LogLens vs JetOctopus
JetOctopus is a mature enterprise SEO platform at €383/month — five to ten times LogLens. For that premium you don't get real-time bot IP verification, AI-crawler alias handling, or SMB-friendly pricing. You get a crawler you probably don't need monthly, and pay for it every month.
Paying ten years of inertia premium
JetOctopus has 10 years of platform maturity — which shows up in both the product and the pricing. If you need that level of depth, pay for it. Most teams don't.
Pay €383/month for everything, including things you won't use
Mature platform. Includes a JS-rendering crawler, log analyzer, GSC integration, segmentation — and you pay the enterprise price whether you use all of it or not. Entry tier is €383/month billed annually. Their AI-crawler story is a bolt-on module, not a first-class feature. No tri-state bot IP verification. No Cloudflare or Vercel native integration.
Real-time log analysis, priced for the real world
Purpose-built for streaming log analysis. Real-time from Cloudflare, Vercel, or CloudFront — first-class for each. Tri-state bot IP verification. AI-crawler aliasing (GPTBot, ChatGPT-User and OAI-SearchBot all verify against the same OpenAI ranges — not treated as separate unverified bots). SMB-to-mid-market pricing. When we add a JS crawler, we'll charge you for it separately — not bundled into a €383/month floor you're paying regardless.

What you give up for that €383/month
JetOctopus's entry price buys you a bundle. Here's what LogLens gives you — for a fraction — and what JetOctopus charges extra for or skips entirely.

- Tri-state bot IP verification (verified / unverified / no_ranges)
- AI-crawler alias handling (GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot as one OpenAI identity)
- First-class Cloudflare, Vercel, or CloudFront integrations — you're on file / FTP
- Attack-path classification for wp-login / xmlrpc / .env / admin probes
- Advanced anomaly alerting with EMA baselines and freeze-during-active

The log-analysis capability you want, without the enterprise premium
LogLens delivers everything JetOctopus does on the log side — better bot verification, richer AI-crawler handling, smarter alerting — at a fraction of the cost. If and when you need a standalone JS crawler, pair LogLens with any dedicated crawler. You'll still pay less than JetOctopus's floor.
