Product usage, AI models, crawler tracking, pricing, compliance, API integration — everything you might want to know is here.
Local desktop software. All data (keywords, ranks, AI chats) is stored in your own SQLite database, never uploaded to any cloud server. This fundamentally eliminates data breach risk, in line with PIPL and GDPR.
V2.5.3 supports Windows 10/11 (64-bit). Mac (Apple Silicon) and Linux are on the roadmap, Beta expected 2026 Q4. Minimum: 4GB RAM, 2GB disk, .NET 6.0 Runtime Recommended: 8GB RAM, 10GB SSD (16GB+ RAM recommended for local AI models)
Free tier: the client auto-prompts you to upgrade — one click.
Paid users: re-download the latest installer, your license key stays the same, install over the existing version. Pro Lifetime users get updates within the current major version.
All 9 local models are completely free, no API key required. Includes:
• Qwen3 (1.7B/4B/8B) — Apache 2.0
• Qwen2.5 7B — Apache 2.0 (replaces Llama-3 in V2.5.3)
• Mistral 7B v0.3 — Apache 2.0
• DeepSeek-R1-Distill 7B — MIT
• Phi-4 14B — MIT
• Gemma 2B/7B — Gemma ToS
All commercially safe, data never leaves your machine.
New in V2.5.3: AI Agent = natural language conversation + 7 SEO tools auto-invocation + up to 3 rounds of iteration + live status bar + cancel button.
7 tools: analyze_seo / crawl_page / analyze_keyword / analyze_competitor / generate_content / full_analysis / track_ranks
Complete an entire SEO task in a single conversation — no need to switch tools manually.
13 providers (OpenAI/Claude/Gemini/DeepSeek/GLM/Kimi/MiniMax/Groq/Mistral/Cohere/xAI/OpenRouter/Custom). You provide your own API key (configured in Settings), we do not store or proxy — data flows directly to the provider.
V2.5.3 removed Llama-3 8B, replaced with Qwen2.5 7B (Apache 2.0). Reason: Llama 3 Community License has a >700M MAU commercial restriction, while Qwen2.5 is Apache 2.0 with no commercial restrictions — better suited for global businesses.
Supports 5 search engines: Google, Bing, Baidu, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo. Each engine uses a real browser (Playwright + CDP) to bypass anti-crawl restrictions.
Very unlikely. V2.5.3 adds a CrawlRateLimiter global limiter (3 concurrent / 30 requests per 60s), respects robots.txt by default, strict mode limits to 5 SERP queries per day per engine. If issues persist, enable StealthCrawlerConfig or adjust the query interval.
To avoid excessive pressure on search engines, we offer two compliance modes:
• strict (default): 5 queries per engine per day, 2-hour adaptive backoff
• standard: 50 queries per engine per day, 30-minute backoff
Quotas persist in serp_quota_state.json, survive restarts.
Tools → Settings → Google Search Console → OAuth login and authorize. After authorization, all modules are linked: search analytics, coverage, index check, sitemap submission, mobile usability, enhanced reports — all viewable in the client. Pro and above.

Never uploaded. All SEO data and AI chats are stored in your local SQLite database. Tokens / EULA acceptance timestamps are encrypted with DPAPI. The audit log lives at .seocraft_audit.log (hidden file).
