Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Frase

The entry-level Starter plan is capped at a single seat and site, which limits it to solo users rather than small teams.
Overage charges apply per extra article or audit page once monthly plan limits are exceeded on Professional and Scale.
Free trial features are limited to Professional-tier functionality for 7 days rather than reflecting the full product.

Sitebulb

Desktop plans are limited to a single user, so teams need Sitebulb Cloud or paid add-on seats to collaborate.
Large sites near or above the 500,000 URL Pro limit require reconfiguration or the Cloud tier to avoid hitting crawl caps.
Desktop crawling relies on local machine resources, so audit speed and scale depend on the user's hardware rather than cloud infrastructure.
