Is there a free Screaming Frog alternative?

looot has no monthly seat. You pay per call to the provider you pick, and the catalog shows each endpoint's price before you run it. Whether that comes out cheaper than Screaming Frog depends on your volume.

What does Screaming Frog cost?

List prices change, so check Screaming Frog's own pricing page. This page does not repeat them. The looot side is read live from the catalog on the web version of this page.

What is a good Screaming Frog alternative for an AI agent?

An agent with a looot connection can call the providers behind Screaming Frog's data jobs directly. The providers used here are diffbot, jina, firecrawl, zyte-api.

Which Screaming Frog features does looot not cover?

Not covered: full-site crawl, log file analysis, javascript rendering audit, scheduled crawls. Keep Screaming Frog for those, or use another tool beside looot.

How do I replace Screaming Frog with looot?

Paste the agent prompt on this page into your coding agent. It sets up looot, finds the endpoints for each job and runs them. You can edit the prompt to match your own inputs.

Do I need a Screaming Frog account to use looot?

No. looot calls its own providers and does not connect to your Screaming Frog account. Your existing Screaming Frog data stays where it is.

Your agent reads the looot setup file once, then runs the jobs below and shows each price first.

Prompt to replace Screaming Frog

Use looot to fetch the 20 URLs I give you and list each page title, meta description and main heading. If you have not yet, set up https://looot.ai/skill.md first. Then search the looot catalog for each step, check the price of each endpoint before you call it, run the cheapest one that fits, and show me the results as a table.

Setup

One prompt, one price, one ledger
