Screpy watches your websites for you: it audits pages for SEO problems, checks page speed, monitors uptime and tracks your Google rankings. It's for freelancers and small agencies looking after several small sites. The deal is one payment of $59 for unlimited websites, on a credit-based plan.
What it can do for you
Get one dashboard that tells you when a site is down, when a page has slowed, and which SEO issues to fix first, across all the sites you manage. Keyword tracking shows when you move into Google's top ten. For someone maintaining client sites, it's a cheap way to spot problems before the client does.
What people like
Reviewers who returned to the new release say it's a big improvement, with responsive support and fixes coming through. Having audits, speed, uptime and rankings together for one payment is the draw.
The honest downsides
- Rank tracking stops at page one. An AppSumo answer confirms it only tracks positions 1 to 10, so you can't see progress from page three to page two.
- Support history is mixed. Some older AppSumo reviews are scathing about support, though recent ones are more positive.
- Partner-managed deal. AppSumo lists it as partner-managed, and the lifetime plan is credit-based while Screpy's current plans are project-based, so limits don't map neatly. It's still refundable within 60 days.
- Credits go fast on big sites. Independent reviewers say large shops can exhaust credits quickly.
Skip it if
- you need to track rankings beyond the first page
- you look after one site and don't need uptime monitoring
- you run a large ecommerce site
Alternatives
- Better pick for auditing sites you own: Ahrefs Webmaster Tools. It's free for unlimited verified websites, with a site audit, backlink data and keyword data, and reviewers rate it highly for your own sites. It doesn't monitor uptime.
- Pair either with Google Search Console to see rankings and clicks beyond page one.
