- You do not have a blog to publish into, or you do not want to run one. Blogged builds, themes, hosts and maintains the blog site and serves it from blog.yourcompany.com or under your existing path through a reverse proxy. Blogauto.ai needs a WordPress site to exist first.
- You need a documented reason a post did not go out. Approved Content Directions, a governed review queue and publication holds decide whether full Autopilot is allowed to publish, and a person can publish by hand at any time.
- The articles have to be right about your own product. The Knowledge Engine holds source bound product, competitor and keyword facts with official sources, freshness monitoring and conflict resolution, and excludes stale or conflicting entries from normal reuse.
- You want to know what the blog earns rather than only that it published. Insights reports Search Console clicks, impressions, CTR and position alongside CTA views, click through, lead conversion and subscriber outcomes on the site Blogged owns.
- You want your real product in the article. Blogged discovers images and rendered page captures from your site, holds them for approval, places the approved visual exactly, and composites your approved logo after generation rather than letting a model draw it.

What is the difference between Blogged and Blogauto.ai?
Blogged is an autonomous blog platform for SaaS founders. It plans, writes, optimizes, schedules, and publishes to a blog site it hosts on your subdomain, then reports on search and conversion. Blogauto.ai is an autoblogging service that generates SEO articles and publishes them straight into a WordPress site you already run, priced by credit from $29 a month. The sharpest difference is who owns the destination. Blogged starts at $99 per month per Project.
Written by the Blogged team. Blogauto.ai details were checked against public pages on August 2026 at blogauto.ai. Products change, so verify anything that decides your purchase.
These two tools are bought for different jobs.
Pick by the job you actually need done this quarter, not by the longer feature list.
- Your blog already lives in WordPress and it is not moving. Blogauto.ai publishes into it over the REST API with no plugin, and Blogged does not push into WordPress at all.
- Cost per article is the number you are optimizing. Starter is $29 a month and the pricing page puts it at 100 articles without images, against Blogged's 30 posts at $99.
- You want to see output before paying anything. Blogauto.ai's free tier takes no card and is listed at $0 forever, though its Terms of Service say credits expire after twelve months of account inactivity, and you can publish the free articles to your live site to judge them.
- You run many sites. Agency at $159 covers unlimited connected sites from one dashboard, with a free thirty minute onboarding call for accounts above five client sites. Blogged prices per Project and caps a workspace at twenty.
- Your output varies month to month. Credits roll over while you stay subscribed and top ups are sold separately, so an unused month is not a lost allowance.
Blogged vs Blogauto.ai, capability by capability.
Every row states what each product publishes about itself. A blank claim is recorded as not published rather than assumed absent.
Strategy and research
| Capability | Blogged | Blogauto.ai |
|---|---|---|
| Automated keyword research and a supply of topics | Yes Autopilot keeps a bounded supply of Topics under approved Content Directions and refills it as posts are used. Plans allow 40, 80 or 120 Topics a month. | Yes The content planner researches your site's niche against live search data and generates a topic list, then assigns each topic one primary and four secondary keywords. The Terms of Service name SerpApi among the third party services the platform integrates with. |
| Bringing your own topic list in bulk | Partial A post can start from an approved Topic, a custom brief, or a Markdown import that either preserves the body exactly or is used as a brief for a rewrite. There is no bulk spreadsheet upload of a topic queue. | Yes The content planner takes a CSV or Excel upload with a Topic column required, and optional Primary Keyword and Secondary Keywords columns that the AI fills where you leave them blank. Uploaded topics join the publish queue. |
| A maintained fact base the writing is bound to | Yes The Knowledge Engine holds source bound product facts, competitor facts and keyword knowledge with official sources, verified facts, freshness monitoring, conflict resolution and controlled refresh. Stale, rejected, superseded or conflicting entries are not eligible for normal reuse. | Not published Articles are written to your site's niche and tone from site context, and brand voice is described as learned from existing content. No public page describes a stored, verified fact base that later generation is checked against. |
| Recurring competitor monitoring that feeds topics | Yes Competitor Watch runs weekly over approved competitors' feeds, sitemaps and bounded public pages. Signals carry source evidence and never become Topics without human review. 7, 15 or 25 tracked competitors by plan. | No No public page describes competitor monitoring in the shipped product, and the About page lists competitor content gap analysis inside the topic planner as something the team is still building. |
