Part 02 · Top three

Our top three

The three we'd look at first, and who each one suits

The three SEO content tools we'd look at first. First place suits the most people; second and third are the best picks for the people it leaves out. Each has an Insider's Guide of its own.

  1. 1st

    3.0GPA

    GetGenie

    Free plan · from $10/mo

    For: Bloggers and site owners on WordPress

    GetGenie works inside the WordPress editor, with a web Playground elsewhere. It suggests NLP and semantic keywords, builds topical maps, breaks down the pages ranking for a keyword, drafts posts with its Blog Wizard and scores drafts live on keyword coverage, headings and structure. The free plan has 2,500 AI words and 5 SERP analyses a month with no card, and Starter is $10 a month for 20,000 words and 12 analyses, with unlimited sites and users. Know the limits: words and analyses are capped each month, bonus word packs have no published price, and image generations on paid plans come only with yearly billing.

  2. 2nd

    2.6GPA

    Junia AI

    Free plan · from $20/mo

    For: Writers whose site is not on WordPress

    Junia AI is a web app that researches the pages that rank, writes long-form articles with links and images in a co-writing editor, reworks older posts to raise their content score and publishes to WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Webflow, Blogger, Ghost and Medium in 150+ languages. Growth is $20 a month billed yearly ($34 monthly) for 10 articles. It is second because it costs twice GetGenie's Starter, the free plan's limits are not published, and AutoBlog, bulk writing, the content planner, team seats and the API start at Scale Starter, $35 a month billed yearly.

    The Junia AI Insider’s Guide
  3. 3rd

    2.4GPA

    Contadu

    Free trial · from $37/mo

    For: Agencies and teams handing briefs to writers

    Contadu plans content from competitor and keyword analysis with topical maps and clusters, scores drafts against NLP terms and entities from the top Google results, and adds AI writing, plagiarism checks, internal link suggestions and tasks with due dates for outside writers. Freelance is $37 a month billed yearly ($47 monthly) with unlimited team members, after a 7-day trial. It is third because it costs more than the two above, has no free plan, stops at 5 projects on Freelance, and needs Enterprise at $293 a month for its editor inside your own CMS and extended API access.

Part 05 · Keep or make

Keep or make?

Which are worth paying for, and which you could make yourself

0

Simple enough to make yourself, of 88

Some software does something you couldn’t reasonably build yourself. Some is simple enough that an AI app builder could make the core of it in an afternoon. Here’s where SEO content tools land, by the same rules for every tool.

  • 87

    Keep it

    It does something you could not reasonably make for yourself, or it costs nothing.

  • 1

    Your call

    You could make the core of it, and you would give something up.

  • 0

    You could make this

    What it does is the kind of thing an AI app builder makes well, and it charges every month.

Worth keeping

  • GetGenie

    To replace GetGenie you would be making search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

  • Publish Owl

    To replace Publish Owl you would be making search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

  • Autoblogging.ai

    The plain part of Autoblogging.ai you could make: long-form writing, internal linking and link outreach. What surrounds it you could not. The 5 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.

  • BlogBuster

    The plain part of BlogBuster you could make: long-form writing and internal linking. What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
