Which one is for you
Pick Autorank if
- Fits if you run several sites, since the one $49 plan covers unlimited sites
- Works for site owners whose Search Console shows queries they have no page for
Look elsewhere if
- Watch out: the backlink exchange gives links from your articles to other member sites in return for theirs
- Not for you if you want more than 3 days to try it, and the trial needs a card
- Skip it if you haven't got Search Console data, as topics then come from a stock niche list
- Tight if you need more or fewer than 30 articles a month, as there's only the one plan
- Watch out: refunds are decided case by case, and the $99 it's set against has no end date
Pick Casper if
- Fits if your site needs a handful of articles a month published without you
- Works for teams who want blog output and AI answer checks in one account, with unlimited members
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you want to try it first, as there's no free plan, no trial and no refund
- Tight if you're on Starter, at 5 articles, 5 prompts and 10 keyword searches a month
- Pricey if you need volume, as 30 articles means Pro at $99 a month
- Watch out: Advanced at $249 adds only 10 articles over Pro; the step up is mostly prompts
- Watch out: the pricing page shows daily figures, and the monthly prices sit in its FAQ

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
