That does sound like a key differentiating feature, thanks for clarifying. While I'd probably prefer to hook up an open-source web-crawler to lighthouse (e.g., something like github/lightcrawler [1]), I could see SEO/marketing experts in particular paying for a user-friendly all-in-one solution like this versus cobbling something together from open-source tools.

Yes, so I think the UI is a really important factor here in terms of productivity and ease of use. For example, after Checkbot has scanned your localhost/development site and identified a page has the same title as other pages, you can edit your site, hit the "recrawl" button for that page and confirm your fix worked in a few seconds. Users I've worked with so far have really appreciated this fast and simple workflow.
