| Pricing | Not published (pricing page fetch failed this session) · free tier: A free entry point exists — the vendor homepage offers "Start for Free" plus a registration link; contents of the free tier not verified | Not published · free tier: Not published (one third-party page mentions a 14-day free trial; unverified) |
| Pricing model | Subscription with credit/article limits | Subscription |
| Best for | Marketing teams and agencies publishing English blog-style content at steady volume, with an editor in the loop, that already own a keyword/backlink suite and want a dedicated optimisation plus AI-visibility layer on top. | Mid-market and enterprise marketing or content teams, especially in regulated sectors, that need brand-voice consistency enforced across many contributors and governance over how AI accesses company data. |
| Avoid if | You are a freelancer or low-volume publisher where credit limits and cost-per-article bite, you want one tool to replace your whole SEO stack, your content is non-English-first (especially Spanish), your primary job is e-commerce product and category pages, or you have no editorial oversight to challenge the score. | You are a small independent team or agency wanting a published price, a self-serve start and no sales-gated quote — the reported missing mid-tier, per-seat model and contract escalators all work against you. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
