Looking for a roast.page alternative?
roast.page does something we respect: it charges you once, it answers fast, and it does not put you on a subscription. The critique is blunt and often useful. It is also one pass of a language model over a picture of your page. Nothing was loaded, so nothing was timed. Nothing was scanned. And the score it hands you was invented on the spot, which is why running the same screenshot twice can produce two different verdicts.

When to choose roast.page
Choose roast.page when you want a sharp, opinionated take on a landing page and you want it now. It is honestly priced, the tone is refreshing after a decade of gentle marketing reports, and for a founder deciding whether a hero section is embarrassing it does the job. If what you need is a strong reaction to a design, you do not need us for that.
When to choose you x you i
Their audits work out at the same unit price as ours, so cost is not the argument here and we will not invent one: the audit is $5, paid once, with no subscription, and the same is true of theirs. What differs is what stands behind the number. We open your real site, time it, render it at phone width, scan it for accessibility, and score the rest against what thousands of real people said about real pages.

roast.page vs you x you i: common questions
You are the same price. Why switch?
We are, and that is the honest starting point. The difference is not what you pay, it is what you get back. A roast is a reaction to a picture. An audit loads the page: it knows how long it took, what it did at phone width, and where a screen reader gets stuck. It also has to defend its score.
What does a screenshot miss?
Everything that only exists when a page runs. How many seconds a visitor waits, what shifts under their thumb as it loads, whether the buy button is reachable by keyboard, whether the contrast passes WCAG, what Google can and cannot index. None of that is visible in an image.
Where does your score come from?
From people. Our scores are calibrated against what thousands of real visitors said about real pages, so a number means the same thing every run. A one-shot model score is an opinion with a decimal point on it.
Do I have to sign up for anything?
No. Paste a URL, pay for the audit you run, read the report. Neither of us is going to bill you next month.