| An approved strategy that limits what may be written | Yes Content Directions are approved rules that bound what Autopilot may write, and full Autopilot publishes only inside them. Changing the strategy is an approval step, not a setting. | Partial You review, edit, delete or add topics before saving the content plan, and set word count, cadence, image count and start date. The saved plan is a queue of topics rather than a rule set each draft is checked against. |
Writing and imagery
| Capability | Blogged | Blogauto.ai |
|---|---|---|
| A readiness score before a post can go out | Yes The editor scores readiness, lists blockers, breaks the score down by SEO pillar, orders the priority fixes, and carries a separate GEO checklist. | Partial Articles are written to a stated structure with H1, H2 and H3 headings, a meta title and meta description, and RankMath or Yoast fields set automatically. No per article score is published. |
| Internal linking across your own posts | Yes A drafting run inserts internal links itself, and published posts take up to ten added links each time a post publishes. Blogged links only to destinations it has verified are live, and the blog site generates related reading between posts. | Yes The pricing page includes internal link automation in the credit price. The WordPress landing page is more specific and says Blogauto.ai crawls your site and adds two to four internal links per article. |
| Sources and citations attached to the article | Yes The editor carries a sources and citations panel, and generation draws on the official sources recorded against verified facts in the Knowledge Engine. | Not published No public Blogauto.ai page mentions citations, sources or references in generated articles. The Terms of Service state that generated content may contain unverified claims and put fact checking on the customer. |
| Images that show your real product | Yes Blogged discovers site images and rendered page captures, holds them in a review queue until a member approves them, and places the approved visual exactly. 150 to 450 images a month by plan. | No Images are AI generated, described on the About page as scene specific visuals via Google Gemini rather than stock photos, and on the pricing page as a multi-model image generation pipeline. No public page describes capturing imagery from your existing site. Per article caps run to three, five or ten images by plan. |
| Exact control of your logo in generated imagery | Yes The approved logo is composited after generation rather than redrawn by the model, so the mark in the image is the mark you approved. | Not published The Business tier accepts a brand logo, brand colors and director photos, and Growth adds reference photos. No public page states whether an uploaded logo is composited after generation or fed to the model as a reference. |
Publishing and hosting
| Capability | Blogged | Blogauto.ai |
|---|---|---|
| Where a finished post actually ends up | Yes On a blog site Blogged builds and hosts: a Blogged subdomain to start, blog.yourcompany.com when you connect a domain, or your existing path such as yourcompany.com/blog through a reverse proxy. | Yes In a CMS you already run, with title, slug, categories, tags, featured image, meta description and excerpt set. Shopify, Ghost, Webflow and Zapier are claimed on several pages and named in the privacy policy as stored credentials, though only WordPress carries setup documentation. |
| Pushes posts into WordPress | No Blogged does not push into an existing CMS. It is the destination rather than a plugin, and that is the main reason to rule it out. | Yes The native WordPress REST API with an Application Password generated under Users and Profile. No plugin is installed, the credential is scoped to creating posts, and you can revoke it from WordPress at any time. |
| A designed blog site you do not have to build | Yes Maintained themes, brand identity, typography, homepage content, featured stories, navigation, on site reader search, related reading and consent controls all ship with the site. | No Blogauto.ai writes into whatever WordPress theme you already run and states that WordPress remains your home base. The design, layout and hosting stay your responsibility. |
| Scheduling and cadence you control | Yes Autopilot holds the publishing schedule and cadence, and the command center shows current status, scheduled publications and an activity and recovery trace. | Yes You set frequency and start date in the content plan and choose a fixed schedule or a randomized spread. A Publish Now control generates and publishes one article immediately, ahead of the schedule, and deducts credits for it. |
| Editing and refreshing a post that is already live | Partial A published post stays editable by hand with no cap, and AI regeneration of a post is metered at 1 to 3 per post by plan. Revision history keeps snapshots with selective restore. Blogged does not refresh published posts automatically. | Partial The post is yours in WordPress the moment it lands, so editing is unmetered and uses your own editor. The user guide points you there for changes. No public page describes Blogauto.ai revisiting or rewriting a post it already published. |
Governance and measurement
| Capability | Blogged | Blogauto.ai |
|---|---|---|
