The verdict
- Pick Oncrawl if you need log file analysis joined to crawl data, on a site large enough that a cloud crawler and a token budget make sense.
- Pick Oncrawl if you want scheduled crawls, alerts, Search Console history kept past Google's limits, and role-based access for a team.
- Pick bseoa if you want a published price ($279 once), a 14-day trial with no card, and JavaScript rendering that does not triple a token bill.
- Pick bseoa if you want a CLI on your own machine and files you own, for staging, internal or one-off audits.
- Use both if Oncrawl watches production and logs, and you want quick local crawls before each release.

Oncrawl's pricing page returned 404 on 31 October 2026 and the site offers "Book a demo". The plan names and terms above come from Oncrawl's terms of service: plans are set in an order form and differ by monthly crawl tokens and features; terms renew automatically for the same period unless cancelled 30 days before the end; fees may rise up to 5% a year; usage over the order form's capacity is billed. Oncrawl's help center says one URL costs 1 token, 3 with JavaScript rendering, 5 with JavaScript audits (Core Web Vitals, accessibility), and running crawls stop when the month's tokens run out.

- Oncrawl tracks how AI bots crawl your site from your logs, and its AI Search Lens counts citations and visits from AI assistants. We found no documented checks for llms.txt, AI-crawler rules in robots.txt, or bylines and dates.
Oncrawl cells checked on 31 October 2026 against the linked pages. "Not documented" means we could not find the feature in Oncrawl's own documentation; it does not prove the feature is absent.
Where Oncrawl wins
- Log file analysis. Oncrawl processes your full log volume continuously, without sampling, from the log infrastructure you already run (Cloudflare is one named source), and joins it to crawl data, including AI bot activity. bseoa has no log analysis.
- Scale and scheduling. Cloud crawls on a schedule with alerts, sized for very large sites, without tying up a computer.
- Search data in the same place. Search Console and GA4 on every plan, with GSC history kept past Google's retention limit.
- Team workflow. Multiple users, role-based permissions, shared dashboards and a REST API for BI tools.
Where bseoa wins
- A price you can see. $279 once. Oncrawl's prices are on an order form, terms auto-renew, and fees can rise up to 5% a year.
- JavaScript rendering without a meter. Oncrawl charges 3 tokens per rendered URL instead of 1; bseoa renders as many pages as your machine can handle.
- Trial without a sales call. 14 days, every feature, no card.
- A CLI and local files. Script crawls in CI or cron, crawl staging or internal sites, and keep JSON, CSV, XML and HTML output.
- 26 AI-readiness checks. AI crawler access in robots.txt, llms.txt, bylines and dates, and JavaScript-dependent content.
Who should pick which
Agency
bseoa for most client audits. Oncrawl when a large client needs log analysis and ongoing monitoring and pays for it.
In-house technical SEO
Oncrawl if logs and crawl data together drive your work on a large site. bseoa for audits without a contract, or beside Oncrawl for pre-release checks.
Developer
bseoa: a CLI and a local MCP server in your editor. Oncrawl's REST API and MCP server suit a team already on Oncrawl.
Enterprise
Oncrawl, or a peer like Lumar or Botify, for scale, logs and team workflow. bseoa as a low-cost local tool alongside.
