Does seodraft write the article for me?

Your agent writes it. seodraft never calls a model and never resells model usage: it holds the profile, the evidence bank, the measured topics and the brief, and your agent reads all of that over MCP and writes the prose inside the subscription you already pay for.

Can I keep Frase and use seodraft at the same time?

Yes, and the two share no account. People who value Frase's site audits and AI Visibility tracking can keep them while articles are planned, drafted and approved in seodraft, which reads its own results page from your DataForSEO account.

Does seodraft publish to WordPress?

No. Approved articles are written into a git repository as files with draft: true forced, with Keystatic arriving preconfigured and any other git-based CMS set up by hand, plus Markdown and HTML export. If your blog is WordPress, Frase publishes there and seodraft does not.

A Frase alternative where your agent writes and you approve.

This page is for someone who uses Frase, or is about to, and who already pays for Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor. Frase researches, drafts, scores and publishes inside its own platform, while seodraft gives the agent you already have the measured data, the rules and the calendar, then delivers the article you approved as a file in your repository. Below: who should switch and who should stay, what Frase does well, why people look elsewhere, a side-by-side checked on September 24, 2026, and the steps to move.

Who should switch and who should stay

When seodraft fits

Switch if the prose you want already comes out of an AI subscription you pay for every month.
Switch if you are one person and a plan built around seats, sites and a monthly article count costs more than it returns.
Switch if you want three first-hand facts of your own inside every article, checked before the draft is finished.
Switch if your blog is a git repository and you would rather receive a file than let a tool publish for you.

When Frase fits

Stay with Frase if you want a tool that watches live pages and rewrites the ones losing rank.
Stay if you need seats, several sites and exportable client reports for a team or an agency.
Stay if daily AI visibility tracking across ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini is the number you report on.

What Frase does well

Frase reads the results page for a keyword and turns the headings, questions and word counts of the pages ranking today into a brief in minutes, and that brief builder is the part reviewers have praised for years.
The 2026 product is much wider than briefs: site audits with ranked fixes, an SEO score and a GEO score with an E-E-A-T breakdown inside the editor, AI Visibility tracking across ChatGPT, Google AI, Perplexity, Claude and Gemini depending on the plan, and Content Guard, which drafts a revision when a published page starts losing rank.
It publishes in one click to WordPress, Webflow, Sanity and Wix or hosts the page on FraseCMS, and on every plan you can let its agent publish a content type on its own once you switch that on.
Frase also runs its own MCP server and CLI, so Claude, ChatGPT, Codex or Cursor can drive the platform from the editor you already work in.

Why people look for a Frase alternative

These are the complaints that repeat on public review pages and in dated hands-on tests.

The month is metered. Starter gives you 10 articles and 50 audit pages for $39 billed yearly or $49 month to month, and two things people came for, the content calendar and internal linking suggestions, start on Professional at $103 yearly or $129 monthly. Frase · Plans and pricing
The draft still needs a verification pass. A hands-on test published in August 2026 ran five generations on the trial and reported no deep internal links to the tester's own articles, one statistic attributed to a named company with no link at all, and a GEO panel scoring Citable Data at 70% on a draft that contained no statistics.

Editing time is the hidden cost. A review published by a competing product puts 30 to 60 minutes of editing on each AI draft before it is publishable, while calling the brief builder the best in its category. theStacc · Frase review (published by a competitor)
Pricing moved under existing customers. One review reports users charged €95 where they had paid €68 the cycle before, migrated to the new plans with a single notice email and no grandfathering, and annual plans that can be cancelled without a refund for the remaining months.

The ratings disagree with each other. A January 2026 roundup lists 4.8/5 on G2 across 297 reviews and 4.8/5 on Capterra across 334, against 1.4/5 on Trustpilot across 49, where the complaints are billing and support rather than the research tools.

Who writes the article	Your own agent: Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor, connected over MCP. seodraft never calls a model.	Frase drafts it with its own AI engines, and its MCP server and CLI let your agent drive that from your editor.
What you pay for the AI	The subscription you already have. seodraft does not resell model usage and does not count your articles.	Included up to the monthly article count, 10 on Starter and 40 on Professional; past it, optional pay-as-you-go at $5 per extra article on Professional.
Where the search data comes from	Your own DataForSEO account: about USD 0.004 per results page, with the estimate shown before the call and the real cost recorded after it.	Frase's own research and crawls, metered as audit pages and AI prompts per plan, plus your Google Search Console connection.
Quality control before publishing	Deterministic rules on lengths, headings, frontmatter, keyword placement, evidence and filler. Cannibalization is a hard stop and a human approves every article.	SEO, GEO and E-E-A-T scores in the editor plus content rules you can set. In an August 2026 test the Citable Data metric read 70% on a draft with no statistics.

What seodraft gives you instead

seodraft covers the same ground with a different split between the agent, the data and the rules.

Your agent does the writing: Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor connects once to the seodraft MCP server with OAuth and gets 38 tools for the profile, the topics, the drafts, the rules and delivery.
A brief taken from today's results page: Questions to cover, cited domains, ranking titles and whether an AI Overview showed, handed to your agent before it writes, and then the rules check the article against the plan it wrote from that brief.
Search data bought with your own account: One results page costs about USD 0.004 from your DataForSEO balance, the estimate is on screen before the call, and two ceilings refuse an over-budget call.
Three first-hand facts in every article: A measured number, a named case, a mistake you made: the evidence bank holds them, and an article leaning on evidence you never accepted fails the rules.
Rules that decide, then your approval: Lengths, headings, frontmatter, keyword placement, filler and contrastive negation are checked by code, so a draft that passed yesterday cannot fail today.
Delivery instead of publishing: An approved article is written into your git repository as a file with draft: true forced over whatever the article said, and you publish it from your CMS.

How to switch

Moving takes four steps, and none of them touches what Frase already published for you.

1
Take your articles out of Frase. Frase says your content stays yours and exports whenever you want it, and pages already live in WordPress, Webflow, Sanity or Wix stay where they are.
2
Create the workspace. Signup gives you 7 days without a card, and nothing is charged until you subscribe at $5 a month or $50 a year.
3
Connect your agent with one prompt. Copy the prompt from the home page into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor. It connects over OAuth and runs onboarding in the chat: your profile, your voice, your first topics.
4
Import your sitemap. seodraft reads the pages you already published, so the topic bank withholds a question one of them answers and cannibalization stays a hard stop.

Questions before you move

Short answers on who writes, on keeping both tools, and on publishing.

Does seodraft write the article for me?: Your agent writes it. seodraft never calls a model and never resells model usage: it holds the profile, the evidence bank, the measured topics and the brief, and your agent reads all of that over MCP and writes the prose inside the subscription you already pay for.
Can I keep Frase and use seodraft at the same time?: Yes, and the two share no account. People who value Frase's site audits and AI Visibility tracking can keep them while articles are planned, drafted and approved in seodraft, which reads its own results page from your DataForSEO account.
Does seodraft publish to WordPress?: No. Approved articles are written into a git repository as files with draft: true forced, with Keystatic arriving preconfigured and any other git-based CMS set up by hand, plus Markdown and HTML export. If your blog is WordPress, Frase publishes there and seodraft does not.
