Which one is for you
Pick Contentpen if
- Fits if you run a small business blog and want posts scored for Google and AI answers before they go out
- Works for agencies keeping several brands apart in separate workspaces
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you won't hand over a card, as the 7-day trial needs one and there's no free plan
- Tight if you're on Starter, with 12 articles, no Autopilot, no SEO opportunities and no AI-powered editing
- Too light for AI tracking on Starter, which checks ChatGPT and Google AI monthly, with Perplexity from Scale and Claude from Agency
- Watch out: unused articles don't roll over, and add-on packs for articles, images and prompts are sold only on Scale and Agency
- Pricey if you want the API, SSO or custom integrations, which are on Enterprise at a price you get from sales
Pick SEO Bot if
- Fits if you're a founder who wants a blog that runs without daily attention
- Works for sites publishing in languages other than English
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you want to try it first, as no free trial is advertised
- Watch out: prices come from a help article dated September 2025, and the full list only shows after onboarding
- Watch out: backlinks are one placement attempt per article, and you must allow links in your own articles
- Pricey if you upgrade, as you pay the new plan's full price at once rather than the difference

Worth knowing
Contentpen
- The 7-day trial needs a credit card, and there is no free plan.
- Starter tracks only ChatGPT and Google AI, monthly, and has no Autopilot or SEO opportunities; Perplexity starts at Scale, Grok and Claude at Agency.
- Unused articles do not roll over, and add-on packs (articles from $29, images from $19, prompts from $49 a month) are sold only on Scale and Agency.
- AI-powered editing, readability controls, custom instructions and shareable drafts are not on Starter.
SEO Bot
- Prices come from a help-center article dated September 2025; the vendor says the full plan list appears only after you onboard a website.
- No free trial is advertised. The $49 plan is refundable if you are unhappy after the first article, and unused credits within 7 days of purchase.
- Backlinks are a bonus, not a deliverable: each new article earns one placement attempt, and you must allow links in your own articles.
- Upgrading charges the full price of the new plan at once rather than a prorated amount, though unused credits carry over.

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.
