A GEO audit after each detailed crawl
robots.txt is checked for 14 AI bots one by one, pages that AI answers cannot quote are listed, and you hear when an AI search bot that could reach your site no longer can. On every plan, with no extra credits.

Ahrefs alternative: PerfBee vs Ahrefs
PerfBee is an Ahrefs Site Audit alternative for teams that want a crawler built around fixing the site: AI bot access checked bot by bot, accessibility by template, and reports with your own logo.
Compared on 5 November 2026, from each product’s public documentation.
What PerfBee adds to Ahrefs Site Audit
| Capability | PerfBee | Ahrefs Site Audit |
|---|---|---|
| Blocked pages kept apart from broken ones | Marked not checked, never billed | A 403 is reported as a 4XX page; the help page suggests allowlisting its bot |
| One page list across crawls | Every URL the crawls of a site found, in one list, with the pages that went missing | Two crawls compared at a time; no page list kept across crawls |
| Redirects suggested for broken pages | A suggested target where a live page matches, downloadable as a redirect file (Starter and up) | No target suggestions listed; you set the target |
| AI bot access, bot by bot | Each AI bot against robots.txt, plus llms.txt and Content-Signal, after each completed detailed crawl | Flags pages robots.txt blocks for AI bots; no per-bot table, llms.txt or Content-Signal check listed |
| Accessibility in the crawler | axe-core on one page per template; a sample, not an audit | Not listed; a missing alt text issue |
| What third-party scripts cost | Each vendor’s cost on your pages, from your performance tests | Not listed |
| Critical CSS | Extracted per page, ready to inline | Not listed |
| REST API and webhooks | Both on every plan; webhooks are signed | A read API for Site Audit; no webhooks listed |
| White-label reports | PDF and Excel exports with your logo and colour (Starter and up) | Not offered, says the help center |
| Live Google Sheets link | A Sheet that reads your newest crawl (Starter and up) | Not listed; a Data Studio connector |
Checked 5 November 2026 against Ahrefs Site Audit's public documentation. “Not listed” means we did not find it documented, not that it cannot be done. Something out of date? Write to support@perfbee.com and we fix it. Product names belong to their owners.
Three differences you can see
Accessibility by template
axe-core runs on one page per template, so each finding points to the template to fix. A sample, not an audit. 2 credits a page tested.
What to fix first, not 10,000 rows
Issues are ranked by the pages they hurt and grouped by template and shared element, so a broken link in the menu is one fix, not one row per page.
Which one to pick
Pick PerfBee if you want
- A GEO audit after each detailed crawl
- Accessibility by template
- What to fix first, not 10,000 rows
Keep Ahrefs if
Ahrefs suits you if you want backlink and keyword research in the same tool as the site audit.

Questions
Does PerfBee check AI crawler access?
Yes. After each completed detailed crawl it checks robots.txt for 14 AI bots one by one, from Googlebot and OAI-SearchBot to GPTBot and ClaudeBot, and lists the pages AI answers cannot quote.
Can I put my own logo on PerfBee reports?
Yes. PDF and Excel exports carry your logo and colour (Starter and up).
Can I try PerfBee for free?
Yes. The Free plan includes the Site Crawler and needs no card. A fast crawl uses 1 credit a page, a detailed one 2.
Does PerfBee follow robots.txt?
Yes. PerfBeeBot follows robots.txt, waits as long as Crawl-delay asks (up to 10 seconds) and never gets around bot protection.
