The report card
Best for content plans and NLP scoring for agencies
Contadu plans content from competitor and keyword analysis and scores drafts against the terms and entities in the top Google results, with AI writing, plagiarism checks and tasks for writers. There's no free plan, only a 7-day trial. Freelance stops at 5 projects, and its maker also sells NeuronWriter, which covers much of the same ground.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Freelance is $37 a month billed yearly ($47 monthly), between this category's cheaper quarter ($20) and its middle ($45), with unlimited team members. Business, with 10 projects, is $77. |
| Free plan and trial | C | No free plan, but a 7-day trial once you make an account, and the listing doesn't say it needs a card. Refunds cover the first plan bought, within 30 days. |
| Features | B | A strategy planner with topical maps and clusters, an editor with NLP terms and entities, AI writing, plagiarism checks, internal links, tasks and reports. The whole job, though own-CMS editor integration and extended API access need Enterprise. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. Strategies, writer analyses, AI words and projects each have their own monthly cap to keep track of. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web plus a Chrome extension for Google Docs, WordPress and Shopify editors, with Search Console, Zapier, OpenAI and Anthropic. Extended API access needs Enterprise. No desktop or phone app. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

- Tight if you run more than 5 sites, since Freelance stops at 5 projects

- Watch out: the same company sells NeuronWriter, which covers much of the same ground

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Contadu you would be making search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.4 is higher than 59 of the 87 other SEO content tools we grade. It costs $444 a year.
What you could make
- Internal linking and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date.
- A score built from what the top results for each keyword cover.
- It plugs into other products, WordPress, Google Search Console and Google Docs among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Contadu’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
