    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 re…

    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 …

    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 …

    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 lic…

    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…

    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 d…

    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,…

    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…

    Nice, thanks. Just ping me or Gareth if you want any of our input :)

    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 ca…

    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 …

    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…

    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 W…

    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. Regardi…

    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 th…
