Which one is for you
Pick Junia AI if
- Fits if you write and tune SEO articles yourself and want the research done in the editor
- Makes sense if you publish in several languages, as it writes in 150+
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you want autopilot on Growth, as AutoBlog, bulk generation, the planner, seats and the API start at Scale Starter
- Watch out: the free plan's limits aren't listed on the pricing page
- Too light for AI answer tracking, as LLM visibility starts at Scale Starter and the homepage names only ChatGPT and Claude
- Pricey if you pay monthly, at $34 for Growth and $59 for Scale Starter against $20 and $35 billed yearly
- Watch out: the yearly savings shown don't add up, $168 a year on Growth rather than the $224 the page claims
Pick Keywordly if
- Fits if you want keyword research, topical maps, outlines and drafts in one place before you write
- Works for small content teams publishing to WordPress or Ghost
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you're on Solo, which has no keyword clustering, brand voice or auto-blogging, and covers 20 countries and languages
- Pricey if you want content optimization or AI visibility tracking, which start at Business for $149 a month
- Watch out: cancelling means emailing support at least 15 days before the term ends, your data is deleted, and partial months aren't refunded
- Watch out: prompt tracking, API access and extra projects are still listed as coming soon
- Tight if you want to test it, as the trial lasts 3 days and there's no free plan

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.
