Desktop App
Digispot AI SEO Spider runs real-browser crawls on your own machine — 300+ checks per page in mobile, tablet, and desktop modes.
Digispot AI SEO Spider is the desktop application. It crawls entire sites from your own machine using a real Chromium browser, running 300+ checks per page in mobile, tablet, and desktop modes.
Crawls stay local by default. Your crawl data does not leave your machine, which matters for client work under NDA.
One Digispot AI account activates both the desktop app and the cloud platform. There is no separate license.
How it differs from the extension
| Chrome Extension | SEO Spider | |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | One page at a time | Whole site |
| Checks | 150+ per page | 300+ per page, across 25 categories |
| Device modes | Current viewport | Mobile, tablet, and desktop per crawl |
| Prioritisation | Severity | Weighted by GSC and GA4 traffic at risk |
| Price | Free forever | Free to start, with paid plans |
The desktop Spider is free to start. The Scout tier runs the crawler with a 100-page cap. Paid Tracker and Leader plans raise the limits and unlock AI, MCP, and Google. A 7-day free trial is available. See Plans & tiers.
What it does

- 300+ checks across 25 categories, producing separate Page, Device, and Site scores.
- Cloaking detection — compares what a page serves to a bot versus a browser.
- Project dashboard, Visualizer, per-page reports, and audit comparison over time. See Reports & dashboards.
- Pages, issues, and device views for slicing a crawl — see Pages list, Issues, and Device comparison.
- Keyword research, backlinks, and content gaps, plus a Knowledge store that grounds the AI.
- AI analysis and an AI copilot — see AI features.
- MCP server — lets Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf query your crawl data. See MCP server.
- SEO Recipes — a workflow engine for repeatable, multi-step audits. See SEO Recipes.

Checks & Scores
SEO Spider runs 300+ checks across 25 categories and produces three distinct scores — Page, Device, and Site.
Reports & dashboards
Read your crawl — the project dashboard, the Visualizer, audit comparison, and the per-page report with a tab for every area of SEO.
Pages list
The Pages tab lists every crawled URL with toggleable score columns and faceted filters, so you can slice a crawl any way you need.

Device comparison
When a crawl runs across desktop, mobile, and tablet, the Devices view compares scores and issues between them.
Keywords
The Keywords module researches, plans, and organizes the terms your site targets — with opportunities, topics, and a sortable table view.

The Backlinks module shows your referring domains and link profile, backed by cloud link data.
Content gaps
Content gaps surfaces new pages worth writing — AI-discovered topics your site doesn't cover yet, mapped to the clusters they extend.
