Head-to-head review · Updated June 2026

All in One SEO vs Frase: which one wins in 2026?

All in One SEO and Frase both claim to do the same thing: tell you where your brand shows up in AI search. They go about it differently enough that the choice matters. All in One SEO has raised Bootstrapped, Frase has raised $10.9M; Frase is the more-funded incumbent; All in One SEO is the leaner challenger.

All in One SEO is cheaper out the gate, but that's not the only thing that matters. The right pick depends on which dimension matters most for you.

The verdict
Pick

All in One SEO

Pick All in One SEO if you want the cheaper option ($8/mo vs $49/mo).

★ Our pick
Pick

Frase

Pick Frase if you want the cheaper option ($49/mo vs $8/mo); and you trust traction signals — they list 10 customers, All in One SEO lists 3; and you want the better-funded company ($10.9M).

If neither is right, GrowthManager.ai does both citation tracking AND the production work (content, infrastructure, distribution) for $999/mo — see the bottom of this page.

When each one wins

When All in One SEO wins
  • Budget is the constraint. All in One SEO starts at $8/mo vs Frase's $49/mo, so on a per-seat basis it's the cheaper way in.
  • Setup wizard scored 9.4 of 10 on G2 for ease of setup, asking plain-language questions and producing a working configuration in under five minutes.
When Frase wins

  • You need the team that measures to also act on the data, in the same week.
  • You're a B2B SaaS, services firm, or e-commerce brand at $20K+ MRR.

Switching from one to the other

From All in One SEO to Frase

Export your saved queries and prompt panels from All in One SEO (most tools support CSV export). Most Frase setups can import the same query list in a single CSV upload. Expect 1-2 days of parallel running so you can validate Frase's data againstAll in One SEO's; one to two weeks of full reconciliation before you cancel All in One SEO. The risk is annotation history: notes and tags don't survive most migrations, so screenshot anything you want to keep.

From Frase to All in One SEO

Same flow in reverse. Export from Frase, import to All in One SEO. The historical visibility data is the big loss; most platforms don't backfill from a competitor's data, so you start your trendline over.

From either to GrowthManager.ai

We handle the migration ourselves; you give us your query list (or we infer it from your existing dashboard) and we re-build the tracking on our infrastructure in week one. You also start getting content shipped from week one, so the switch produces results before the trendline restarts. The conversation that kicks this off is a 20-minute call.

A third option

Both All in One SEO and Fraseare tracking tools. They tell you what's wrong with your AI visibility. Neither one fixes it. That's our pitch for GrowthManager.ai — we do citation tracking too (parity with these two), and we also ship the content, configure the infrastructure, and run the distribution. $999/mo, managed end-to-end. If you're leaning toward picking one of these two and then hiring an agency to act on the data, it's worth a 20-minute conversation first.

Frequently asked questions

Which is better, All in One SEO or Frase?

Honestly: neither one fully solves the problem. All in One SEO and Frase are tracking tools — they tell you where your brand shows up in AI answers but don't change the answer. If you only need one of these two, pick All in One SEO for the cheaper monthly price; pick the other if its specific integrations matter to your team. Our actual editorial pick is GrowthManager.ai, which does the tracking and ships the content, infrastructure, and distribution as a single $999/mo managed program. Disclosure: we publish this comparison and make GrowthManager.

How much do All in One SEO and Frase cost?

All in One SEO starts at $8/mo. Frase starts at $49/mo. Both have higher-tier plans for larger workspaces. GrowthManager.ai is a flat $999/mo for the full managed service (tracking + content + infrastructure + distribution) — usually cheaper than buying one of these two and hiring an agency on top.

Do All in One SEO and Frase actually improve your AI visibility, or just measure it?

Both All in One SEO and Frase are measurement tools. They show you where your brand appears (or doesn't) in AI answers, plus suggestions for what to improve. Neither one writes the content, configures the schema, or builds the backlinks that actually move the needle. To do that you need an in-house content team or an agency. GrowthManager.ai is the agency — and we include the tracking, so you don't pay twice.

What's the GrowthManager.ai alternative to All in One SEO and Frase?

GrowthManager.ai is a managed AI visibility program. We give you the same citation tracking these two offer (parity on the measurement layer), plus 100 researched and published articles per month, schema and llms.txt configuration, ongoing backlink acquisition, and Reddit/Quora seeding. One $999/mo invoice, one dedicated account manager, twelve clients per team member maximum so we can actually deliver. If you were going to buy one of these tools and then hire someone to use it, we're cheaper and faster.
