Free Account in Site AI Audit

Short answer: A Site AI Audit check starts with a free account. The account lets you run one check of your website, up to 10,000 pages, and saves the result. The report itself stays locked, shown blurred, until you choose a plan. A plan unlocks the score, every finding, the affected pages and the instructions for fixing them, and gives you more checks each month. Nothing is hidden about this up front, so you can decide whether the full report is worth it before you pay.

Why a check needs an account

A website audit is not a light request. To build a report, the crawler has to open your pages, read robots.txt and the sitemap, look up your DNS records for e-mail authentication and ask Google for mobile speed data. That costs real server time, and it is the reason the check is available only to people who have signed in. The account also gives your reports a home: every check you run is saved there, so you can return to it later without running it again.

Creating an account is quick. You can sign in with the methods offered on the sign-in page, and you do not install anything. The check works from the outside, so there is no plugin and no access to your hosting to set up.

What the free account includes

According to the pricing page, the free plan includes:

One check of your website.
Up to 10,000 pages in that check, the same page limit as on the paid plans.
A report preview that is locked. The report is saved in your account.

It does not include re-checks, monitoring or alerts, a PDF report or reports with your logo. The one check is yours to use on the site that matters most to you, so it is worth choosing the address carefully. If you have several sites, start with the one that earns money or the one you are about to change.

What “locked” means in practice

The finished report is stored in your account, but its contents are blurred. You can see that the check ran and that a report exists. The score, the individual findings, the list of affected pages and the “how to fix” instructions are unlocked by a plan. Any plan opens the full report, including the report you already ran, because it is saved in your account.

The reason is simple. A full crawl costs server time, and the report is the product. This arrangement lets you try the check on your real site, rather than on a demo, and pay only when you want the results. If you decide not to pay, your account and the saved report simply stay where they are.

What a plan unlocks

The plans are based on the number of checks per month, and every check covers the whole website, up to 10,000 pages. The live pricing page lists them as follows, in euros without VAT:

Monitor, €9 a month: 5 checks per month, the full report with every detail and affected page, re-checks after every fix, e-mail alerts when something breaks and a PDF report.
Business, €29 a month: 20 checks per month, everything in Monitor, daily SSL and e-mail checks, alerts to your team and report history with trends.
Agency, €79 a month: 100 checks per month, everything in Business, reports with your logo, an embeddable audit form for lead generation and priority support.

Yearly billing gives two months free, and you can cancel at any time. Unused checks do not carry over to the next month. The article on comparing the plans goes into more detail, although the pricing page is always the current source for limits and prices.

A sensible way to use your one check

Because you get one check, use it deliberately:

Pick the right site. Choose the website where a problem would cost you most, such as your shop or the site that brings in enquiries.
Enter the exact address. Use the version visitors use, with https://. If your site opens on both www and non-www, the audit will report that as a finding, and it is better to see it in the first report.
Watch the check run. The progress screen shows each step, from the SSL certificate to the crawl, e-mail authentication and Google PageSpeed. It takes about one to two minutes.
Decide with the report in hand. When it is ready, you know that the check worked on your real site. If you want to read it, pick a plan; Monitor is the smallest.

If you have never seen an audit report, the guide on reading a Site AI Audit report explains the score, the four areas and the severity labels, so you know what you will see after unlocking.

What a plan gives you that one check cannot

A single check is a snapshot. The real value of an audit comes from the loop that follows: you fix the most important findings and check again to confirm that they are gone. Without re-checks, you have to trust that your changes worked. With a Monitor plan you have five checks a month, which is enough for a first check, a re-check after each round of fixes and a final confirmation. Keep an eye on the length of the cycle: fixes made on Monday, a check on Tuesday, a second round on Thursday.

For a website that must keep working, the alerts matter too. The pricing page lists e-mail alerts when something breaks, and Business adds daily SSL and e-mail checks. The audit does not run automatic full checks on a timetable; a full check starts when you press the button.

A worked example

A freelance photographer has a portfolio site and a small online print shop on a second domain. She creates a free account and has one check. The portfolio brings in enquiries, but the shop takes money, so she enters the shop’s address. The check runs for about a minute and a half, and the report appears in her account with the content blurred. She can see that the audit finished, which tells her the shop can be crawled and that the check works on her hosting.

She then compares her needs with the plans. She has two sites, wants to fix problems and confirm each fix, and does not need team alerts or client reports. Monitor with 5 checks a month is enough for a first check on the shop, a second check on the portfolio and a re-check after each round of fixes. She subscribes, the saved report unlocks, and she starts with the findings at the top, which are ranked by impact. She did not need a second account, a plugin or any access to her hosting to get there.

Is it safe, and what else should I know?

The crawler is called SiteAuditBot. It makes about three requests per second and follows the rules in your robots.txt, so it does not hammer your server and does not enter areas you have excluded. The check looks only at what any visitor or search engine can see. It does not need a password to your website and does not change anything on it. If you want to know exactly how it behaves in your server logs, the article on what the Site AI Audit crawler does covers it.

Is the free account a trial? It does not have a time limit, and it is free forever according to the pricing page, but it is limited to one check and a locked report. Can I run the check on a client’s website? Yes, you can enter any website you want checked, but you should have the owner’s permission if the site is not yours. For agencies that manage many sites, the Agency plan is designed for client work; see the article on client reports with your logo.

Start with your own address

The quickest way to see how this works is to check your website with Site AI Audit. Sign in, enter the address and let the check run. Compare the plans when the report is ready.

The bottom line

A free account lets you try Site AI Audit on your real website with one check. The report is saved but locked until you pick a plan, which unlocks the score, all findings, the affected pages and the fixes. Choose the site that matters most, run the check and decide with a real result in front of you.
