Docket vs JetOctopus
JetOctopus is an enterprise technical-SEO platform built around server log files. Docket is a $349 Mac app. Before any comparison is worth making, the important part: JetOctopus reads your server logs and Docket cannot, and on a large site that is the most valuable technical-SEO data there is.
What log analysis gives you that no crawler can
A crawler, Docket included, tells you what your site serves when something asks. Logs tell you what Googlebot actually did: which pages it fetched, how often, which it ignored for months, where it spent a crawl budget you did not know you were spending. Those are different questions, and the second cannot be inferred from the first. JetOctopus's product list leads with its Log Analyzer for that reason, and adds a JavaScript crawler, GSC and GA4 integration, position tracking, alerts and its own AI search visibility product.
If crawl budget on a large catalogue is your problem, a tool that cannot see your logs is not the answer, and this page is not going to pretend otherwise.
Where the comparison actually sits: scale
Their In-House plans are metered in crawled URLs and log lines a month: 500,000 URLs and two million log lines on Growth, two million and eight million on Pro, five million and twenty-five million on Ultra, with an Unlimited tier quoted only as "Let's talk". Projects, seats and simultaneous crawls are unlimited on every tier. That is a platform for sites with hundreds of thousands to millions of pages and a team around them.
Their published rates: $459–$2,069/mo billed quarterly ($349–$1,559/mo billed annually); Unlimited tier is 'let's talk'. That works out at 4,188 US dollars for a year on the entry plan at the cheaper of the two rates, and 18,708 on the top priced plan. Docket is $349 once. Setting those numbers beside each other is close to meaningless, because they are not sold to the same buyer, but it does tell you which question you are asking. If a platform fee of several thousand dollars a year is a normal line item, JetOctopus is in your category and Docket is not.
What Docket does
99 checks across thirteen areas, on your own Mac, with no account and no page limit. -n 0 crawls until the site ends, and re-running after each fix costs nothing because
nothing is metered. Four of those areas are not technical SEO at all: conversion, brand
consistency, AI search visibility and campaign tracking. Findings arrive as a ranked plan with
the fix written out, and the ordering formula is published.
One thing worth not claiming: an MCP integration. Docket ships one so that an AI assistant can run an audit, and JetOctopus's product list names one too. It is not a difference between them.
Which to buy
- Buy JetOctopus if you have server logs worth analysing, a site measured in hundreds of thousands of pages or more, and a budget that treats SEO tooling as infrastructure.
- Buy Docket if you want a deep audit of a site you can crawl from your own machine, ranked into an order, once, for a fixed price.
If scale is your problem but server logs are not, Screaming Frog is the other tool built for very large crawls and costs a fraction of this. Nothing here compares crawl accuracy or the quality of either tool's findings, which has not been measured. The facts above are what each vendor publishes about its own product.
Checked 19 October 2026. The factual claims about this product were read from its own pages on that date: its In-House plans are Growth, Pro and Ultra, priced 459, 1,089 and 2,069 US dollars a month quarterly, or 349, 809 and 1,559 billed annually, with an Unlimited tier quoted only as "Let's talk" (source); the plans are metered on crawled URLs and log lines per month: 500,000 URLs and 2 million log lines on Growth, 2 million and 8 million on Pro, 5 million and 25 million on Ultra, and custom on Unlimited (source); projects, seats and simultaneous crawls are unlimited on every tier, and the Agencies tab lists the same crawled-URL allowances with prices of its own, from 549 a month quarterly or 409 billed annually for Growth (source); its published product list leads with a Log Analyzer that tracks how Google and AI bots navigate a site, alongside a JavaScript crawler, GSC integration, AI search visibility, alerts and an MCP integration; its plan table adds GA4 integration and position tracking (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 JetOctopus alternative?
Not for log analysis, which is what JetOctopus is built around and Docket cannot do at all. For auditing a site you can crawl from your own machine and getting the fixes in priority order, Docket does that for a one-time price instead of an enterprise subscription.
Does Docket analyse server log files?
No. Docket audits what your site serves to a crawler. Logs record what crawlers actually did (which pages Googlebot fetched, how often, and which it ignored), and that cannot be inferred from a crawl. On a large site it is the more valuable of the two data sources.
How much does JetOctopus cost?
Its published In-House plans are $459–$2,069/mo billed quarterly ($349–$1,559/mo billed annually); Unlimited tier is 'let's talk', which is 4,188 US dollars for a year on the entry plan at the cheaper annual rate, with an Unlimited tier quoted only on request. Docket is $349 once. They are not sold to the same buyer.
Do both have an MCP integration?
Yes. Docket ships an MCP server so an assistant can run an audit, and JetOctopus's product list names an MCP integration too. It is not a difference between them, and this page does not present it as one.
