ClickRank
Automated on-page SEO fixes driven by Search Console data
Content Refresher
WordPress plugin that drafts AI updates for aging blog posts
Which one is for you
Pick ClickRank if
- Fits if you have many pages with weak titles and meta descriptions
- Works for agencies that want one tool across 10 client sites
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you want articles written, because it only edits existing page elements
- Skip it if you cannot add a script to your site header, since the fixes only stay live while it is installed
- Tight if you watch the budget: no free plan or trial, and 2,000 pages crawled a month on the cheapest plan
- Watch out: each website can sit on only one ClickRank account, and the Agency crawl limit is 60,000 pages in one place and 30,000 in another
Pick Content Refresher if
- Fits if you run a WordPress blog with a large archive of posts that go out of date
- Works for teams that want an editor to approve every AI change before it goes live
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if your site isn't on WordPress, as it runs only as a plugin there
- Not for you if you want a free plan, as new installs get one free refresh and then need a monthly plan or tokens
- Tight if you're on Starter, which covers one site and the standard model, with deep research and brand voice from Growth at $49
- Watch out: monthly credits expire, and extra tokens cost $15 for 10 down to $115 for 100
- Watch out: it picks posts by age alone, with nothing on record to tell which ones are losing traffic

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.
