Koala AI is a six part writing platform for creators and affiliates, from $9 a month in words and credits. Blogged runs and hosts a SaaS blog, from $99.
Koala AI is a writing platform for creators, niche site publishers and Amazon affiliates, metered in words and credits across nine tiers rather than in articles. Blogged is an autonomous blog platform for B2B SaaS founders that plans topics, writes posts, hosts the blog itself and ties a signup to the post that produced it. Koala publishes on a cadence only from its third tier, and it does not host. Blogged starts at $99 per month per Project.

| Capability | Blogged | Koala AI |
|---|---|---|
| States a monthly article allowance | Yes 30 posts on Starter, 60 on Growth and 90 on Ultra Growth, stated per tier. | No Metered in words and credits across all nine tiers, with no article count published anywhere. |
| The allowance means the same whatever you choose | Yes A post is a post, and the plan limit does not change with any setting. | No The word figure assumes one model; two count at twice the rate and two more at three times. |
| Publishes on a cadence on the entry plan | Yes Full autopilot is on every sold plan, including the entry tier. | No The content calendar that publishes automatically starts on the $99 tier. |
| Images included in the plan | Yes Images are metered per plan, 150 a month on Starter and 450 on Ultra Growth. | Yes Its image generator is part of the same subscription and draws on the shared credit balance. |
| Unlimited team seats | Yes Team seats are unlimited on every paid plan, so adding people never changes the bill. | Not published No seat count appears on any tier, and the ladder is described in brands rather than users. |
| Capability | Blogged | Koala AI |
|---|---|---|
| Hosts the blog for you | Yes Blogged hosts the blog: a Blogged subdomain immediately, your own subdomain once connected, or your path by reverse proxy. | No Koala publishes into a site you already run and hosts nothing of its own. |
| Publishes into an existing CMS | No Blogged owns the destination rather than pushing posts into WordPress or Shopify. | Yes WordPress, Shopify, Webflow and Ghost natively, plus webhooks into Zapier, Make and anything else. |
| Writes for a B2B software buyer | Yes Content Directions are configured around your product, positioning and audience. | Partial It writes any subject well, but its named features and customers point at creators, niche sites and affiliates. |
| Affiliate and product review content | No Blogged writes editorial posts and has no affiliate or product data features. | Yes Amazon roundups and single product reviews built from live product data and real reviews. |
| API access on the entry plan | No Blogged exposes no public API for driving the content pipeline. | Yes API access is listed on every tier, including the cheapest one. |
| Capability | Blogged | Koala AI |
|---|---|---|
| Analyses the results page before writing | Yes Posts are researched against the current results for the Topic rather than written from the model alone. | Yes It analyses the results page for the keyword and works the relevant entities into the article. |
| Internal linking across the site | Yes Posts are interlinked as the archive grows, so later posts strengthen earlier ones without manual placement. | Yes It indexes your entire site and places links automatically, across up to fifty sites from the second tier. |
| Search Console feeding decisions | Yes Search Console sync is on every sold plan rather than an upper tier upgrade. | Partial Search Console and Analytics sit in one dashboard, from the $49 tier upward rather than the entry plan. |
| Analytics beside search data | Partial Blogged reports Search Console data and newsletter lead capture, without a Google Analytics integration. | Yes It brings Search Console and Google Analytics into a single dashboard, which few rivals do at all. |
| Reports on conversion, not only ranking | Yes Newsletter lead capture is on every paid plan, so a published post can be joined to what it brought in. | Partial Its lead magnet builder captures interest, though nothing describes attributing a signup to a post. |
Koala AI's features tell you who it serves before its testimonials do: live Amazon product data, affiliate roundups, single product reviews, a lead magnet builder, internal linking across as many as fifty sites. That is a publisher's toolkit, and its named customers are niche site operators and blogging educators. Blogged is built around a single software product, with Content Directions configured to its positioning and lead capture measuring signups. Neither is a worse product; they are answers to different jobs, and the price ladders reflect that more than they reflect quality.
