Which one is for you
Pick Floyi if

Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you're staying free, as briefs and drafts are paid-only and you get one topical research run, ever
- Watch out: a finished article costs 300 credits, monthly credits don't roll over, and extra ones are $7 per 1,000 on Pro
- Skip it if your site isn't on WordPress, as one-click publishing supports only WordPress so far, apart from GitHub
- Pricey if your team grows, as extra seats are $15 a month on Pro and $10 on Scale
- Watch out: the homepage calls the free 500 credits a one-off start, while the pricing table lists them per month

- Makes sense if you want article writing and AI answer tracking in one account
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you're on Starter, at 5 new articles, 5 optimizations and 5 clusters a month

- Skip it if you need daily AI answer checks, as prompts are checked weekly and Perplexity needs Professional at $199
- Pricey if you want internal links, audits or auto-publishing, which start at Plus for $89 a month
- Watch out: yearly prices only show as a time-limited Black Friday deal, with no regular yearly price

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.
