Getting started with Crawlmind

Sign up at crawlmind.ai/register with email + password, or use Google / GitHub sign-in. Email verification is required for production accounts but you can run audits immediately. Free tier: no card on file, 5 crawls/month, 10 pages/crawl, 50K AI tokens/month.

Every crawl belongs to an organization. After verifying email you'll see an empty dashboard with a "Create organization" prompt — pick a name, the slug auto-generates. Organizations hold the subscription, the billing customer, the team members, and the websites. One person can belong to many orgs (Agency plan use case).

From your dashboard → Websites → Add website. Paste a root URL (e.g. https://example.com). The crawler obeys the registrable host — adding https://example.com automatically covers www.example.com but not blog.example.com (unless you tick "Include subdomains"). Verification is optional for the audit itself but unlocks white-label PDF exports.

Open the website → Run audit. Pick:

• Max pages — start with 25 to get a feel. Plan caps at Free=10, Pro=200, Agency=2000, Enterprise=custom.
• Render mode — HTTP is the default and crawls 5-10× faster. Switch to Playwright (rendered Chromium) only if the site relies on client-side rendering for content. See /docs/crawls for the full trade-off.

The job moves through PENDING → QUEUED → RUNNING → SUCCEEDED. Expect under 90s for a 25-page HTTP crawl.
