OnCrawl/Botify log modules vs DIY analysis
Buy the platform or build the pipeline? An honest weigh-up.
→ OnCrawl / Botify — they ingest logs and auto-join to crawl data, surfacing orphan pages, crawl-budget waste, and active vs inactive URLs without you writing a line. The time saved is real for big sites.
→ DIY (logs + BigQuery + a notebook) — far cheaper, fully yours, and you control exactly how a bot gets classified — but you build and maintain every join yourself.
⭐ Pick of the week: the buyer's question worth asking — these platforms price on crawled URLs, so for a 500-page site the DIY route wins easily; the math flips at hundreds of thousands of URLs.
Takeaway: platforms when site size makes DIY maintenance the bottleneck; roll-your-own when control and cost matter more than convenience.
