49.90/month raises the crawl to 25,000 pages, 300 keywords and 3 projects; Agency at €179.90/month goes to 100,000 pages, 1,500 keywords and 15 projects. Annual billing is listed at €479 and €1,727 respectively, a 20% saving.

The scope limit is the more interesting one: more pages crawled is still the same set of checks. If what you are missing is answer-engine readiness or accessibility coverage, a bigger crawl budget does not add it.

What does Audra add that Seobility does not cover?

Three things it does not claim to do. Answer-engine visibility, through 8 AEO checks per page. Accessibility, through the complete axe-core ruleset rather than a handful of spot checks. And a Lighthouse run per page on both a 412×823 mobile viewport and a 1366×900 desktop one, reported separately and combined.

All of it lands in a single de-duplicated, severity-ranked report with one headline number, so a template-level fault appearing on 40 of 60 pages reads as one problem worth fixing rather than 40 rows to triage.

Seobility, in exchange, tracks rankings and backlinks over time and monitors uptime. Audra does none of that: it takes a picture of the site as it is now.

Which one should a small agency choose?

If you manage many client sites and need per-project dashboards and ongoing rank monitoring, Seobility’s Agency tier is built for exactly that shape and Audra is not a substitute — it has no multi-project dashboard and no historical tracking.

If you audit sites episodically — onboarding a new client, a quarterly health check, a pre-launch review — the subscription is idle most of the month, and a one-time licence you can run on any site fits the work better.

A reasonable pairing: Seobility’s free tier for continuous keyword monitoring, Audra for the deep audit you actually deliver to the client.

Does either one send your site data to a third party?

Seobility is a hosted crawler, so the crawl originates from their infrastructure and results are stored in your account there. For public marketing sites this is unremarkable.

Audra crawls from your own machine, driving the copy of Chrome you already have installed, and writes the report to your disk. There is no account to create and no hosted dashboard.

That difference matters for staging sites behind basic auth, internal tools, and anything not yet public — a local crawler can reach what a hosted one cannot, without you exposing it.
