Which one is for you
Pick Jasper if
- Fits if your marketing team needs copy written in one set brand voice
- Works for companies ready to set up brand voices, audiences and knowledge before they write
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you're one person who just wants help writing, at $59 a month yearly or $69 monthly, for one seat
- Skip it if you want a free plan or a team on Pro: it's a 7-day trial, and more seats mean custom-priced Business on a 12-month term
- Watch out: the API, SSO, agent builder, Jasper Grid and team collaboration are Business only, and some Business agents use credits on top
- Tight if you need more than the Pro limits of 2 brand voices, 5 knowledge assets and 3 audiences
- Not for you if you want a desktop or phone app, as it's web plus a Chrome and Edge extension
Pick Moonbeam if
- Fits if you draft long pieces alone and want a writing assistant
- Works for people who want custom writing styles
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you pay: $49 a month, and $99 a seat on Team
- Skip it if you want to know the free limits, because they aren't published
- Not for you if you write with others, since collaboration needs Team
- Watch out: only the yearly-billed price is shown, so monthly cost is unknown
How we grade them
| 2.2GPAJasperFair | 1.8GPAMoonbeamWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | DPro is $59 a seat a month billed yearly, $69 monthly, and that buys one seat. The middle of this category is $8.33 and its dearest tenth starts at $15.00, so this is several times a typical writing tool, and dearer than ChatGPT or Claude on its own list of rivals. | D$49 a month billed yearly for one user, past the category's dearest tenth, which starts at $25. The monthly-billed price isn't shown. |
| Free plan and trial | CNo free plan. There's a 7-day trial of Pro and the listing doesn't say whether it wants a card. When the week is out it's $69 a month, or $59 if you sign up for the year. | CThe site mentions a free plan, but its limits aren't published. |
| Features | BA document editor in Canvas, a chat assistant, more than 100 prebuilt marketing agents, image generating and editing, and Jasper IQ holding the brand voices, audiences and company knowledge that output draws on. The marketing-copy job covered, though Pro holds you to 2 brand voices and 5 knowledge assets. | CLong-form and social writing, chat, content clusters, templates and custom styles. Collaboration and integrations need Team. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record, and it isn't a thing you just start using: brand voices, audiences and knowledge assets are yours to build before the output follows your rules, and there are 100-odd agents to find your way around. Canvas is simple enough once you're there. | CNo store rating on record. Wizard, chat and style settings to learn. |
| Platforms and integrations | BA web app with an extension for Chrome and Edge, add-ins inside Google Docs and Microsoft Word, and links to Slack, Webflow, Zapier, Make and Semrush. No desktop or phone app at all, and the API is Business only, which is what keeps it off an A. | CWeb and a Chrome extension; integrations only on Team. |
| Best for | marketing copy that sticks to a brand voice | long-form drafts like essays |

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.