| Approving a draft before it goes live | Yes Assisted Autopilot schedules drafts for human review, and a person can publish by hand at any time. Full Autopilot is the mode that publishes without waiting, and only after checks pass. | Not published Blogauto.ai's pages disagree. The homepage, the WordPress landing page, the industry pages and the About page describe a review or approval step. The user guide FAQ says the workflow publishes on schedule automatically and that a pre publish review mode is on the roadmap. |
| A governance check that can block a publication | Yes Full Autopilot publishes only after approved Content Directions and governance checks pass. A publication hold blocks publication outright, and the review queue is governed rather than advisory. | Partial Publishing halts automatically when the credit balance reaches zero, with the plan and topic queue preserved, and the homepage says a scheduled post can be paused before it goes live. No public page describes a check that reads a draft and stops it. |
| Google Search Console reporting inside the product | Yes Insights reports clicks, impressions, CTR, average position, top queries and top pages from a connected property, plus indexing coverage, on Google's finalized windows. | Not published No public Blogauto.ai page describes a Search Console connection, and the dashboard is documented as a list of published articles with their live URLs, publish dates and status. The privacy policy does say the platform holds SEO performance metrics for content it publishes, without describing where they are surfaced. |
| Conversion measurement on the published blog | Yes A CTA view counts only when at least 25 percent of the surface enters the viewport, so the denominator is stated. Insights adds click through, CTA breakdowns, lead conversion, subscriber outcomes and acquisition attribution. | No Blogauto.ai does not own the destination site, so measuring what an article converts stays with whatever analytics your WordPress install already runs. |
| Newsletter signup and lead capture on the blog itself | Yes Newsletter signup and product CTAs are part of the blog site on every plan, with lead capture webhooks and subscriber outcome reporting behind them. | No Articles land in a site Blogauto.ai does not own, so signup forms, CTAs and the rest of the page belong to your WordPress theme and whatever plugins you run. |
Four decisions that separate the two.
Blogauto.ai fills a WordPress site. Blogged is the site.
Blogauto.ai assumes you already have WordPress, and its entire first run is a connection to it: a URL, a username, and an Application Password generated under Users and Profile. Blogged assumes the opposite. It builds, themes, hosts and maintains the blog, and you point a subdomain at it or serve it under an existing path through a reverse proxy. Blogauto.ai states the choice itself on its About page, saying it built CMS integrations rather than trying to be a destination blogging tool. That one decision explains most of this page, including why Blogged can measure what a post converts and why Blogauto.ai cannot.
- A hosted blog site with maintained themes, navigation, on site reader search and related reading.
- Start on a Blogged subdomain, move to blog.yourcompany.com when the domain is ready.
- A reverse proxy option serves the blog under an existing path such as yourcompany.com/blog.
- No CMS to run, no theme to update, no WordPress security plugin to keep out of the way.
- Publishes into the WordPress you already run, with your theme and URLs untouched and generated images uploaded into your own media library.
- No plugin is installed. The connection is the native REST API and a scoped Application Password.
- You can revoke access from your WordPress profile at any time without affecting your main login.
- Everything published is immediately yours to edit in the editor your team already knows.
Scheduled and unattended, or governed and able to stop
Blogauto.ai's default is generate and publish: the plan runs, the article is written, the images are made, and it appears on your site, with an email telling you the URL. What happens before that is where its own pages disagree. The homepage, the WordPress landing page, the industry pages and the About page all describe review or approval before publishing, while the user guide FAQ says the workflow publishes on schedule automatically and that a pre publish review mode is on the roadmap. Blogged's answer is not a toggle at all: assisted Autopilot schedules drafts for review, full Autopilot may publish but only after approved Content Directions and governance checks pass, and a publication hold blocks a post whatever the schedule says. Blogauto.ai's Terms of Service, meanwhile, place responsibility for reviewing and fact checking every article on the customer.
- Content Directions are the approved strategy full Autopilot is allowed to write inside.
- Assisted mode schedules drafts that wait for a person, and anyone can publish by hand at any time.
- Publication holds block publication, and the review queue is governed rather than advisory.
- Competitor Watch signals never become Topics without human review.
- Unattended publishing is the point, and for a high volume program that is a feature rather than a gap.
- The homepage states that a scheduled post can be paused before it goes live.
- Publish Now forces one article out immediately when you want to move faster than the schedule.
- Publishing stops on its own at a zero credit balance, with the plan and topic queue preserved.