This is the detail most worth carrying away. Koala's headline word figures assume one specific model. Two other models consume the allowance at twice the rate, and two more at three times, which its own footnote states. A plan advertised at 250,000 words is closer to 83,000 if you use the most capable options, and there is no article count anywhere to convert that into posts. Blogged meters posts, Topics, images and tracked competitors, so a tier describes a month directly. Neither approach is dishonest, but only one of them can be compared to the other without arithmetic and an assumption.
Most pages in this set argue that Blogged measures more than the competitor. Here it is genuinely split. Koala brings Search Console and Google Analytics into a single dashboard from its $49 tier, which is more search and traffic reporting than Blogged offers, since we sync Search Console and have no Analytics integration. What Blogged adds is the step past traffic: newsletter lead capture on every paid plan, tying a signup back to the post that produced it. If sessions are your metric, Koala reports them better. If signups are, Blogged does.
This page is published by Blogged, so treat it as a vendor comparison. These are the points where Koala AI is the stronger answer, stated plainly.

Blogged presents a 3 day trial, which takes a card. A link under it takes a one-time Free allowance on your first Project instead: no card, claimed with a public post about your new blog. Nothing expires while that allowance lasts; a spent Free Project is archived after 14 days and unpublished after 30 unless you upgrade. When you need more, Blogged paid plans start at $99 per month per Project with 30 published posts a month.
See full pricingKoala is a writer, a chat assistant, an image generator, an internal linking tool, a lead magnet builder and a brand profile system. Blogged replaces the writing and adds a blog. The linking across many sites, the affiliate features and the chat assistant all stop, so list what you actually opened before assuming this is a swap.
If Amazon roundups or product reviews were earning you money, Blogged has no equivalent and will not produce them. That is a hard boundary rather than a gap to work around, and it is the clearest reason a Koala customer should stay where they are.
Koala gave you a word allowance whose real size depended on the model. Blogged gives a post count. Before switching, work out how many finished posts a month you were actually publishing, because that is the number to size a Blogged plan against, not the headline word figure.
Koala reports Search Console and Google Analytics together. Blogged syncs Search Console and adds newsletter lead capture, but has no Analytics integration. That is a real trade rather than an upgrade: you lose session level reporting and gain attribution of a signup to a post.
Short answers to the questions buyers ask before they start with either product.
It does not say, on any of its nine tiers. Everything is metered in words and credits rather than articles, and the word allowance itself depends on which model you use, at one, two or three times the stated rate. Converting a Koala plan into a monthly post count requires assumptions the company does not publish.
Only from its $99 tier upward, where a content calendar generates and publishes on a schedule. The two cheaper tiers write articles you then publish yourself. Blogged runs full autopilot on every sold plan, including the entry tier, with governance deciding whether each post is allowed to go live.
No. It publishes into a site you already run, with built in integrations for WordPress, Shopify, Webflow and Ghost, plus webhooks into Zapier and Make. Blogged hosts the blog itself, so the destination is part of what you buy rather than a prerequisite you have to bring and administer.
It depends what you measure. Koala brings Search Console and Google Analytics into one dashboard from its $49 tier, which is more traffic reporting than Blogged offers, since we have no Analytics integration. Blogged adds newsletter lead capture on every paid plan, so a signup can be traced to the post that produced it.
It writes well on any subject, but its distinctive features point elsewhere: live Amazon product data, affiliate roundups, product reviews and internal linking across up to fifty sites. Its named customers are niche site publishers and blogging educators, and it counts 20,000+ paid creators. A software company gets the writer without most of what makes it special.
Blogged presents a 3 day trial that takes a card, and offers a one-time Free allowance on a new account's first Project instead: 3 posts, 40 Topics, 15 delivered images and 7 competitors. Free takes no card, and you claim it rather than receive it: post publicly on X about your new blog, naming @blogged_app and your blog address, then paste that link within a day of posting. A verified email address is needed too. No clock runs on the allowance itself. Once the posts or images are used up, the Project is archived after 14 days and its blog is unpublished after 30 unless you choose a paid plan; upgrading reverses both.
