A1 Sitemap Generator review
A focused sitemap utility with broad format support and one-time paid tiers.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
A1 Sitemap Generator is desktop software from Microsys for crawling websites, discovering pages and links, and producing multiple sitemap formats. It suits site owners, developers and SEO professionals who need detailed sitemap generation rather than a broader search-optimization suite. The application runs on Windows and macOS, and supports XML, HTML, RSS, image, video, news, mobile and hreflang sitemaps alongside robots.txt creation and crawl controls.
Pricing is structured around a permanent Free mode and one-time paid editions. Free mode includes core XML and HTML sitemap creation, HREFLang sitemaps, RSS feeds, robots.txt creation and FTP upload, with a limit of 500 page URLs per website. Standard costs $29 one-time and supports up to 25,000 page URLs per website, adding video, image, mobile and news sitemaps plus command-line support. Professional costs $49 one-time, removes the fixed page limit and includes those advanced sitemap types and command-line support. The published offer also includes a 30-day free trial.
Its strongest fit is for projects requiring sitemap breadth and publishing automation. A1 Sitemap Generator can apply nofollow, noindex, canonical and hreflang directives, split XML sitemaps into multiple files, use GZip compression, export crawled data to CSV or XML, upload through FTP, ping search engines and submit URLs through IndexNow. Command-line support enables automated scans and sitemap creation. Choose it when sitemap production is the central requirement; choose a broader SEO platform instead when keyword research, ranking analysis, audits, backlinks or competitor analysis are needed.
