Prerender vs SnapSearch: What are the differences?
What is Prerender? Allow your javascript apps to be crawled perfectly by search engines. Works for AngularJS, BackboneJS, EmberJS and more. Search engines and social networks are always trying to crawl your pages, but they only see the javascript tags...We render your javascript in a browser, save the static HTML, and you return that to the crawlers!.
What is SnapSearch? Search Engine Optimisation for Javascript, HTML 5 and Single Page Applications. Snapsearch is a search engine optimisation (SEO) and robot proxy for complex front-end javascript & AJAX enabled (potentially realtime) HTML5 web applications. Snapsearch's middleware detects and intercepts requests made by search engines, then sends its own javascript enabled scrapers to cache a snapshot of your web page. The snapshot is seamlessly and transparently passed back to the search engine through your web application.
Prerender and SnapSearch can be categorized as "SEO for Javascript" tools.
