Plans & Pricing

Use Cases

SEO

9.5

SERP Analyzer extracts competitor headings, common questions, topic gaps, and word counts from top 20 Google results in seconds; real-time content scoring measures semantic topic coverage against competitors while writing; Content Opportunities identifies ranking pages in positions 5–20 for targeted optimisation without requiring additional keyword research.

Content Creation

8.8

Automated content brief generation produces structured outlines in approximately 30 seconds from a single keyword input, replacing 60–90 minutes of manual competitor SERP analysis; the AI writer drafts sections within the same interface, though output quality requires human editing for tone, accuracy, and unique insights.

Marketing

8.8

GEO AI visibility tracking on all paid plans monitors brand and content presence in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews — providing data on which content earns AI citations alongside traditional Google ranking tracking for a dual-channel visibility view.

Research

9.0

SERP Analyzer surfaces questions from Google People Also Ask, Reddit, and Quora alongside competitor structural data, providing a comprehensive content research layer that would require separate visits to multiple platforms to replicate manually; all research integrates directly into the content editor for single-workflow operation.

Automation

8.0

Frase Agent's 80+ skills automate research-to-brief-to-draft workflows in a connected sequence; API and MCP access on all paid plans enable teams to integrate Frase content workflows with CMS and publishing pipelines; direct WordPress and CMS publishing reduces manual export steps.

Overview

Frase is an SEO content platform trusted by 50,000+ teams including Coursera, GitLab, Oracle, and Thomson Reuters. It combines SERP analysis of the top 20 Google results, automated content brief generation (~30 seconds per keyword), real-time SEO and GEO content scoring, Content Opportunities for identifying quick-win pages ranking positions 5–20, site audits, GEO AI visibility tracking across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity, and an AI Agent with 80+ skills. All paid plans include unlimited AI writing, full feature access, API and MCP access, and brand voice profiles. Plans differ by article volume, seats, and domains. Starting at ~$39/month (Starter) with a 7-day free trial. AI writer output is generic and documented as requiring human editing for final publication quality.

Key Features

  • SERP Analyzer extracting competitor headings, questions, and topic gaps from top 20 Google results in seconds
  • Automated content brief builder generating structured article outlines from SERP data in approximately 30 seconds
  • Real-time SEO and GEO content scoring measuring topic coverage against top-ranking competitors as you write
  • Content Opportunities identifying existing site pages ranking positions 5–20 for targeted optimisation workflow
  • Frase Agent with 80+ skills covering research, SEO, GEO optimisation, site audits, and direct publishing
  • GEO AI visibility tracking monitoring brand and content presence across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Automated content brief generation replaces 60–90 minutes of manual SERP analysis with a 30-second structured outline — reducing the research phase cost per article for teams publishing 10+ articles per month to justify the subscription vs per-article manual research time
  • Dual real-time SEO and GEO content scoring is visible simultaneously while writing — enabling writers to optimise for both Google keyword coverage and AI-generated answer visibility in a single editing session without switching between tools
  • Content Opportunities surfaces existing site pages ranking in positions 5–20 using Google Search Console data — identifying pages closest to Page 1 without requiring additional keyword research or separate rank tracker subscriptions
  • All paid plans include API and MCP access, unlimited AI writing, and full Frase Agent capabilities — meaning the platform's complete feature set is accessible from Starter without a separate add-on purchase, unlike the legacy Pro Add-on pricing structure

Cons

  • AI writer output requires consistent human editing — user reviews and independent testing confirm the AI drafts are SEO-informed starting points that need human voice, factual verification, and unique insights added before meeting publishable quality standards; Frase is a research and optimisation tool, not a direct-to-publish AI writer
  • Article volume limits per plan (approximately 10/month on Starter, 40/month on Professional) create per-article add-on costs of ~$3.50/document for teams publishing above their plan allocation — making high-volume content operations more expensive than the headline plan price suggests
  • Semantic content scoring is less reliable for highly niche topics with few top-ranking competitors; reviewers note that thin or irrelevant SERP results for niche keywords produce content briefs with lower quality signals, requiring more manual curation
  • GEO AI visibility tracking scope is limited at lower tiers — Starter includes approximately 2 AI platforms monitored while full coverage across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and others requires Professional or Scale plan

