To view Screaming Frog solely as an “audit tool” is to misunderstand its utility. It is a swiss army knife for digital strategy. For example:

Sitebulb is a newer desktop crawler with a much friendlier UI and "hint" system that tells you exactly what is wrong.

Ahrefs and Semrush offer cloud-based site audits. They are easier to schedule (set it and forget it) and present data in prettier charts for clients.
