01

The price

$49/mo is the way in, $129/mo is the tier that works.

Starter covers 1 site, 1 user seat, 10 ai articles per month, 50 audit pages per month, ai visibility tracking.

The top tier is quoted by sales, so there is no published ceiling.

02

The complaint

AI-generated drafts often need manual rewriting, reviewers cite awkward phrasing and repetitive output

6 recurring complaints show up in public reviews, and 0 of them come up often.

Praise is just as consistent: excellent content brief generation, agencies report saving 180 hours/month on research.

03

The verdict

A tracker priced to be tried rather than committed to.

The most frequently raised complaint: ai-generated drafts often need manual rewriting, reviewers cite awkward phrasing and repetitive output.

It reports where you stand. Turning that into published pages and earned citations is still work somebody has to do.

The actual decision

We sell one of these two
Path A

Buy Frase

Right when small budget, in-house team. You get the measurement, and the work of turning it into published pages and earned citations stays with your team.

Path B

Hire someone to run it

Right when nobody to act on it. Disclosure: this is what we sell, which is a reason to read us critically. It is also why every figure here carries the date we checked it, and every judgement carries the quote it came from.