A keyword from live search data, or a fact base you maintain
Blogauto.ai grounds the plan rather than the prose: it researches your niche against live search data, names SerpApi among the services behind that, gives each topic one primary and four secondary keywords, and writes to your site's niche and tone. That is a good way to pick what to write about. Blogged adds a second layer underneath: the Knowledge Engine holds source bound product, competitor and keyword facts, each with an official source, and applies freshness monitoring, conflict resolution and controlled refresh so stale, rejected, superseded or conflicting entries drop out of normal reuse. Blogged also publishes the boundary plainly, that grounding constrains what a model may reuse and does not certify that every generated claim is correct. If your product changes often and the articles have to keep up with it, that difference is the whole argument.
- Source bound product, competitor and keyword facts, each with the official source recorded.
- Freshness monitoring, conflict resolution and controlled refresh, with stale entries excluded from reuse.
- A sources and citations panel in the editor, alongside the SEO and GEO checks.
- A published boundary: grounding constrains reuse, it does not certify correctness.
- Topic research runs against live search data, so the plan tracks what people are actually searching.
- Each topic carries one primary and four secondary keywords assigned automatically.
- Brand voice is learned from your existing content, and the Business tier takes a brand guidelines PDF.
- You can skip the research entirely and upload your own topic list as CSV or Excel.
Articles by the credit, or a governed blog by the month
The gap here is real and this page is not going to talk around it. Blogauto.ai Starter is $29 a month, and its own pricing page works that out at 100 articles without images or 29 with them, because an article costs 10 to 15 credits by word count and images are charged on top. Blogged Starter is $99 for 30 posts, so on articles per dollar there is no contest. What the extra buys is a different unit: a hosted site, governance that can refuse, a maintained fact base, approved imagery, and reporting that follows a reader from a CTA view to a lead. Worth noting before you compare the credit tables, the vendor's homepage and pricing page state different monthly allowances for every tier they share, so confirm the number in the checkout rather than on a marketing page.
- 30, 60 and 90 posts a month at $99, $169 and $229, with every feature flag on at every tier.
- Unlimited team seats on every paid plan, and a multi Project discount by position up to twenty percent.
- Annual billing is ten months, so two months are free on any tier.
- The blog site, the CTAs on it, and the conversion reporting behind them are part of the same price.
- Starter is $29 a month and Agency is $159 for unlimited connected sites.
- Credits roll over while you stay subscribed, and top ups are sold outside the plan.
- Skipping AI images more than triples the article count on the pricing page's own figures, 100 against 29 on Starter, and the page recommends starting that way.
- A free tier with no card lets you publish real articles to your own site before deciding anything.
What Blogauto.ai does well.
This page is published by Blogged, so treat it as a vendor comparison. These are the points where Blogauto.ai is the stronger answer, stated plainly.
Read their own material at blogauto.ai- It costs less per article by a wide margin. Starter is $29 a month against Blogged's $99, and Blogauto.ai's own pricing page works the entry tier out at 100 articles a month without images or 29 with them, against 30 posts on Blogged Starter. For a buyer counting published articles per dollar, this is not close.
- You can try it for nothing, with no card and no clock. The free tier is listed at $0 forever and the articles it generates publish to your live site, so you can judge real output on your own domain before paying. Blogged takes a card at checkout and gives you 3 days.
- It publishes into WordPress, which Blogged does not do at all. The connection is the native REST API with an Application Password, and Blogauto.ai states that zero plugins are required and no third party code runs on your site, though the same page says the SEO fields are set via WPCode. The credential is scoped and revocable from your WordPress profile, and your theme, URLs and analytics stay exactly where they are.
- It is priced for agencies and multi site owners. Agency at $159 a month covers unlimited connected sites from one dashboard with per site content plans, and accounts running more than five client sites are offered a free thirty minute onboarding call. Blogged prices per Project with a banded discount and a ceiling of twenty Projects in a workspace.
- Metering is credits rather than a fixed monthly post allowance, and unused credits roll over while you stay subscribed, with top ups sold separately. A quiet month carries forward instead of expiring, and you can trade image generation against article count deliberately, which the pricing page recommends doing.
- Every plan carries two tools Blogged does not offer: an AI Humaniser that rewrites pasted AI text, and a manual SEO writer for one off articles outside the schedule. Both draw on the same credit balance as the articles, at roughly five credits a Humaniser run. Bulk topic upload by CSV or Excel is included as well, with optional primary and secondary keyword columns, and the AI generates the primary keyword where you leave it blank.
What switching from Blogauto.ai involves.
Blogged starts from your website, a product description, or product documents. No existing blog is required, and published work you already own can come with you.
