# bseoa vs Lumar: pricing, features, and which one to pick (2026)

Lumar, called DeepCrawl until 2022, is an enterprise cloud platform for crawling very large sites: scheduled crawls, log file integrations, Search Console data, GEO reporting, automated QA tests and an MCP server, sold as modules on a quote. bseoa is a desktop crawler and CLI you buy once for $279: it audits from your own machine with no page quota, renders JavaScript and runs inside Claude and ChatGPT. Lumar is built for teams running a large site on a contract; bseoa is built for one person or a small team who wants the audit without the contract.

Disclosure: this page is published by bseoa, which is one of the two tools compared. Every Lumar price and feature below was checked on Lumar's own pricing or documentation pages on 31 October 2026, with the source linked. If something has changed, [tell us](https://www.blackseoanalyzer.com/en/contact) and we'll correct it.

## The verdict

- **Pick Lumar** if you run a site with millions of URLs and need scheduled crawls, log file data, Search Console data and dashboards for several teams.
- **Pick Lumar** if you want automated SEO tests in your release pipeline (Lumar Protect) and procurement can handle a quoted contract.
- **Pick bseoa** if you want a published price: $279 once, a 14-day trial with no card, and no sales call.
- **Pick bseoa** if you want a CLI on your own machine, files you own and audits run from Claude or ChatGPT without buying add-ons.
- **Use both** if Lumar monitors production and you want quick local crawls of staging builds or single sections before release.

## Lumar pricing

| Plan | Monthly | Yearly | What is known |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Analyze, Monitor, Protect, Impact, GEO Metrics (modules) | Quote only | Quote only | Lumar's pricing page says you choose the modules you need and fill in a form for a quote. No plan names, limits or prices are published. |

What Lumar's help center documents about how usage is charged: crawls draw on account credits; rendering with images adds 0.1 credits per URL, and saving HTML or screenshots adds 0.1 credits per URL each. GEO reporting, the MCP server and the Splunk log integration are add-ons to a subscription. A new crawl defaults to 100,000 URLs or 100 levels deep. Lumar does not publish a trial; the pricing page offers a demo.

1. Lumar has no CLI. It has a GraphQL API, service-account authentication for CI and scheduled agents, and Lumar Protect test suites that run SEO checks against builds.
2. Lumar's MCP server at mcp.lumar.io works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other remote-MCP clients and exposes crawls, reports and AI Visibility data. Its docs say it needs "the MCP Server subscription addon".
3. Lumar's GEO reporting scores AI Discovery (crawlability, availability, renderability, indexability), AI Understanding and AI Inclusion, and works best with log files connected. Its help article says to contact your Customer Success Manager if GEO reporting is not part of your subscription.

## Where Lumar wins

- **Scale.** Lumar is built to crawl sites with millions of URLs in the cloud, on a schedule, without tying up anyone's computer.
- **Log files and Search Console in the crawl.** Bot hits from Logz.io, Splunk or uploaded logs and GSC data are overlaid on crawl data. bseoa does neither.
- **Team workflow.** Shared dashboards, tasks, Jira integration and Lumar Protect tests in the release pipeline. bseoa is a tool for the person running it.
- **Monitoring over time.** Scheduled crawls with health scores and trend charts for stakeholders.

## Where bseoa wins

- **A price you can see.** $279 once, or $1,999 for a team. Lumar publishes no price, and its MCP server, GEO reporting and Splunk integration are add-ons.
- **Trial without a sales call.** 14 days, every feature, no card. Lumar offers a demo.
- **Runs on your machine.** Crawl staging, localhost or internal sites your computer can reach, and keep the files.
- **A CLI.** Script crawls in CI or cron and get JSON, CSV, XML or HTML out.
- **AI-readiness checks and assistants included.** The 26 AI-readiness checks and the local MCP server come with every license.
