Outrank picks keywords for one website, writes an article a day and posts it to your CMS, and it swaps backlinks with other customers' blogs. It's $99 a month for one site and 30 articles, the trial's length isn't stated, and those backlinks only come because your own articles carry links to other people's sites. - **Value for money: D.** $99 a month for one site and 30 articles, which is where this category's dearest tenth starts. Paying $999 for the year brings it to about $83.25 a month, the dearer quarter. 60 or 90 articles cost $85 or $160 a month more. - **Free plan and trial: C.** No free plan. You can sign up and see the keyword research and articles before paying, but the trial's length isn't stated and trial articles carry an Outrank watermark. - **Features: B.** Keyword research with live volume and difficulty, a 30-day plan, a daily article with images, publishing to seven CMSs, backlink swaps and flags on articles that need a rewrite. Nothing in the listing shows a gap in the core job. - **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. You connect a CMS or a webhook and look over a 30-day plan, and the backlinks depend on hosting other sites' links in your posts. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, with no desktop or phone app. It publishes to WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, Framer, Wix, Notion and Ghost, or through a webhook, and has an API.

That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $1,188 a year. - You could make: Long-form writing and internal linking: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date. - You could not: An image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make. - You could not: It plugs into other products, WordPress, WordPress.com and Webflow among them, and has an API. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
