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.
1st
3.0GPAGetGenie
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.
The GetGenie Insider’s Guide2nd
2.6GPAJunia 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 Guide3rd
2.4GPAContadu
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.

Simple enough to make yourself, of 88

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.

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