Credit packs, not a subscription: $9 buys 1 credit, $19 buys 3 and $29 buys 10, at one credit per roast, each shown against a struck-through anchor of $15, $45 and $150. A separate $349 slot buys a month of promotion to site visitors with basic analytics.
Use tool ↗About Botroast
Botroast screenshots the page you point it at and returns a scored critique split into eight named categories — overall feedback, design foundations, visual hierarchy, layout and spacing, colour theory, depth, design assets and fine details — each with a summary, specific items and a numeric score, plus one overall score for the page. Results get a shareable public link and other users can react to them, so finished roasts double as a browsable gallery you can learn from. It is sold in credit packs rather than a subscription, one credit per roast, and there is a separate paid slot for promoting your own design services to visitors. It is an indie project credited on the site to Tim Wheeler, with no company behind it.

Pros & cons of Botroast
A cheap, fast second opinion on a landing page, structured well enough to act on — eight scored categories beat a paragraph of generic advice, and the public gallery of past roasts is useful on its own. Credits mean no subscription to forget about. The limit is fundamental: it is judging a static screenshot, so it cannot see your funnel, your interactions or anything the visitor does after the fold.
Pros
- Eight scored categories with per-item notes rather than one vague summary
- Credit packs from $9 with no subscription to cancel
- Shareable public result pages plus a gallery of previous roasts
- Runs from a URL with no upload, plugin or setup
Cons
- It judges a screenshot, so interaction, performance and accessibility are out of scope
- No company or legal entity behind it — it is one person's side project
- Credit pricing is not linear and the single $9 credit is the worst value
- No API and no way to batch several pages at once
Best for
- Indie makers who want a sanity check before launch
- Founders with no designer on the team
- Anyone iterating a landing page who wants a scored before-and-after
Not for
- Teams that need accessibility auditing or usability testing with real people
- Anyone expecting critique grounded in conversion data
Watch out: The struck-through anchor prices of $15, $45 and $150 are permanent page decoration rather than a former price anyone paid.
