Which one is for you
Pick GravityWrite if
- Fits if you want writing, images and social posts from one credit pool
- Works for someone who will pay for a year up front to get the lower price
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you want to try before paying, since there is no free plan or trial
- Tight if you write a lot: credits are shared, so blogs, images and video draw from the same 500
- Watch out: the $8 price was read in a weekend flash sale on yearly billing, and monthly prices were not shown
- Watch out: credit use changes with the model and output length, so the 15 blogs figure is a ceiling
Pick Koala if
- Fits if you run a blog or affiliate site and publish articles in volume
- Works for WordPress and Shopify sites that want drafts sent straight to the site
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you want a free plan, as the free allowance is one-time
- Watch out: word allowances assume one model, and the others count double or triple
- Tight if you lean on the SEO agent, at 25 messages a month on Starter and 50 on Professional
- Pricey if you write for several brands, as each extra one is $29 a month
- Watch out: refunds come only within 15 days, and only if under 15,000 words and 100 credits were 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.
