Crawl any site on your own machine and ship a clean sitemap.
Agencies pay per-seat and per-client fees that scale with their success. Self-hosted, pay-once tools replace per-seat pricing with a flat cost that margins actually survive.
The tool this job usually means renting is Screaming Frog, at £199/yr (~$250/yr) — roughly $250 a year, every year. Maptrail does the job for a one-time $19 — running locally on your own machine.
Enter a URL and crawl the whole site from your machine with a live progress table — status, depth, title, meta length, H1, word count.
For agencies, local breadth-first crawler pays off across every client account, with no per-seat math — and it's covered by the same one-time $19, not metered per month.
Set max depth and page limit, plus include/exclude URL patterns (substrings or /regex/) to skip tag and sort pages.
For agencies, depth, limit & pattern controls pays off across every client account, with no per-seat math — and it's covered by the same one-time $19, not metered per month.
lastmod pulled from real Last-Modified headers, priority scaled by crawl depth.
For agencies, standards-compliant sitemap.xml pays off across every client account, with no per-seat math — and it's covered by the same one-time $19, not metered per month.
One payment of $19 gets you the signed Windows installer, or clone the MIT source and build it yourself for free.
Enter your site, set depth and limits, hit crawl — everything runs locally on your machine.
Save sitemap.xml, the HTML sitemap and the CSV SEO report wherever you like, then ship them.
Maptrail is $19, once. Screaming Frog at £199/yr (~$250/yr) — roughly $250 a year, every year. Pays for itself in under a month of a Screaming Frog license — and every year after is pure savings.
Pays for itself in under a month of a Screaming Frog license — and every year after is pure savings. Maptrail costs $19 once; Screaming Frog charges £199/yr (~$250/yr) — about $250 a year. For agencies, that fixed cost is the whole point: the tool is a one-time line item, not a monthly one.
Yes — Maptrail is MIT-licensed at github.com/bensblueprints/sitemap-generator-mvp. The $19 buys the signed Windows installer, 1-click setup and updates; building from source is free.
No, and we'd rather say so. Screaming Frog also does log-file analysis, JS rendering and integrations. If you need all that, buy it. If you need clean sitemaps and a crawl report, Maptrail does that for $19 once.
