Hey I'd appreciate if you could ping me your email address to support@sitebulb.com so we can see what's going wrong with your account (or lack thereof).

We should put that on our homepage.

Yeah for really big crawls your probably better off sticking it on a server or AWS, as much as anything so you don't need to leave your computer on for ages. But Sitebulb is not resource hungry in the same was as other desktop crawlers

It should stick the subdomain you specify in the start URL, unless there is a redirect or something. Other subdomains won't be crawled, although it will HTTP status check links to subdomains. So possibly that is what you saw in the URL

I'm afraid not, at least not yet. It's something we'll work on if the demand appears to be there. Right now we are focused on other features that appear to be a higher priority to our users.

Thanks for all the detail! Here you go: - Email confirmation is required for the username/password, which is how free and trial licenses are controlled, and ultimately how paid licenses are doled out. So we need it for the licensing. -

I know right, SF is just too cheap for its own good! :p We think it's a case of horses for courses. Sitebulb has the potential to save you a ton of time when auditing and reporting. If you don't do a lot of that then it might not

Answered this one below already. For completeness: The main difference from Screaming Frog (which is legitimately awesome) is the reporting. Once it has finished crawling it will do a lot of pre-processing for you and build graphs, lists of

That's frustrating, sorry. It's a 'reputation issue', that over-protective anti-virus software doles out to smaller software vendors like ourselves. Basically they don't know if it is good or bad because we haven&#x

It has a lot more comprehensive reporting and data visualization than the likes of Scrutiny. I have no idea of the scale limitations of Scrutiny, but I'd be very surprised if it can handle ~500,000 URLs. Also Sitebulb is for both Windo

Absolutely. In development we tried different ways to make the Crawl Map also represent link data, and they were all just unintelligible. Even the Crawl Maps on big sites are hard to get your head around, and that's with Sitebulb sampl

Thanks for the feedback, good to know. Yeah we use a username/password so there's no issue with losing a license key.

Sorry, maybe I misread, but I kind of read the comment as 'what separates this from other cloud products on the market?' So I wasn't trying to argue what is and isn't possible with cloud architecture, simply what is and

Interesting comment regarding the App Store. To be honest I'm really surprised no one has ever said this to us before. We have another product - ( http://urlprofiler.com/ ) - for Windows and Mac that we've been sell

Sorry, I meant to say, there's a free 14 day trial available to anyone once you download the software (no credit card required).

Yep exactly. All crawls are stored locally so there is no data issue to worry about.

Price is always a difficult one trying to get the cost/value balance right. We did some pricing sensitivity testing before launch so I'm hopeful we've not got it too wrong. Regarding Crawl Maps, yeah it does have some limitat

Thank you! And thanks for the beta feedback, it was super helpful.

The other big thing, in comparison to cloud software, is convenience. You can setup a crawl and start it running -and see URLs being crawled - within a minute. On cloud software that's simply not possible, due to the way that everythin
