Looking for a free or open-source alternative to Screaming Frog? Maptrail is the closest direct swap — MIT-licensed source on GitHub, or a $19 one-time packaged install. Since you're already auditing what you pay Screaming Frog every month, here are four more pay-once tools from the same catalog worth a look while you're at it — different jobs, same idea: buy the software once instead of renting it forever.
1. Maptrail — replaces Screaming Frog
Local website crawler and sitemap generator — XML, HTML and a full CSV SEO report, offline. $19 once vs Screaming Frog's £199/yr (~$250/yr). Free on GitHub, or the packaged installer on Whop.
