Looking for a roast.page alternative?
roast.page does several things we respect: it charges you once, it answers fast, and it does not put you on a subscription. It also does more than the name suggests. It screenshots your page, scrapes the HTML and pulls real Google PageSpeed data, so it does know how long your page took to load, and the paid packs cover mobile as well. Where it stops is the spread of the questions. It scores eight conversion dimensions on one landing page. It does not check whether someone using a screen reader can get through your site, and its scores answer to its own method rather than to what real visitors said about real pages.

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.

Choose roast.page when you want a sharp, blunt read on a single landing page and you want it now. It is honestly priced, there are free audits before you pay anything, 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 a strong reaction to one page is what you need, 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 required, and the same is true of theirs. They load your page and time it, and we will not pretend otherwise. What differs is how wide the audit goes and what stands behind the number. We scan for accessibility, which they do not. We look past conversion to whether your pages can be found, whether your brand holds together across them, and what your search traffic did after you made the changes. And every score is fitted 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. Both of us load your page and both of us time it. What differs is the spread and the calibration. They score eight conversion dimensions on one landing page. We check accessibility, findability and brand consistency as well, and every score is fitted to what real people said about real pages.
What does a roast not cover?
Accessibility, for one: whether your buy button is reachable by keyboard and whether your contrast passes WCAG. Since 28 June 2025 that has been a legal duty in the EU under the European Accessibility Act, and the statute names e-commerce. Beyond that, a roast is built for one landing page and for conversion. It does not tell you whether your pages can be found, whether your brand holds together across them, or what happened to your search traffic after you acted on it.
Where does your score come from?
From people. Our scores are fitted against what thousands of real visitors said about real pages, so a 62 means the same thing on your site as it does on anyone else's. roast.page say their scoring is consistent and calibrated across thousands of pages. What they do not claim is that it is anchored to what human beings actually thought of those pages.
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, and roast.page will give you a few audits free before you pay at all.
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.
