Blogged vs One Blog a Day: run the blog, or feed the CMS you have

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.

Keyword discovery draws on the audience segments built from your site, Search Console history and competitor ranking data, deduplicated against what you have already published. The pricing page meters runs at 1, 3, 7 and 15 a month by plan, and the homepage cards list a higher set, so confirm the allowance before buying on it.

The Knowledge Engine holds source bound product, competitor and keyword facts with official sources, verified facts, freshness monitoring, conflict resolution and controlled refresh. Stale, rejected, superseded or conflicting entries are not eligible for normal reuse.

The site is read on first run to extract what you sell and build audience segments, and each post is researched as it is written. No public page describes a stored fact base with per fact sources, freshness or conflict handling.

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.

Competitor mining is listed on Growth and Scale, and a scout agent looks at what competitors rank for that you do not. No public page describes how often it runs, how many competitors it covers, or a signal feed you review.

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.

A brand voice profile is built from your site and can be edited in settings, and the WordPress changelog lists a reject button for generated posts in the Assist mode review queue. No public page describes an approved rule set that later generation is checked against.

Onboarding starts from a website URL, a product description, or product documents, and you connect a domain when you are ready. Blogged is a route to a first blog, not only an addition to a site you have.

Every published onboarding path begins with a website URL that the system reads to understand the business, and the paid tiers assume a CMS to publish into. No page describes starting from a product description or documents.

The editor scores content readiness, lists blockers, breaks the score down by SEO pillar, orders the priority fixes, and carries a separate GEO checklist alongside taxonomy and post settings.

The vendor states every post runs a multi stage pipeline and lands at 1,500 words or more in your brand voice, with known AI slop patterns scrubbed and an editor pass on the final draft. No per post score is published.

The editor carries a sources and citations panel, and generation draws on the official sources recorded against verified facts in the Knowledge Engine.

The vendor states every post ships with external citations drawn from more than 800 vetted sources, alongside FAQ schema and front loaded answers. This is a real capability, not a gap.

A drafting run inserts internal links itself, already published posts take up to ten more each time a post publishes, and Blogged links only to destinations it has verified are live. The blog site also generates related reading.

Internal links are pulled from your real sitemap, so a post can link the pages you already have rather than only its own siblings.

Blogged discovers site images and rendered page captures, holds them in a review queue until a member approves them, places an approved visual exactly, and composites your approved logo after generation. 150 to 450 images a month by plan.

One original featured image is generated per post, compressed to WebP and uploaded to the media library, with premium variants on Scale. No public page describes in article images, capture of your real site, or any logo handling.

The editor carries SEO and taxonomy fields and a GEO checklist for how a post is structured. Blogged does not publish an author schema or per article JSON-LD feature, and this is a real gap against this competitor.

FAQ schema and Person JSON-LD are stated on every post, carrying an author profile with name, title, bio, credentials, photo and LinkedIn that you fill in at onboarding. Its WordPress.org listing says BlogPosting and BreadcrumbList are injected only when no SEO plugin is installed, while its own plugin page states them unconditionally.

Blogged does not publish a multilingual generation capability. Assume English until it does.

No public page mentions language selection or non English output either way, so treat it as unanswered rather than absent.

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.

In WordPress, Shopify or Wix, in the right category with metadata in place, or at blog.yourdomain.com through a one click CNAME. Posts also export as Markdown, HTML or plain text.

Blogged does not push into an existing CMS. It is the destination rather than a plugin, and for a team keeping its current site that is the main reason to rule Blogged out.

A WordPress plugin listed on WordPress.org since May 2026, plus the WordPress REST API, Shopify and Wix. The plugin writes SEO fields into Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO, SEOPress or The SEO Framework.

Maintained themes, brand identity, typography, homepage content, featured stories, navigation, newsletter and product CTAs, responsive previews, on site reader search, related reading and consent controls all ship with the site.

The CNAME option gives posts a home at blog.yourdomain.com so ranking signal credits your domain. No public page describes a theme, homepage, navigation, on site search or related reading around those posts. Otherwise the design is whatever your CMS already has.

Autopilot holds the publishing cadence and schedule under manual control, and the command center shows current status, scheduled publications and an activity and recovery trace.

The pricing page states the Autopilot cadence by plan: none on Free, twice a week on Starter, daily on Growth and unlimited on Scale. The vendor describes it as running on a natural schedule with human like timing.

A published post stays editable by hand with no cap, and AI regeneration is metered at 1 to 3 per post by plan, with revision history and selective restore. There is no automatic detector that queues a refresh for you.

Search Console rankings are watched per post, and a post that starts slipping is queued, rewritten against the current keyword landscape and republished. Metered at 15 a month on Growth and 30 on Scale, and not offered below Growth.

Blogged covers the blog, its newsletter and its CTAs. There is no social posting, no off site link building, and no syndication of any kind.

Social posts are metered at 10, 30 and 50 a month by paid plan, and the WordPress page names LinkedIn and X and states they are ready to share or auto publish. The homepage names three networks.

Insights reports clicks, impressions, CTR, average position, top queries and top pages from a connected property, plus indexing coverage, on Google's finalized windows. Search Console sync is on every paid plan.

Search Console rankings and indexing requests are included on Growth and Scale, metered at 50 and 200 indexing requests a month. The pricing table shows neither on Free or Starter, though the homepage Starter card disagrees.

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, channels and campaigns.

Reporting is search side: rankings, indexing and an SEO health dashboard. Because posts land in a site the vendor does not own, measuring what a post converts stays with whatever analytics that site already runs.

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 public page describes a signup form, lead capture surface or CTA block on a published post. If your CMS already has one, the post simply appears inside it.

Full Autopilot publishes only after approved Content Directions and governance checks pass. A publication hold blocks publication outright, the review queue is governed rather than advisory, and a person can still publish by hand at any time.

Assist mode holds every post for your approval and the vendor states no blog goes live without it, with a reject button in the review queue. Its Terms then state that enabling full Autopilot publishes to your CMS without manual approval and that reviewing content is your responsibility. The check is a person, not a rule the system enforces.

Each site is a separate Project priced on its own, with a discount by position: Projects 2 to 4 take 10 percent off, 5 to 10 take 15 percent and 11 to 20 take 20 percent, up to 20 Projects. Team seats are unlimited on every plan.

One website on Free and Starter, three on Growth and five on Scale, all on a single $149 bill at the top tier. Subdomains of one domain count as one website. No seat count is published.
