Screaming Frog Seo Spider 12.6 -

Solution: Ensure your OpenAI API key has credits. Also, the page must have at least 150 characters of text. Blank pages will return a null value.

| Feature | Screaming Frog 12.6 | Lumar | Sitebulb | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Free (500 URLs) / £149/year | Enterprise ($$$) | $15+/month | | Local Crawling | Yes (Desktop native) | No (Cloud) | Yes | | AI Integration | Native (GPT) | No | No | | Custom JS Execution | Yes (New in 12.6) | Limited | Yes (Advanced) | | Crawl Comparison | Yes (New in 12.6) | Yes | Yes |

For enterprise in-house teams juggling JavaScript frameworks and international SEO, is not just an upgrade—it’s a necessity. The integration of AI and custom JavaScript execution moves the tool from a "data collector" to a true "technical SEO problem solver."

The free version (500 URL limit) is still fine, but the AI tools are locked behind the paid license.

Solution: Use the "Ignore Query Parameters" toggle. If your site uses UTM tags, these will falsely appear as new URLs. Filter them out via Config > URL > Exclude Query Strings .
