Which one is for you
Pick hrefStack if
- Fits if you're a small team that wants keyword gaps turned into published articles
- Works for sites on WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Ghost or Sanity
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free, at 10,000 words a month, 2,000 per article and no research features
- Pricey if you need the API, custom prompts or team seats, which wait on Pro at $69 a month
- Watch out: allowances are counted in words, so long articles mean fewer of them
- Watch out: the AI agent and competitor gaps are listed only from Starter at $45 a month
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
hrefStack
- The free plan has no research features and caps articles at 2,000 words and 10,000 words a month.
- API access, custom prompts and team collaboration need the Pro plan.
- Allowances are counted in words, not articles, so the number of articles a month depends on their length.
- The AI agent and the research tools, competitor gaps included, are listed only from the Starter plan up.
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.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
