Welcome

What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

2.2

GPA, above 18 of the 78 other SEO plugins and apps we grade

Essential AI SEO: AI Blog Post is a Shopify app from Essential Apps that writes blog posts from a topic, keywords, tone, length and outline, with an optional AI featured image. Posts go to the Shopify blog as hidden drafts for you to review and publish, whichever blog builder the store uses. Plans differ only in how many posts can be generated each month, from 3 on the free plan to 300.

To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Essential AI SEO: AI Blog Post, taken from its own pages and our grades.

No rating on record, but there's nothing to set up: type a topic and keywords, and the post arrives as a hidden draft in your Shopify blog.

The report card

Best for AI blog drafts for a Shopify store

Essential AI SEO writes Shopify blog posts from a topic, keywords, tone and outline in 13 languages, with an optional AI featured image. Posts land as hidden drafts and the app leaves layout and publishing to you. The free plan stops at 3 posts a month, and the maker's own site calls the app completely free, which the listing doesn't bear out.

ToolGPA report cardEssential AI SEO: AI Blog PostGraded Oct 23, 2026
SubjectGradeComment
Value for moneyCStarter is $9.99 every 30 days for 30 posts, just under this category's $10.99 middle, or $95.88 a year. 100 posts a month is $29.99 and 300 is $99.99, with the same features on each.
Free plan and trialCFree for 3 posts a month with every feature, which is enough to try it but not to run a blog on. The listing shows no free trial of the paid plans.
FeaturesDWrites posts from a topic, keywords, tone, length and outline in 13 languages, in bulk from Starter, with AI featured images. That's one narrow function: drafts only, with layout and publishing left to Shopify and your theme.
Ease of useBNo rating on record, but there's nothing to set up: type a topic and keywords, and the post arrives as a hidden draft in your Shopify blog.
Platforms and integrationsBWeb, inside the Shopify admin, using ChatGPT and listed as working with Bloggle, DropInBlog, Avada and SEOAnt. No phone or desktop app.
Grade point averageFair, out of 4.02.2

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 Essential AI SEO: AI Blog Post is for

  • Fits if you're starting a Shopify blog and need a few posts a month
  • Works for stores writing for shoppers in several languages

Who it is not for

  • Skip it if your store isn't on Shopify, as it installs only from the Shopify App Store
  • Tight if you stay free, at 3 posts a month, and there's no trial of the paid plans
  • Watch out: posts arrive as hidden drafts, and layout and publishing are left to Shopify and your theme
  • Watch out: Essential's own site calls the app completely free, while the listing caps the free plan at 3 posts
  • Too light for meta tags, schema or redirects, which the listing doesn't cover

Good to know

Good for

  • Shopify stores starting a blog with a few posts a month
  • Merchants who write for shoppers in several languages
  • Stores that already use another blog builder

Worth knowing

  • Works only on Shopify stores; it is installed from the Shopify App Store.
  • The free plan generates 3 posts a month; more needs a paid plan, from 30 posts for $9.99 a month, and the listing shows no free trial.
  • Posts arrive as hidden drafts; the help center says the app does not control layout or publishing, which is left to Shopify and the theme.
  • Essential's own site calls the app completely free, while the listing caps the free plan at 3 posts a month.

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 Essential AI SEO: AI Blog Post you would be making an image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 46 of the 78 other SEO plugins and apps grade higher. It costs $119.88 a year.

What you could make

  • Long-form writing: an app builder makes this well.

What you could not

  • An image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make.
  • It plugs into other products, Shopify Admin, ChatGPT and Bloggle among them.
  • AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.

What this rests on. Essential AI SEO: AI Blog Post’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.
