Which one is for you

Pick Kafkai if

  • Fits if you already work in Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor and want search data inside it
  • Works for one-off research projects, since you pay as you go

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if you want an article writer, because there is no writing tool of its own
  • Not for you if you don't use an AI assistant over MCP
  • Tight if you want rank tracking, since research runs only when asked
  • Watch out: prices are in yen with Japanese consumption tax, and credits expire after 90 days

Pick WordAi if

  • Fits if you rewrite lots of articles at once
  • Works for people who want an API for bulk rewrites

Look elsewhere if

  • Tight if you want to test: 3 days and no free plan
  • Skip it if you want the detection pass on everything, since it caps at 25,000 words on Starter
  • Watch out: the 30-day money-back guarantee only applies if fewer than 10 articles were rewritten
  • Not for you if you want an app or extension, because none is listed

How we grade them

Value for money
CPay-as-you-go credits in yen: ¥1,000 buys 1,000 credits, enough for one project with one competitor. It isn't a monthly plan, so it can't be set against the category cleanly.

Free plan and trial
C1,000 free credits on signup with no card, valid for 90 days.
DA 3-day free trial, shorter than a week, and no free plan.
Features
DKeyword, competitor and backlink research, with Search Console data and WordPress drafts. It needs an AI assistant to be useful and has no writing tool.
CSentence-level rewriting, many variations, bulk rewrite, API and an AI-detection pass. It does that job fully, and it's a narrow one.
Ease of use
DAbout 30 minutes of one-time MCP setup through an AI assistant.
CNo store rating on record. A web tool with settings and variations to learn.
Platforms and integrations

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.