Blogged starts at $99 per month per Project with 30 published posts a month, and every plan opens with a three day free trial.
See full pricing- 01
Point Blogged at the product, not at WordPress
There is no Application Password to generate, because Blogged is the destination rather than a client of your CMS. Onboarding starts from a website URL, a product description or product documents, and builds the Knowledge Engine entries later generation is grounded in. Spend the setup time there instead of on the connection.
- 02
Bring the articles Blogauto.ai already published
Export the posts from WordPress and import them as Markdown. Blogged can preserve the body exactly, or use a supported general article as a brief for an AI rewrite. Unsupported high risk types are rejected before they consume post quota, so a bad import does not cost you a post.
- 03
Decide the destination and plan the redirects
Choose a hosted Blogged subdomain to start, blog.yourcompany.com once DNS is ready, or a reverse proxy under yourcompany.com/blog. If Blogauto.ai was publishing into yourcompany.com/blog inside WordPress, map redirects from the old URLs before you move traffic, and point Search Console at the property that will own the pages.
- 04
Approve Content Directions, then hand over the schedule
Start in assisted mode so scheduled drafts wait for review, which is a change of habit if you were used to articles appearing unannounced. When the Content Directions read the way you want, switch on full Autopilot, connect Search Console, and keep publication holds for weeks when nothing should go out.
Blogged and Blogauto.ai, answered.
Short answers to the questions buyers ask before they trial either product.
Is Blogauto.ai better than Blogged?
For a WordPress owner who wants the most articles per dollar landing in a site they already run, yes. Blogauto.ai is cheaper, publishes into WordPress, and has a free tier with no card. If you have no blog yet, or you want the site, the governance and the conversion reporting handled in one place, Blogged fits better. Blogged cannot publish into WordPress at all.
What is the best Blogauto.ai alternative?
It depends which half you are replacing. For cheap credit metered articles pushed into a CMS, auto-post.io covers similar ground at a similar price, and SEObot does it with a wider set of destinations. For replacing the blog itself rather than feeding an existing one, Blogged hosts the site, governs what publishes, and reports on conversion. Outrank sits between the two at a higher price.
How much does Blogauto.ai cost compared with Blogged?
Blogauto.ai Starter is $29 a month or $290 a year, with Growth at $69, Business at $99 and Agency at $159. Pricing is by credit: an article costs 10 to 15 credits by word count and images cost more, so the pricing page puts Starter at 100 articles a month without images. Blogged Starter is $99 a month or $990 a year for 30 posts and 40 Topics, with unlimited team seats.
Can Blogged publish to WordPress?
No. Blogged hosts the blog itself rather than pushing posts into another system. You can serve it from a Blogged subdomain, from blog.yourcompany.com once you connect a domain, or under an existing path such as yourcompany.com/blog through a reverse proxy. If the blog has to stay inside WordPress, Blogauto.ai does that and Blogged does not, and that is the end of the comparison.
Does Blogauto.ai let you review articles before they publish?
Its own pages disagree, so check this in the product before you rely on it. The homepage, the WordPress landing page, the industry pages and the About page all describe a review or approval step before publishing. The user guide FAQ says the workflow currently publishes on schedule automatically, that you edit articles in WordPress after they go live, and that a pre publish review mode is on the roadmap.
How does the Blogged trial compare with Blogauto.ai's free tier?
Blogged gives you 3 days and takes a card at checkout. Blogauto.ai has a free tier listed at zero dollars forever with no card, described as three article credits on the pricing page and as 50 credits in the user guide, and the articles publish to your live site. If evaluating slowly and at no risk matters to you, that is a genuine advantage for Blogauto.ai and worth saying plainly.
Why does Blogged cost so much more per article?
It is not selling articles by the credit. Blogged Starter is $99 for 30 posts, and the price covers the hosted blog site, governance that can refuse to publish, a maintained fact base with sources, approved imagery, and reporting from Search Console through to lead conversion. If what you need is volume into a site you already run, that bundle is overhead and Blogauto.ai is the better buy.
What is the catch with letting Blogged host the blog?
You do not own the platform the blog runs on, and leaving means moving content and URLs. Blogged lowers that cost by exporting posts as a Markdown download or copy and by keeping revision history with selective restore, but it is still a real dependency. With Blogauto.ai the posts are in your WordPress database from the moment they publish, which is a genuine advantage worth weighing.
