SEO.AI runs content, backlinks and Google Ads for a fixed fee from $149 a month, with human review. Blogged writes and hosts a SaaS blog, from $99.
SEO.AI is closer to a managed service than to software: an agent writes and publishes, builds backlinks and runs Google Ads, and its own FAQ says human SEO specialists continuously review the output. It publishes no article volume, sells to businesses across all industries, and costs more than Blogged's entry plan. Blogged is a blog platform for B2B SaaS founders that hosts the blog itself and ties a signup to the post that produced it. Blogged starts at $99 per month per Project.

| Capability | Blogged | SEO.AI |
|---|---|---|
| States what it produces each month | Yes 30 posts on Starter, 60 on Growth and 90 on Ultra Growth, stated per tier. | No No article or page volume is published on either plan, so cost per piece cannot be calculated. |
| Human review included in the price | No Governance is automated. Blogged does not put its own editors on your drafts at any tier. | Yes Its FAQ says SEO specialists continuously review and spot check what the AI researches and writes. |
| Runs unattended once configured | Yes Full autopilot is on every sold plan, with governance deciding whether a post is allowed to go live. | Yes An agent works continuously, and content can publish automatically without you opening the platform. |
| Hold work for review before publishing | Yes Assisted autopilot is on every sold plan, so drafts can wait for a person rather than going live directly. | Yes Choose automatic publishing, drafts, or review in the platform, and it emails the content beforehand. |
| 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 SEO.AI publishes into a CMS you already run and hosts nothing of its own. |
| Capability | Blogged | SEO.AI |
|---|---|---|
| Writes and publishes articles | Yes Posts are drafted under approved Content Directions, 30 to 90 a month by plan. | Yes It writes pages and articles it describes as algorithm aligned, and publishes them to your CMS. |
| Builds backlinks | No Blogged does not build links and does not join any exchange network. | Yes Backlinks from sites it describes as real and non spammy are listed on both plans. |
| Runs paid advertising | No Blogged is an organic channel only and has no advertising surface at all. | Yes Building and optimizing Google Ads campaigns is listed as a feature of both plans. |
| Optimizes for AI assistant citation | Yes Posts are optimized for SEO and GEO together rather than for classic search results alone. | Yes Both plans state that it targets Google and ChatGPT visibility. |
| Several languages on one plan | No Blogged publishes a Project in one language, so a second language is a second Project. | Yes Its $299 plan covers up to three websites or languages, with larger options on a slider. |
| Capability | Blogged | SEO.AI |
|---|---|---|
| Search Console feeding decisions | Yes Search Console sync is on every sold plan rather than an upper tier upgrade. | Partial Both plans list performance monitoring, though no named Search Console integration is described. |
| 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. | Not published Performance is monitored, but nothing public describes lead capture or attributing a signup to a page. |
| Tracks named competitors over time | Yes Competitor watch is on every paid plan, tracking 7 on Starter and 25 on Ultra Growth. | Not published Content recommendations imply competitive analysis, but no tracked competitor list is described. |
| Built around a B2B software buyer | Yes Content Directions are configured around your product, positioning and audience. | No It addresses businesses across all industries, and names ecommerce and agencies rather than software. |
| Free tools and training around the product | Partial Blogged publishes free tools, though a smaller estate than SEO.AI's. | Yes A large estate of keyword, ranking, linking and detection tools, plus webinars, training and a glossary. |
Most products in this category insist they are software. SEO.AI does not, and it is better for saying so: its FAQ states plainly that the AI researches and writes while its own SEO specialists continuously review and spot check the results. That changes what the monthly fee is buying and it explains why the fee is higher than most. Blogged is software with automated governance, and your team supplies whatever human review you want. Neither is better in the abstract, but only one of them is paying salaries out of your subscription, and that is worth knowing before comparing prices.
SEO.AI publishes no article volume anywhere. Not a monthly count, not a range, not a per week figure. It sells a fixed fee outcome, positioned against an agency retainer, and the fee is the same whether the month produced four pieces or forty. That is a coherent way to sell a service and it is genuinely how agencies price. It also means nobody outside the company can calculate cost per article, so a comparison against Blogged's stated allowances is impossible on public information and this page will not manufacture one.
SEO.AI builds and optimizes Google Ads campaigns as part of the same subscription that writes your articles. That is unusual on this roster and it is a meaningful difference: paid and organic search compete for the same queries, and running them from one place is a real advantage for a small team. Blogged is an organic channel only, and deliberately so. If your problem is that nobody is running your marketing, SEO.AI covers more of it. If your problem is specifically that your blog is empty, the extra scope is not what you are buying.
This page is published by Blogged, so treat it as a vendor comparison. These are the points where SEO.AI is the stronger answer, stated plainly.
Read their own material at seo.aiBlogged 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 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 pricingBacklinks and Google Ads both end with the subscription and neither has an equivalent in Blogged. If paid search was bringing in a meaningful share of your pipeline, that is a separate problem to solve rather than something to discover a month later when the numbers move.
SEO.AI's specialists were reading your content before it published. Blogged governs publication automatically and lets your own team hold drafts through assisted autopilot, which is on every sold plan. Turn that on for the first month so somebody is still reading, then relax it once the Content Directions settle.
SEO.AI published into your own CMS, so those pages keep their URLs and stay where they are. Blogged publishes to a blog it hosts. Either run the two apart, or serve the Blogged blog from your existing path by reverse proxy so a reader sees one site rather than two.
SEO.AI monitored performance but described no conversion reporting. Newsletter lead capture is on every paid Blogged plan and ties a signup back to the post that produced it, so connecting it before the first post gives you the metric the previous subscription never provided.
Short answers to the questions buyers ask before they start with either product.
It does not say. No article or page volume appears on the pricing page or in the FAQ, on either plan. It is sold as a fixed fee outcome positioned against an agency retainer rather than as a quota, which means cost per article cannot be calculated from public information and is worth asking their team directly.
Both, and it says so. Its FAQ states that the AI performs the research and writing while its own SEO specialists continuously review and make spot checks to ensure the texts work for Google and for readers. That human layer is part of what the monthly fee buys and it is a real difference from a pure software subscription.
Its entry plan does. Single Site is $149 a month for one website in one language, against $99 for Blogged Starter, and its prices exclude VAT. What the difference buys is human review, backlink building and Google Ads management, none of which Blogged provides. What Blogged includes instead is the hosted blog and conversion reporting.
No. It publishes into a CMS you already run, naming WordPress, Webflow, Wix and Squarespace along with webshop systems including Shopify and Magento, and says the connection takes minutes without developers. Blogged hosts the blog itself, so the destination is included rather than assumed.
Yes, and it is one of the clearest differences between the two products. Building and optimizing Google Ads campaigns is listed as a feature of both its plans, alongside the organic content and backlink work. Blogged is an organic channel only and has no advertising surface of any kind.
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.
