What each price buys.

The gap that matters is not the number. It is whether anything actually uses your site.

Why the range is this wide.

1.0

Most tools read one page.

A grader loads your home page and scores it. Your checkout is where the money leaks, and it is never the page that gets scored.

2.0

Almost nothing presses a button.

Reading markup is cheap. Opening a filter, a cart and a form, then recording what broke, is the part that costs money. It is also the part that finds real problems.

3.0

You are usually paying for hours.

Agency pricing is a headcount question. When the walk and the timing run on their own, the price stops tracking hours and starts tracking judgment.

Questions people ask before they buy.

How much does a website audit cost?

Anywhere from nothing to about $25,000. Free graders check one page. Scan subscriptions run $9 to $30 a month. A one time Deep Scan from Voltic is $99. Human agencies start near $1,000 and go up from there. The number tracks how much of the work a person does.

How much does a professional SEO audit cost in 2026?

Tool subscriptions sit between $7 and $400 a month. A person writing the report for you usually starts around $500 and often passes $2,000. Ask what you get back. A crawl export is not an audit.

Can you audit a website for free?

Partly. Free graders and our own instant scan will score one page and name the obvious problems. You will not get every page walked, real load timing, or a fix list you can hand to a developer. Our free scan opens 3 findings and tells you how many it is holding back.

What do you actually get for the money?

For $99 you get every page walked, every safe control pressed, load timing on each page, accessibility and AI search checks, and a ranked fix list with a developer handoff sheet. Same day, as a web report and a PDF.

Why is Voltic $99 when agencies charge thousands?

Because an agency is selling time and we are not. The walk, the timing and the checks run without a person watching. Judgment still goes into the ranking and the writing. That is why it is $99 and not free.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Nothing goes on your site. No tag, no script, no plugin, no access to your admin. We read the site the way a visitor would.
