An honest, side-by-side look at what the leading AI SEO content tools actually cost, what they include, and whether they publish to your site for you. No inflated claims — just the numbers from each company's own pricing page.
Free: 2 articles, no card · then from $4.99/mo
Every tool on this page writes good SEO content — that's table stakes in 2026. The real differences are what it costs to keep publishing, and whether the content actually reaches your site without you copy-pasting it every week. So that's what we compared, using each company's live pricing page.
| Tool | Cheapest plan | What you get | Auto-publishes to WordPress |
Free to start |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rozzpost | $4.99/mo | 20 posts/mo, unlimited businesses | Yes — even behind firewalls | No card, Free: 2 articles |
| SEOwriting | $19/mo ($14 annual) | Up to 50 articles/mo, unlimited words | Yes (+ Shopify) | Free: 3 articles |
| Koala | $25/mo | 45,000 words + 500 credits/mo | Yes (+ Shopify) | Free: 5,000 words |
| Jasper | $69/mo ($59 annual) | Marketing-copy suite (no post cap published) | No native — manual / Zapier | 2 free articles |
| Byword | $99/mo ($83 annual) | 25 articles/mo, 5 domains | Yes (+ Webflow) | 5 free articles |
| Arvow (formerly Journalist AI) | $69/mo (promo $39 annual) | 1,000 credits/mo (~66 articles), 1 site | Yes (+ more) | None stated |
Figures are each product's cheapest advertised plan as of October 2026, taken from their own pricing pages (month-to-month unless an annual price is noted). Credit- and word-based plans convert to a different number of finished posts depending on length and options. Pricing and features change often — check each site for current details before deciding.
$4.99/month is the lowest starting price in this group — and you can start free with no credit card.
A pull-based plugin publishes even when Cloudflare, Sucuri, Wordfence or GoDaddy block the usual WordPress connection — a common failure point for other tools.
Approve a month of posts and let them publish on their own — with meta description, slug and schema added automatically.
Every tool here can publish to WordPress except Jasper; what none of them advertise is publishing that survives a security firewall. That's the gap Rozzpost is built to close.
Jasper is the pick if you want a broad marketing-copy assistant for ads, emails and campaigns, not just blog posts — publishing simply isn't its focus.
Byword and Arvow lean into volume and extras (multiple CMSs, backlinks, large article batches) at a higher price — sensible if that's the scale you need. Koala is a strong mid-priced all-rounder with generous word limits.
SEOwriting is the one genuinely low-cost rival at about $19/month ($14 billed yearly), and it's a capable tool. Rozzpost goes further on the two things that trip most people up: it starts even lower at $4.99, and it's the only one here that advertises publishing even when your site's firewall blocks the standard route — then keep publishing on a schedule. See it in action: our own blog is run entirely on Rozzpost, and here's how auto-publishing to WordPress works.
Rozzpost has the lowest entry price here at $4.99/month, free to start with no card. SEOwriting is next at about $19/month ($14 billed yearly). Koala starts around $25, and Jasper, Byword and Arvow start at roughly $69–$99. Prices change, so check each site.
Most do — Byword, Koala, SEOwriting and Arvow all advertise direct WordPress publishing. Jasper is the exception (manual or via Zapier). Rozzpost publishes to WordPress and Shopify, and is the only one here that advertises publishing even behind Cloudflare, Sucuri and GoDaddy firewalls, via a pull-based plugin.
The lowest entry price in the group, and firewall-proof publishing. Standard WordPress connections can be blocked by security plugins and WAFs; Rozzpost's pull-based plugin publishes anyway, and can schedule a whole batch to go live on its own.
Not necessarily. Pricier tools often bundle backlinks, images or a full copy suite — worth it if you need them. If you just want SEO posts written and published to your site without manual work, a focused low-cost tool like Rozzpost covers that end-to-end.
Written, optimized, and live on your site — even behind a firewall. From $4.99/month.
