How to choose
- Drafts only. If you will edit and publish yourself, the writing assistants and article writers (14 here) are the group to compare, and several list a free plan or a low entry price.
- Already have writers. Optimizers and brief tools (11 here) are built to guide a person who writes, so check each page for what happens after the draft.
- No editor in the loop. The autopilot publishers (21 here, Balzac included) plan, write and publish on a schedule. Their approval steps differ, so open the comparison page for each.
- More than articles. Platforms and suites (19 here) add other work such as ads, emails, rank tracking or audits. Pay for them only if you will use those parts.
- Compare units, not headlines. Words, credits, messages, seats, sites and articles are not the same thing, and monthly and yearly billing differ.
Questions
Where do the prices come from?
Each price was read from that vendor's own website on the date shown in its row, which is the date its Balzac comparison page was last updated. Nothing in this table comes from a third-party review site. Vendors change plans often, so check the vendor's page before you buy.
Is Balzac a neutral source?
No. Balzac is our product and it is one row in this table. The table is in alphabetical order inside each group, with no ranking, and each comparison page says where the other tool is the better pick.
Why do some rows say the price is not stated?
Some entries do not have a price we could state plainly, for example when plans are sold through a demo or the pages we read did not list one. The row says so and links to its comparison page rather than guessing.
Can I compare the prices directly?
Not always. Tools price by articles, words, credits, messages, seats or sites, and many show monthly and yearly billing side by side. The price column keeps each tool's own wording and units, so read the whole cell before comparing.
What does Balzac cost?
Balzac has one plan, Columnist: $79 a month per website for about 30 articles, counting new pages and rewrites of pages that already rank. A second website is a second Columnist plan; write to [email protected] to set it up.
Which type of tool should I pick?
It depends on who does the work. If you want drafts that you edit and publish yourself, a writing assistant or article writer is a fit. If you want articles planned, written and published without an editor, compare the autopilot publishers. If you already have writers, an optimizer or brief tool helps them. See the how-to-choose list above.
