Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 35 of the 87 other SEO content tools we grade
Contentpen is a web app that researches keywords, writes blog posts with images and links, scores them for Google and AI answers, and publishes them to a site's CMS on a schedule or on autopilot. It also reads Search Console data for quick wins and tracks how often a brand appears in AI engines such as ChatGPT and Google AI for a set of prompts.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Contentpen, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You connect your CMS and Search Console, set up a workspace and learn its two scores before posts go out on their own.

The report card
Best for blog posts scored for Google and AI answers
Contentpen researches keywords, writes posts with images and links, scores them for Google and AI answers and publishes them on a schedule. Starter is $39 a month billed yearly for 12 articles, with no Autopilot and AI tracking in only ChatGPT and Google AI. The 7-day trial needs a card, and there's no free plan.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Starter is $39 a month billed yearly ($468 a year), or $49 monthly, for 12 articles. That's an ordinary price here, between this category's cheaper quarter at $20 and its dearer quarter at $83. Autopilot needs Growth at $79 yearly. |
| Free plan and trial | D | No free plan. The 7-day trial on every paid plan needs a credit card. |
| Features | B | Keyword research and clusters, a blog writer with SERP analysis, SEO and GEO scoring with one-click fixes, interlinking, bulk runs, Autopilot, Search Console flags for content decay and AI answer tracking. It covers the whole job, with Autopilot from Growth. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. You connect your CMS and Search Console, set up a workspace and learn its two scores before posts go out on their own. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web only, with no desktop or phone app. It publishes to WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, Wix and Ghost, reads Search Console, links to ContentStudio and sends webhooks. An API is Enterprise only. |
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.
Who Contentpen is for
- Fits if you run a small business blog and want posts scored for Google and AI answers before they go out
- Works for agencies keeping several brands apart in separate workspaces
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you won't hand over a card, as the 7-day trial needs one and there's no free plan
- Tight if you're on Starter, with 12 articles, no Autopilot, no SEO opportunities and no AI-powered editing
- Too light for AI tracking on Starter, which checks ChatGPT and Google AI monthly, with Perplexity from Scale and Claude from Agency
- Watch out: unused articles don't roll over, and add-on packs for articles, images and prompts are sold only on Scale and Agency
- Pricey if you want the API, SSO or custom integrations, which are on Enterprise at a price you get from sales
Good to know
Good for
- Small businesses that want a steady flow of blog posts without a writer

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 Contentpen 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 costs $468 a year.
What you could make
- Long-form writing and internal linking: 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.
- The same prompts asked of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI answers every day, and the answers kept.
- It plugs into other products, WordPress, Webflow and Shopify among them.
- 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. Contentpen’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.
