Google Lighthouse vs Screpy: which SEO tool fits your team?

Google Lighthouse

No keyword identification, clustering, volume, intent, or prioritization workflow.

Lighthouse SEO audits focus on page checks such as meta descriptions, links, hreflang, canonicals, HTTP status, robots.txt, and mobile usability rather than keyword research.

Screpy

Provides ideas, intent, volume, CPC, trends, and content-brief linkage; official detail is positive but not evidence of breadth comparable to specialist databases.

Screpy says Keyword Research finds ideas, reviews intent, and connects demand with pages, articles, and campaigns: https://screpy.com/feature/keyword-research/

Google Lighthouse

No content creation, content optimization editor, briefs, or publishing execution.

Lighthouse can flag basic page issues, but it does not generate articles, edit copy, create briefs, score topical coverage, or operationalize content production.

Screpy

Generates queued article outlines/first drafts and Markdown for review, but does not claim autonomous publishing or optimization execution.

AI Article Generator creates drafts from titles/briefs and requires review before publishing: https://screpy.com/feature/ai-article-generator/

Google Lighthouse

Narrow page-level technical context only.

Lighthouse gathers deterministic audit data from a rendered page, but it does not gather business context, competitor context, internal company data, analytics, CMS, CRM, or custom workflow context.

Screpy

Uses crawled pages, Search Console data, ranking context, and project-level website data to prioritize opportunities.

Quick Wins is described as turning crawl and Search Console data into prioritized technical, content, and ranking opportunities: https://screpy.com/features/

Google Lighthouse

Very narrow AI-agent readiness signals, not AI-search visibility or citation work.

Current docs include experimental agentic browsing audits, but they evaluate machine interaction signals rather than AI answer-engine rankings, citations, prompts, or share of voice.

Screpy

Tracks AI mentions, citations, sources, prompts, and competitor share of voice across monitored AI answers.

AI Visibility feature explicitly lists mentions, citations, sources, prompts, and competitor share of voice: https://screpy.com/feature/ai-visibility/

Google Lighthouse

Some experimental machine-readability checks, but no full GEO workflow.

Agentic browsing audits can check signals such as WebMCP, accessibility, stability, and llms.txt; Lighthouse still does not manage GEO content strategy, citation likelihood, or AI-search measurement.

Screpy

Has AI visibility monitoring and an SEO MCP, but official pages do not establish broad autonomous optimization for generative search.

AI Visibility monitors AI answers and SEO MCP exposes workflows to assistants: https://screpy.com/feature/ai-visibility/ and https://screpy.com/feature/seo-mcp/

Google Lighthouse

Useful page-level technical SEO and quality audits, but not a full site crawler.

Lighthouse audits individual pages for SEO, performance, accessibility, best practices, and related diagnostics. It lacks site-wide crawling, issue inventory management, log analysis, and prioritization workflows.

Screpy

Strong explicit technical suite spanning audits, crawling, status/redirects/canonicals, broken links, image SEO, Core Web Vitals, PageSpeed, uptime, and index status.

Official feature directory documents the technical modules and their functions: https://screpy.com/features/

Google Lighthouse

No CMS publishing, approvals, or production workflow.

Lighthouse produces reports and JSON output; implementation and publishing happen in external code, CMS, ticketing, or deployment systems.

Screpy

Supports reviewed Markdown draft output, but no official native CMS publishing workflow is documented.

The article feature says users review Markdown output before publishing: https://screpy.com/feature/ai-article-generator/

Google Lighthouse

Can support repeat technical checks through CLI, JSON, and Lighthouse CI.

The CLI, Node module, JSON output, and Lighthouse CI can automate audits and guard against regressions, but Lighthouse does not track rankings, organic visibility, content performance, or business outcomes.

Screpy

Offers rank, map, AI visibility, Core Web Vitals, PageSpeed, uptime, Search Console, analytics, and reports over time.

Monitoring and reporting modules are listed with trend/monitoring functions: https://screpy.com/features/

Google Lighthouse

Shareable reports exist, but no team workflow layer.

Reports can be saved, viewed, shared, or used in CI, but Lighthouse does not provide seats, roles, approvals, tasks, client portals, or agency reporting workflows.

Screpy

Project workspace, team seats, client/white-label reports, and scheduled delivery support team workflows; no detailed review/approval system is claimed.

Pricing lists team-member quotas and Reports included; Project Workspace and White-label SEO Reports are official features: https://screpy.com/pricing/ and https://screpy.com/features/

Google Lighthouse

Excellent access because the core utility is free, open source, and built into common web workflows.

Official docs show Lighthouse can run in Chrome DevTools, CLI, Node, PageSpeed Insights, the Chrome extension, and Lighthouse CI without a paid Lighthouse plan.

Screpy

Transparent low displayed entry price, free trial, and three clear tiers make access relatively straightforward, though key modules are gated.

Pricing shows Pro $6/month, Max $15/month, Ultra $30/month and a 7-day trial: https://screpy.com/pricing/

Google Lighthouse

Strong free utility value for page audits and regression checks.

The public tooling path is free and useful before any paid SEO stack: DevTools, CLI, Node, PageSpeed Insights, report export, and Lighthouse CI.

Screpy

The official site provides several free standalone SEO tools, but they are separate tools and do not imply full platform access.

Screpy lists Website Analyzer, Google Rank Checker, SEO Report Generator, SERP Competitor Research, and Robots.txt Tester under Free SEO Tools: https://screpy.com/

Google Lighthouse

No public customer or user count is scored for Lighthouse itself.

The reviewed official sources document distribution paths and open-source status, but do not publish a durable Lighthouse customer or user count suitable for this market-proof criterion.

Screpy

Official site displays ten named trust logos, but provides no customer count or independently verifiable scale metric.

The homepage trust section names Uber, Philips, FedEx Express, Bosch, Champion, Iconfinder, T-Mobile, Carrefour, Stanley, and Skoda: https://screpy.com/

Google Lighthouse

Useful as an automated audit input, but not an autonomous SEO agent workflow.

Lighthouse can run programmatically and now includes experimental agentic browsing audits, yet it does not plan, execute, remember, or evaluate SEO work as an agent.

Screpy

SEO MCP, REST API, AI-assistant integrations, and n8n provide meaningful agent connectivity, but the official material does not demonstrate broad end-to-end agent autonomy.

Screpy documents SEO MCP/API and integrations with ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and n8n: https://screpy.com/feature/seo-mcp/ and https://screpy.com/integrations/

Google Lighthouse

Easy to run and automate for audits, but outcomes still require expert interpretation and external implementation.

DevTools and PageSpeed are low-friction, while CLI and CI automation are straightforward for technical teams; fixes, prioritization, and publishing remain manual or external.

Screpy

Quick Wins and AI-assisted workflows prioritize and draft work, while review and publishing control remain with users.

Quick Wins prioritizes next actions and the article generator requires review, editing, fact-checking, and publishing control: https://screpy.com/features/ and https://screpy.com/feature/ai-article-generator/
