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
Wordmetrics is a web-based writing editor for SEO content. For a chosen search phrase it reads the pages that rank, builds a semantic index of related terms, highlights them as you write and grades the draft, alongside a readability check. It does not generate text, and plans are sold by the number of optimized posts a month.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Wordmetrics, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No rating on record, but there's nothing to connect: type a target phrase, write or paste a draft, and it grades the text as you go.
- 1
Best for scoring your own drafts against ranking pages
It doesn't write anything for you, unused credits don't roll over, and the site still calls it a private beta.
- 2
Paid plans start at $30 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $30 per month for 15 optimized posts.
- 3
You can try it first
1-week free trial on Lite and Pro; cancel within the week to pay nothing
- 4
It runs on Web
Web.
- 5
Semantic Index
Lists the terms search engines associate with a target phrase, drawn from ranking pages, with each term's relevance and sample sentences.
- 6
Live relevance grade
Highlights index terms as you type and grades the draft with a letter score; the vendor suggests aiming for B+ or higher.
- 7
Readability analysis
Checks how easy the draft is to read alongside the relevance score.
- 8
A 2.2 GPA, above 35 of 87
That is against the other SEO content tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.

Keep it
Nothing Wordmetrics does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 2 things listed below take a company.

The report card
Best for scoring your own drafts against ranking pages
Wordmetrics grades a draft you wrote yourself against the terms ranking pages use, with a letter score as you type, from $30 a month for 15 posts. It doesn't write anything for you, unused credits don't roll over, and the site still calls it a private beta.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Lite is $30 a month for 15 optimized posts, between this category's cheapest quarter ($20) and its middle ($45), so it's ordinary. Pro is $50 for 30. Billing is monthly only, and unused post credits don't roll over. |
| Free plan and trial | C | No free plan. Lite and Pro start with a week free, and nothing on record says a card is needed, but it rolls into the monthly price unless you cancel within the week. Pro Plus at $75 has no trial at all. |
| Features | C | A semantic index of the terms ranking pages use, a live letter grade as you type, readability checks and re-checking old posts. It does draft scoring fully, but that's a smaller job: it writes nothing, and no keyword research or publishing is on record. |
| Ease of use | B | No rating on record, but there's nothing to connect: type a target phrase, write or paste a draft, and it grades the text as you go. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with no integrations or API on record. There's no mobile support either: its own help center says it's meant for laptops and desktops. |
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 Wordmetrics is for
- Fits if you write every word yourself and want term guidance while you draft
- Works for freelancers updating older posts against the pages that now outrank them
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want articles written for you, as it only scores text you write or paste
- Watch out: the week's trial rolls into $30 a month unless you cancel it in time
- Tight if you have a slow month, since unused post credits reset and don't roll over
- Not for you if you work from a phone or tablet, as there's no mobile support
- Watch out: the site still calls it a private beta and only lists monthly billing
Good to know
Good for
- Writers who draft their own text and want term guidance as they go
- Updating evergreen posts against the pages that now outrank them
- Freelancers who need a low monthly cost
Worth knowing
- It does not write content; it only scores and guides text you write or paste.
- Monthly post credits reset each billing period and do not roll over.
- There is no mobile support; the help center says it is meant for laptops and desktops.
- The site still describes the product as being in private beta, and lists monthly billing only.
