Does seodraft write the articles?

No. Your own agent writes over MCP, using the model subscription you already pay for, and seodraft never calls a model or resells generation. What it adds around the writing is the profile and voice, the evidence bank, measured topics, the SERP brief, the rules that decide when a draft is ready, and delivery into your repository.

Do I have to stop using Copy.ai?

No, and most people should keep it if they use the rest of the platform. Copy.ai runs outbound email, ABM assets, translation and sales enablement for a team; seodraft only does blog posts for one person's site. The overlap is the content creation use case, so moving the blog leaves everything else where it is.

What happens to my articles if I stop paying for seodraft?

You keep them. Every article exports as Markdown with frontmatter or as HTML, and the approved ones were already delivered as files into your own git repository, so the blog keeps working with the workspace closed.

A Copy.ai alternative for SEO and GEO blog posts

This page is for someone who opened Copy.ai to write blog posts and found a platform built for sales and marketing teams. The difference that matters is where the words come from: seodraft never calls a model, so the Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor subscription you already pay for does the writing, while seodraft adds measured search data, deterministic rules, a calendar and delivery into your repository. What follows is who should switch and who should stay, what Copy.ai does well, why people look elsewhere with a source on each point, a dated side by side, and the steps to move.

Who should switch and who should stay

When seodraft fits

Switch if the only thing you want from Copy.ai is blog posts for your own site.
Switch if you already pay for Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor and would rather that subscription do the writing.
Switch if you want a measured search volume behind every topic and a rule that refuses a weak draft.
Switch if you want each approved article delivered into your own git repository as a file you keep.

When Copy.ai fits

Stay with Copy.ai if the blog is one of a dozen content jobs your team runs, next to outbound email, ABM assets and translation.
Stay if you need seats, shared team spaces and workflows that pull rows from Salesforce and the rest of its integrations.
Stay if training reusable content agents on your own examples matters more to you than search data.

What Copy.ai does well

Copy.ai covers far more ground than articles: its own use-case pages list prospecting, inbound lead processing, account based marketing, translation and deal coaching, all in one workspace.
It stays model agnostic, and the homepage names OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini and Perplexity as the engines behind the platform.
Content Agent Studio is a sound way to hold a voice, because you load at least three real human-written examples and the agent takes its tone, style and length from them.
Workflows chain steps, tables and integrations, so one call transcript can come out as a recap email, a LinkedIn post and a support doc in a single run.

Why people look for an alternative

Every reason below sits on a public Copy.ai page or in its knowledge base, read on 24 September 2026.

Copy.ai sells to go-to-market teams now. The homepage calls it the first AI-native GTM platform, the use cases are prospecting, lead processing and deal coaching, and the main button on every one of them asks for a demo. copy.ai homepage
The self-serve plan is chat. Workflows, the part that runs a content pipeline, begin on Growth at $1,000 a month billed $12,000 a year with 20,000 workflow credits, and the two plans above it are $2,000 and $3,000 a month. copy.ai pricing
The free plan is gone. Copy.ai's knowledge base says it was sunset and that a new user has to purchase the Chat or Agents plan, and that cancelling later leaves your projects and folders in place without access until you subscribe again. Copy.ai knowledge base, additional pricing questions
The monthly cost is hard to predict. The knowledge base says a workflow run costs more credits the more steps and content it generates, that the allowance resets every month and that nothing rolls over. Copy.ai knowledge base, workflow credits
Copy.ai belongs to Fullcast. The acquisition was announced on 15 October 2025 and the product is being rebranded Fullcast Propel inside a revenue operations suite alongside Ebsta, Atrium and Commissionly, so the roadmap now answers to RevOps buyers. Fullcast announces the acquisition of Copy.ai

Side by side

	seodraft	Copy.ai
Price	$5 a month or $50 a year. One plan, one workspace.	Chat is $29 a month for 5 seats. Growth, the cheapest plan that includes workflow credits, is $1,000 a month billed $12,000 a year. The knowledge base also documents an Agents plan at $249 a month that the pricing page does not show, so the entry price depends on which page you read. Checked 24 September 2026.
Who writes	Your own agent, over MCP with OAuth. seodraft never calls a model.	Copy.ai runs the generation inside its platform, on OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini models.
What you pay for the AI	Nothing on top of the model subscription you already have.	Generation is included in the plan. Workflow runs spend credits that vary with the complexity of the run, reset monthly and never roll over.
Keyword and SERP data	Measured Google volume, AI search volume and intent, plus a live SERP brief, bought from your own DataForSEO account at about USD 0.004 per SERP with the estimate shown before you spend.	None of its own. Asked how to optimise an article for SEO, the knowledge base answers that the AI is relatively SEO-centered and you may have to add keywords yourself.
Quality control before publishing	Deterministic rules decide when a draft is ready, and a topic that repeats one you already covered is a hard stop.	Examples, brand voice and advanced instructions steer the output and a person reviews it. No documented pass or fail check.
Publishing	Nothing publishes itself. You approve every article by hand before it leaves the workspace.	No auto-publish either: the Content Agent Studio guide says a human always reviews and publishes the output.
Where the files live	Export as Markdown or HTML, and approved articles are delivered as files with draft: true into your own git repository.	Outputs live in the Copy.ai workspace. Cancel and your projects and folders remain, closed to you until you subscribe again.
Teams and seats	One workspace per account. No teams and no seats.	Seats are the unit: 5 on Chat, 75 on Growth, 150 on Expansion, with the credit allowance shared across the workspace.
Trial	7 days free, no card, and nothing is charged until you subscribe.	No free plan. The knowledge base says it was sunset and that you buy Chat or Agents to start.

What seodraft gives you in its place

Each of these is a page you can read in full before you create an account.

Your agent writes, over MCP: Connect Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor once with OAuth and it works the same rows the web app shows, through 38 tools.
Topics with numbers on them: Google volume, AI search volume and intent come from your own DataForSEO account, and every paid call states its estimate before you spend.
A brief before the body: A live SERP read tells the agent which questions to cover, which domains get cited and whether an AI Overview is showing.
Rules that decide when a draft is done: The same deterministic linter the gate runs will fail a draft for filler, a buried answer or a generic closing.
A calendar instead of a pile: Measured topics get planned onto days, and the queue shows what is scheduled, being written and ready for you.
Files in your repository: Approving an article delivers it as a file with draft: true into your git repo, and you publish it from your own CMS.

How to move

Moving takes an afternoon, and most of it is your agent reading the site you already have.

1
Take your drafts out of Copy.ai first Cancelling leaves projects and folders in the workspace but closes them to you, so copy out the text you still want while the subscription is live.
2
Create a seodraft workspace Seven days free, no card asked for, and nothing charged until you decide to subscribe.
3
Connect your agent with one prompt Paste the prompt from the home page into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor; it authorises over OAuth and then interviews you to fill the profile and the evidence bank.
4
Import your sitemap Your agent reads the URLs you already published so the topic bank withholds questions one of your pages answers.
