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
Outrank is a web service that plans keywords for a website, writes one SEO article a day and publishes it to the site's blog or CMS. It also builds backlinks by placing links to the site inside relevant articles on other customers' blogs. A single plan covers one website, with add-ons for more articles, human editing and extra backlinks.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Outrank, taken from its own pages and our grades.

The report card
Best for a blog that posts an article a day for you
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
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 Outrank is for
- Fits if you run one business site and want an article posted to it every day without writing it
- Works for agencies running several sites, as the bill drops 10% to 20% across 2 to 25 sites
Who it is not for
- Pricey if you pay monthly, at $99 for one site against $999 for a whole year
- Watch out: backlinks are a swap, so your own articles carry links to other customers' sites
- Tight if you need more than 30 articles a month, as 60 or 90 cost $85 or $160 a month on top
- Watch out: human editing is a separate $1,399 a month, and extra backlink plans run $199 to $1,899
- Watch out: the trial's length isn't stated, and articles written during it carry an Outrank watermark
Good to know
Good for
- Founders and small teams who want a blog that publishes without them

Worth knowing
- The plan covers 30 articles a month for one site; 60 or 90 articles cost $85 or $160 a month more.

- Human editing of every article is a separate service at $1,399 a month.
- The trial length is not stated, and articles written during the trial carry an Outrank watermark.

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 Outrank 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 $1,188 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.
- An image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make.
- It plugs into other products, WordPress, WordPress.com and Webflow 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. Outrank’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.
