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: 53 of the 87 other SEO content tools grade higher. It costs $390 a year. - You could make: Long-form writing, schema markup and reports: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date. - You could not: The same prompts asked of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI answers every day, and the answers kept. - You could not: A score built from what the top results for each keyword cover. - You could not: It plugs into other products, WordPress, OpenAI and Google Gemini among them. - 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.
