## The panel's verdict

Netpeak Spider is a desktop SEO crawler whose strength is technical auditing: technical audit scores cluster at 6-7, crediting JavaScript rendering, off by default, automatic duplicate and canonical-chain detection with internal PageRank, and robots.txt directives checked with line numbers. Keyword and content scores hold at 2: ranking counts arrive through Serpstat and Ahrefs integrations, with no public information on search volumes, difficulty or intent. Rank and index data scores 1-2: no public information on backlink index size, refresh cadence or update frequency. Reporting and API scores run 4-6, crediting Pro-tier white-label reports and automatic Google Drive export, while the API appears only in a customer quote. Data portability, also 4-6, credits CSV export stated to carry no limits and projects that reopen on another device, though historical export is documented only as a current-versus-previous comparison. Sovereignty spans 0 to 2 — the only zero anywhere — on a record with no sovereignty attributes; scores differ on whether local crawling and Google Drive exports offset that gap. Public pricing amounts to a 5-day free trial and "Save up to 20%. Cancel anytime."

**Speaks for it:**
- Deep technical crawler — JavaScript rendering, automatic duplicate and canonical-chain detection with internal PageRank, and robots.txt directives checked with line numbers
- Unlimited crawling rules with regular-expression matching and AND/OR logic
- CSV export carries no limits, and XLSX files split automatically past 1,000,000 URLs
- Projects save locally and reopen on another device
- White-label reports on the Pro tier carry your logo and contact details, with automatic export to Google Drive after each monitoring session

**Held against it:**
- Keyword and content scores sit at 2, with ranking data arriving via Serpstat and Ahrefs integrations and no public information on search volumes, difficulty or intent
- No public information on backlink index size, refresh cadence or ranking update frequency, where rank and index data scores run 1-2
- The API appears only in a customer quote, with no public documentation, endpoints or rate limits
- Historical export is documented only as a current-versus-previous-check comparison, with no public information on retention after cancellation
- No sovereignty attributes are on record — no public information on contracting entity, hosting location or subprocessors

**Best for:**
- You need a deep, rules-based desktop crawler for technical audits and ticket-writing across large sites
- You deliver client reports and want white-label PDFs and spreadsheets exported automatically to Google Drive on the Pro tier
- You already use Serpstat or Ahrefs and want crawl-side verification and SERP checks on top of that data
- You want crawl results to live on your own machine with unmetered, open-format export

**Avoid if:**
- You need keyword research — volumes, difficulty, intent — from the product itself rather than through Serpstat and Ahrefs integrations
- You must cite a documented ranking or backlink methodology, such as index size or update cadence, to clients or auditors
- You need a documented API with published endpoints and rate limits to build on
- Your procurement requires documented answers on contracting entity, hosting location or subprocessors before purchase — ask the vendor: the public pages we read do not show it

## Scores by judge and criterion

Scores out of 5, each judge scoring independently against the published rubric (v1). "n/r" = not rated: the vendor publishes no price.

### The judges

- **The In-House SEO Lead** (v1.0): Owns organic traffic for one large German site and reports on it monthly. Wants German-language keyword data that is not an afterthought, rankings she can defend when they disagree with Search Console, and audit findings specific enough to become a developer ticket.
- **The Agency Owner** (v1.0): Runs forty client sites and rebills the licence. Wants multi-client management, white-label reports a client can receive unedited, and per-seat costs that do not punish a growing team. Reads "contact us" on a pricing page as a margin problem.
- **The Technical SEO** (v1.0): Lives in crawl data and log files. Wants JavaScript rendering, crawl budget analysed, indexation diagnosed rather than listed, and regressions caught between crawls. Treats an issue list sorted by count rather than by traffic impact as busywork.
- **The Content Strategist** (v1.0): Decides what gets written and can only commission so much. Wants topic clusters, honest opportunity sizing, cannibalisation caught before it happens, and briefs scored against what actually ranks rather than against keyword density.
- **The Data Analyst** (v1.0): Wants the numbers in the warehouse, not in a PDF. Cares about a documented API with published credit costs, bulk historical export, and whether three years of ranking history leaves with the customer or dies with the subscription.
- **The Skeptic** (v1.0): Knows every vendor claims the largest index and the most accurate rankings, and that no buyer can check either. Reads instead for what can be held to: refresh frequency, stated limits, credit costs per endpoint, and what the invoice does when the team adds a seat.
