Base costs $60 a month and lists 10,000 articles a month, 5 SEO content boosts, weekly topic ideas, a brief generator and writing in your brand voice.

The agent researches keywords, recommends what to write and works in the dashboard or Slack. Articles publish to WordPress, Webflow, Framer, Shopify, Wix and more, and automations can refresh older posts in the background. Every plan tracks ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Gemini and Perplexity. It suits a team that likes giving an agent instructions. Tracking and refreshes draw from the same credits as articles.
