Docket vs CrawlRaven
CrawlRaven is the closest tool to Docket's pitch among the cheaper ones: it joins Search Console and GA4 to a technical audit and hands back prioritised action items. It is sold by the month, with a fixed-site lifetime plan beside it, and its audit runs within a monthly page allowance. Docket is a Mac app bought once, with no allowance. The overlap is real, so it is said first.
What CrawlRaven does that Docket does not
- Search Console and GA4, joined up. It connects both and reports keyword and page performance against what visitors actually did. Docket audits your pages; it does not pull your Search Console history or your analytics.
- Keyword work. Keyword maps, clusters, cannibalization flags, content gaps, runner-up keywords and decay tracking, and on Pro an import of your Ahrefs or Semrush keyword lists. Docket does none of this. It does not track rankings or research keywords.
- A trial and a free tool. A 7 day free trial of everything in Pro on one site, with no card, and a free audit tool for up to 100 pages with no account. Docket's free version covers any site but shows only the score, how many problems each area has and the top problem in full.
It also lists MCP access to up to 30 tools across approved scopes, and its FAQ says MCP can read stored audits but cannot start them. Docket ships an MCP server so an assistant can run an audit.
The technical audit is there now, within an allowance
An earlier version of this page said CrawlRaven's pricing page listed the technical audit as not yet available. Read on 19 October 2026, it no longer does. The audit is listed among the Starter features, and the FAQ says it is included on eligible paid or trial websites within a monthly page allowance, with a CSV export of findings. The page describes a 200-point technical audit.
Docket runs 99 checks across thirteen areas, four of them not technical SEO at all: conversion, brand consistency, AI search visibility and campaign tracking. It has no page allowance, and the crawl and the report stay on your Mac. A count of checks is a weak measure, and nothing here compares the quality of either tool's output, which has not been measured.
What one Docket run looks like
CrawlRaven's audit is measured against a monthly page allowance. For scale, one Docket run on our own site, 31 October 2026: 143 pages crawled in under a minute on a Mac, score 99 out of 100, grade A, 7 things to fix, and nothing spent because there is nothing to spend. The finding Docket ranked first among those that name nobody else was “2 groups of near-identical colours in your CSS”, medium effort, on 2 pages.
On the price
Read from CrawlRaven's pricing page on 19 October 2026. Its cost comparison lists the lifetime plan; the monthly plans are the ones it leads with.
| Plan | Price | Sites included |
|---|---|---|
| CrawlRaven Starter | $29 a month | 1 |
| CrawlRaven Pro | $39 a month, plus $10 a month for each extra site | 3 |
| CrawlRaven Agency | From $199 a month | 20 |
| CrawlRaven Pro lifetime | $390 as a single payment | 3, fixed |
| Docket | $349 once · or 4 × $87.25 | Any site |
CrawlRaven is far cheaper to start, and nothing here argues otherwise. Twelve months of Starter come to $348 for one site, against $349 once for any site; the lifetime plan is $390 for 3. They are not the same purchase: one is a content-insights platform with a metered audit, the other is the audit, running locally on your own Mac with no account and no site limit.
Which to buy
- Buy CrawlRaven if your question is which content to write and update, you want Search Console and GA4 in one view, and you are happy to pay by the month for it.
- Buy Docket if your question is what is technically wrong with the site and in what order to fix it, with a price that stops and no allowance to watch.
They are close enough in spirit that owning both is not absurd. If a one-time price is what drew you here, the other one worth knowing about is Scrutiny, a Mac app bought once, cheaper than Docket, and stronger than either of us at link checking.
Checked 19 October 2026. The factual claims about this product were read from its own pages on that date: its plans are billed monthly: Starter 29 US dollars for one site, Pro 39 for three sites with 10 a month for each extra site, Agency from 199 for twenty sites, and Enterprise by quote; a 7-day free trial on one site asks for no credit card (source); its cost comparison lists a Pro lifetime plan for 3 websites at 390 US dollars one-time, and its FAQ says lifetime is a single payment for a fixed number of sites (source); a technical SEO audit is listed among the Starter features, which Pro and Agency include, and its FAQ says it is included on eligible paid or trial websites within a monthly page allowance, with a CSV findings export; the page describes a 200-point technical audit (source); MCP access to up to 30 tools across approved scopes is listed, and its FAQ says MCP can read stored audits but cannot start them (source); the other features it lists are Search Console insights, linked GA4 reporting, keyword and page performance, keyword maps and cannibalization flags, content gaps and decay tracking, prioritised action items and, on Pro, import of Ahrefs and Semrush keyword lists (source); its FAQ says CrawlRaven offers a free audit tool for up to 100 pages with no account required (source). Products change and pricing changes; if something here has gone out of date, tell us and it will be corrected. Everything else on this page is a comparison of approach, not a claim about their roadmap.

Common questions
Is Docket a CrawlRaven alternative?
For the audit, yes. CrawlRaven joins Search Console and GA4 to a technical audit sold by the month; Docket is the technical audit, bought once, with conversion, brand and AI-visibility checks alongside it. It is not an alternative if you need Search Console and GA4 data or keyword work, which Docket does not do.
Which is cheaper, Docket or CrawlRaven?
CrawlRaven to start. Its Starter plan is $29 a month for one site, against Docket's $349 once for any site. Twelve months of Starter come to $348, and its lifetime plan for 3 sites is $390, as read on 19 October 2026.
Does CrawlRaven have a technical SEO audit?
Yes. On 19 October 2026 its pricing page listed it among the Starter features, and its FAQ said it is included on eligible paid or trial websites within a monthly page allowance. When we read their pricing in September, the audit was not yet available.
Do both have an MCP integration?
Yes. CrawlRaven lists MCP access to up to 30 tools and says MCP can read stored audits but cannot start them. Docket ships an MCP server so an assistant can run an audit.
Does CrawlRaven have a free version?
It offers a 7 day free trial on one site and a free audit tool for up to 100 pages with no account. Docket's free version shows your score, how many problems each area has and the top problem in full, on any site, with no key.
Does Docket connect to Google Search Console?
Not for the keyword and traffic history CrawlRaven reports. Docket audits what your pages contain and how your server is configured, on your own machine, without an account.
