Research, outline and write pages that can rank — without publishing AI slop.

Our picks

  1. 1. Claude

    Anthropic's AI assistant, strong at long documents, writing and code.

    Verdict: Top pick for the actual writing: the most natural drafts and the best editor of your own material.

  2. 2. Surfer

    SEO content editor that scores drafts against top-ranking pages.

    Verdict: Scores your draft against what ranks; useful guardrails, but don't write to the score alone.

  3. 3. Clearscope

    Premium content-optimization tool for keyword coverage and content grading.

    Verdict: Premium content grading for teams and agencies; overkill for a solo site.

  4. 4. Perplexity

    AI answer engine that searches the web and cites sources.

    Verdict: Fast cited research on a topic and on what competitors cover.

  5. 5. ChatGPT

    OpenAI's general-purpose AI assistant with chat, images, voice and search.

    Verdict: Solid all-rounder for briefs, outlines and meta descriptions; deep research for topic gaps.
