Looking for a Claude alternative for auditing your website?
Paste a screenshot into Claude and what comes back is careful, well written and often right. That is exactly the trap. It reads like analysis, and it is a judgment: one model's view of one picture, with no scale behind the score and nothing measured underneath it. It never loaded the page, so it has no idea what your visitors sat and waited for.

Most website audits are one AI's guess. Every score in yours comes from machine-learning models trained on how thousands of real people rated thousands of real web pages, and checked against the standards professionals use for speed, accessibility, readability, and brand. It is the grading a university lab runs, for the price of a coffee.

When to choose Claude
Choose Claude when you want to think out loud about your positioning with something that argues back. It is the most patient of the assistants at long reasoning about copy, it will go through your page section by section, and you can keep asking until the answer makes sense to you. For working out what you want to say, a conversation beats a report.
When to choose you x you i
Choose us when the question is what to fix first, not what to think. We load the page, time it, open it on a phone, scan it for accessibility, and score everything else against what thousands of real people said about real pages. What arrives is a ranked list, not an essay. The audit is $5, paid once, with no subscription required and nothing to cancel.
What we check that Claude does not
Every one of these is a row in the table above, ticked in our column and blank in theirs.
- Connects to Google Search Console
- Shows which searches moved after your audit
- Links your fixes to your Google traffic
- Shows what AI answers cost you in clicks
- Compares your clicks with last year
- Tracks your score against your Google traffic
- Checks how fast your pages load
- Checks it works on phones
- Checks people with disabilities can use it
- Predicts where visitors look first
- Flags copy that sounds AI-written
- Emails you what your fixes did, 30 days on
- Scores measured against what real people said, not an opinion
What a year costs
Same year, both tools, list prices only.
- Claude Pro, billed monthly, $20 a month
- $240a year
- you x you i $5 an audit, 12 audits, one a month
- $60a year
- Difference over a year
- $180
And you only pay for the audits you run. One audit is $5, paid once, so a year of monthly checks is a ceiling and not a bill. A subscription is the other way round: you pay it whether you look at it that month or not.
The two tools do different jobs, and the table above says which. This is only what each one asks for.

Claude vs you x you i: common questions
Is Claude wrong about my homepage?
Often it is not. It is a good reader. The problem is that you cannot tell the times it is right from the times it is confidently wrong, because nothing behind the answer was measured and the answer moves when you rephrase the question. A score that changes with the wording is not a score.
Can I just paste my page into it?
You can paste a screenshot and it will describe what it sees. It cannot fetch the live page, so anything it tells you about speed, phone rendering or accessibility is inferred from an image rather than observed.
Do you use AI too?
We do, and that is not where we differ. What matters is calibration: our numbers are fitted against what real people said about real pages, which is why the same page scores the same twice. An assistant has nothing to calibrate against and does not claim to.
How much is an audit?
It is $5 for one report, with no subscription required. You pay when you want a page read, and not otherwise.
What is the audit based on?
Our own models, trained on what real people did on real websites: the pages they left, bought from, read, and trusted, plus the web standards for speed, accessibility, readability, and brand. A chatbot learns from text written about websites; these learn from what actually worked. Every fix comes from published research, ranked by the size of its effect.
Can't an AI chatbot tell me the same thing?
For a decision the business rides on, you want judgment that holds still. Ask a chatbot the same question twice and the answer changes, because it is giving you the average of everything it has read, where the loudest voice often wins. Our scores stay put and point at a specific fix, so you can act on one and defend it to whoever signs off.
Why not just paste my website into a chatbot?
Because a chat ends. It answers the question you thought to ask, and then it is over: it does not know what you changed afterwards, it has never seen your traffic, and it will never come back in October to tell you what the edit you made in July was worth. Ours ranks the fixes in the order worth doing, then watches what your search traffic does and emails you the numbers at 30, 60 and 90 days. You still make the changes. Nothing here decides on its own that your homepage needs rewriting.
