Screaming frog has become one of my main SEO tools that I'm using on a daily basis. Helps me check almost every aspect of a website's on-page optimization and shows me the number and type of errors.

The free version is pretty limited so I bought it for 1 year. I recently need to renew my subscription and was wondering if any free alternatives exist out there.

What do you guys use for crawling websites?

Thanks a lot of the share, which one do you think it's the best from this list?
Just installed Visual SEO Studio and Beam Us Up SEO Spider. Wildshark SEO Spider Tool had some negative reviews.
Will try them both and let you know who's the winner. Thanks again!

Hey mate, installed them all eventually.
Here is my take:

Beam Us Up SEO Spider - well has a lot of drawbacks and is very limited. Would not be using this.
Wildshark SEO Spider Tool - turns actually to be pretty impressive. Not as good as Screaming frog, I must agree with the online reviewers but its still pretty cool. Also, no limits on this baby.
Visual SEO Studio - looks cool, pretty complex, but it's limited to crawling 500 pages. Guess you need to buy the premium version. Also, it seems buggy as hell, actually crashed when doing a crawl test.

From all three, Wildshark SEO Spider Tool may be the winner in my book, so thanks!

If any of you have other suggestions, please share!
