How CrawlRadar differs from the SEO tools you already use
Every tool below is good at the question it was built for, and none of them was built for this one: what AI does on your site. CrawlRadar is AI search analytics, so it records the AI crawlers that fetch your pages, counts the visitors AI assistants send, and scores whether each page can be quoted.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need CrawlRadar if I already use an SEO suite?
Only if you want to see what AI does on your site. SEO suites measure classic search: links, keywords and rankings. CrawlRadar measures the AI crawlers that fetch your pages and the visitors AI assistants send, which those suites are not built to observe.
Why can SEO tools not see AI crawler visits?
AI crawlers do not run JavaScript, so tag-based analytics never record them, and third-party SEO tools have no access to your server. The visits only exist in your own request log, which is where CrawlRadar’s collector reads them.
How are these comparisons kept fair?
Each tool is described by its own category rather than by a feature list that can go stale, every page says where the other tool is the better choice, and there are no claims about anyone else’s pricing.
