SISTRIX: The dashboard is reproducible; the expensive part is continuously collecting, cleaning, storing, and defending a useful index of the web.

what AI can build
Build a focused SEO intelligence audit for user-owned sites that crawls pages, records technical signals, and exports a prioritized CSV and HTML report.
Do not mistake the interface for the product. SISTRIX's durable value is proprietary data, index, crawl scale, which a solo one-shot build cannot reproduce responsibly. The prompt therefore builds only the closest honest personal consolation tool.

the prompt
Catalog estimateBuild the closest honest consolation tool inspired by SISTRIX; do not claim to replace its structural moat. Use exactly this stack: Python 3.12 + Typer + SQLite + Playwright. Primary job: Build a focused SEO intelligence audit for user-owned sites that crawls pages, records technical signals, and exports a prioritized CSV and HTML report. Start from an empty folder and create the complete working project. Make the default mode single-user and private. Store user data locally unless the core job requires the declared self-hosted database. Do not add analytics, telemetry, ads, or third-party accounts. Put every secret and external credential in .env and provide .env.example. Use realistic sample data that is clearly labelled and easy to delete. Implement the smallest polished interface that completes the core loop end to end. Include clear empty, loading, validation, success, and failure states. Add import and export so the user is not trapped in the app. Use accessible keyboard navigation, labels, focus states, and sensible contrast. Validate untrusted input and never log secrets or private file contents. Deliberately exclude these paid-product advantages: fresh proprietary keyword, backlink, or ranking data; proprietary web and keyword indexes; fresh rank and clickstream data. Do not fake integrations, network effects, proprietary data, model quality, compliance, or security claims. Where an external API is optional, keep the app useful without it and explain the degraded mode. Write focused unit tests for the data model and the most important workflow. Add one end-to-end smoke test that proves the core loop works. Create a README with setup, permissions, architecture, data location, backup, and limitations. Add scripts for install, development, test, build, and a production-style local run. Run the tests and build before finishing, then fix errors rather than merely describing them.

questions
Can AI replace SISTRIX?
Not really. SISTRIX's value is not just interface code — proprietary data/index/crawl scale. See the honest breakdown above.
How much does SISTRIX cost?
SISTRIX's pricing is usage-based or varies by plan. Use the linked pricing source for the current amount; the catalog last checked it on 2026-07-31.
What do I lose by replacing SISTRIX?
Honestly: fresh proprietary keyword, backlink, or ranking data; proprietary web and keyword indexes; fresh rank and clickstream data; large-scale crawling infrastructure; historical competitor datasets and support. If any of those are load-bearing for you, keep paying.
Is there an open-source alternative to SISTRIX?
Yes — Lighthouse (Open-source automated auditing for performance, accessibility, and SEO.), Unlighthouse (Open-source site-wide Lighthouse crawler and dashboard.). Using prior art is also a valid exit; the prompt is for when you want it exactly your way.
