Which one is for you

Pick Frase if

  • Fits if you want articles drafted and published with little work on your part
  • Works for agencies running content for up to 10 client sites on Scale at $239 a month

Look elsewhere if

  • Tight if you publish a lot, as Starter stops at 10 articles a month with no overage option
  • Pricey if you need a team, since 3 seats means Professional at $103 a month, and extra seats are $29 each
  • Not for you if you need white-label reports or a client portal, which are Enterprise only
  • Watch out: reporting history is current only on Starter, 3 months on Professional and 12 on Scale
  • Too light for watching many pages on Starter, which tracks 10 pages for decay and 50 AI prompts

Pick Keytomic if

  • Fits if you're a founder who wants posts planned, written and published once you approve them
  • Works for brands that want Reddit threads to join tracked next to their SEO work

Look elsewhere if

  • Watch out: the trial costs $1 and becomes $99 a month after 3 days unless you cancel it
  • Pricey if you run several sites, as each plan covers one site and Pro allows 3 seats
  • Skip it if you need Claude or Perplexity tracked, which only the $999 managed plan covers
  • Watch out: a refund needs no more than one article written and under 10% of any allowance used

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.
