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: 18 of the 28 other YouTube SEO tools grade higher. It costs $996 a year. - You could make: Long-form writing: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: An image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make. - You could not: A video model, which you can rent by the second but not make. - You could not: Search data for YouTube topics and channels. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Claude, ChatGPT and Claude Code among them, and has an API. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
