Screpy Reviews

Really surprised and disappointed given the positive reviews.
1) First of all Screpy took a really long time to crawl the site. With the root domain, it spent well over 5 hours, for a site that has under 50 pages. It then returned that it had crawled 1 of 1 pages - which is insane.
2) Then I tried adding as a project, just the direct url of the blog, it also took forever here but at least pulled up 33 pages. The feedback didn't make sense in some cases where phantom errors were detected, and literally no keywords were pulled up or detected.

The fact that I'm getting more useful data and accuracy with just the basic free version if ahrefs is disappointing and means that I'll likely ask for a refund.

I've reached out to support to see if there's some error or mis-function happening and given that I'm in a different time-zone here in Europe, I'm waiting till support is online again and giving it some time to see if it's still worth keeping the software.

I've written this review because I saw a similar one from another user on trust pilot last night so I know it's not an issue isolated to just my case.

Anyway I'm happy to amend this review if the problem manages to be solved.

I am facing issue with crawler for site more than 1500 pages. its get stuck i have sent email to support its very slow i dont expect this

I bought a couple of codes to test the tool, and despite some issues at the beginning, I came back, and it is getting better in terms of features and support.
Yes, support is more responsive than before, and there are features, like competitor tracking, that are very useful for monitoring adversaries.
After all, one big part of SEO is to get to the top, and your competitors are doing the same.

I’ve been using this software primarily to identify broken links, but unfortunately, the functionality has become increasingly unreliable. It frequently flags every page as broken, even when they’re fully operational. I’ve owned this software for a couple of years, and rather than seeing improvements, I’ve noticed more bugs and issues arise with each update.

The notifications for site downtime are especially frustrating—they consistently alert me that a site is down when it isn’t, and then a few minutes later say it’s back up. This function has become unreliable and doesn’t reflect the actual site status.

While there are some SEO tools available, they lack documentation, which makes them difficult to understand or use effectively. The knowledge base is sparse, and any available help resources are limited and unclear.

Given my experience, I have little confidence in the future of this software, and I genuinely don’t understand its high ratings on AppSumo. If I could, I would delete my account and seek a refund, as this software has not delivered on its promises.

When I first bought this deal in 2022, it worked well, and I was very happy with it.

However, I rarely had issues with sites, and so when I didn't receive any alerts for a long time, I figured Screpy was doing its job, and my sites were fine.

Recently, I was made aware of outtages related to the platforms we use for most of our clients' websites. It dawned on me as strange that I did not receive any alerts from Screpy, so I logged into my account.

What I saw was quite shocking: every site I set up in Screpy is either stuck in "Analyzing" mode (one of these for more than 700 hours) or now displays the following error:

"There was a problem connecting to your site. So maybe some data may appear missing. The connection will be constantly checked and if it works, the remaining analysis data will be added.

Your site is returning the 400 error code. Please check this and try again.

In order for Screpy to access and analyze your site, it is essential that your site is available and your firewall does not block

Screpy bots. ​Unfortunately, this may be the cause for the challenges faced by Screpy when attempting to crawl your site. Thus, I suggest that you review your firewall settings first, and if necessary, add the Screpy IP addresses I have provided in the whitelist."

When I contacted support, they said:

"Unfortunately, these services have very strict rules and unless you are a very large company, they will not add you to their whitelist. I wish there was something we could do about this."

I'm sorry, but if your product can't get approval to work with very well known and common websites, why are you selling it and not telling people the truth???? This is fraud.

It seems like Screpy wants to wash their hands of the problem, and not take any responsibility. Meanwhile, I'm stuck with a product I can't even use and a developer that doesn't seem motivated to correct the issue.

What really irritates me is that this tool worked just fine in the past. So the developers likely made changes that affected how it works. I have other tools that are able to crawl my websites without issue.

I also wonder why is there no mention of this issue in the help documentation?