Who It's For

Best For

  • SEO content managers and content marketers publishing 8–40 articles per month who need automated SERP research, content briefs, and real-time SEO/GEO scoring in a single tool without maintaining separate research and AI writing subscriptions
  • Agencies on Professional or Scale managing multi-client content operations who need shareable brief links for client review, multi-domain tracking, expanded team seats, and GEO visibility reporting across AI platforms
  • Freelance SEO writers and solo content creators on Starter (~$39/month) who need SERP-informed content briefs and scoring without paying for Surfer SEO ($99+) plus a separate AI writing tool
  • Content teams with existing pages ranking positions 5–20 who want a systematic process for identifying and optimising near-ranking content for quick organic traffic gains using Google Search Console integration

Not Ideal For

  • Teams requiring publish-ready AI-generated article output without human editing — Frase's AI drafts are documented as requiring significant editing; tools like Jasper or Writesonic target polished long-form AI writing more directly
  • High-volume content operations publishing 100+ articles per month where per-article add-on charges ($3.50/document above plan limits) create escalating costs that make Scale plan pricing or alternatives with unlimited article generation more economical
  • Non-SEO content workflows including creative writing, marketing copywriting, sales email sequences, and internal documentation — Frase is purpose-built for Google-ranking content and has no applicable features for these use cases
  • Teams requiring deep backlink analysis, keyword difficulty scoring, rank tracking, and full technical SEO auditing — Frase's SEO toolset is optimised for content optimisation; Ahrefs and Semrush provide more comprehensive SEO data beyond content

Audience Scores

Real-time dual SEO and GEO scoring in the content editor keeps both Google and AI platform optimisation goals visible simultaneously while writing; Content Opportunities surfaces existing pages ranking 5–20 for quick-win optimisation campaigns without additional keyword research investment; Google Search Console integration pulls live site ranking data directly into the Frase interface.

Professional plan's shareable links allow clients to view and interact with content briefs without a Frase login — covering agency-to-client handoff workflows; multi-domain and expanded seat options on Scale cover multi-client content operations at $199–299/month; article volume add-ons at ~$3.50/document allow flexible scaling without plan upgrades.

Starter at ~$39/month bundles SERP research, content briefs, real-time content scoring, AI writer, GEO tracking, and site audits into a single tool that replaces separate subscriptions to SEO tools and standalone AI writers; 10-article/month allocation covers consistent solo creator output at a lower combined cost than Surfer SEO ($99+) plus a separate AI writing tool.

7-day full-feature trial (no credit card) covers genuine evaluation of Frase's brief generation and scoring workflow before committing; Starter at ~$39/month gives solo freelancers complete SEO research, brief, scoring, and GEO tracking without the per-seat cost escalation of team-tier tools; article volume limit of ~10/month may require add-on purchases for freelancers serving multiple clients simultaneously.

Consider These Instead

When Not To Choose Frase

Choose Surfer SEO when technical NLP data visualisation, deeper content scoring granularity, and tighter integration with Jasper for long-form AI writing in a single workflow are priorities — Surfer's content editor provides more detailed NLP term analysis than Frase, though at a higher starting price ($99+/month) and without Frase's automated brief generation speed. Choose Clearscope when enterprise teams need the simplest possible writer-facing content scoring experience with a shareable grading link and no complex interface — Clearscope is more accurate for grading and easier for non-technical writers, but provides no AI writing and is significantly more expensive. Choose Writesonic when GEO AI visibility tracking combined with keyword research from Ahrefs integration is the priority for smaller teams — Writesonic Professional at $199/month includes comparable GEO tracking with AI article writing, though at a higher price point than Frase Starter for content-only workflows.
