How Much Does Frase Cost in 2026?

Frase has positioned itself as the 'good enough at a better price' alternative to Clearscope by bundling capabilities Clearscope doesn't offer — AI writer for first-draft generation, AI research agent, content brief builder, SERP analyzer, competitor analysis — in one platform. The Starter tier at $49/mo (10 AI articles, 1 domain, 1 user) is appropriate for solo SEO freelancers or bloggers producing 2-3 articles/week. Professional at $129/mo is where most in-house SEO teams land: 40 AI-optimized articles/month, 5 domains monitored, 3 user seats, unlimited SERP research and brand voice profiles. The economics vs Clearscope at the $129 price point are interesting: Clearscope gives you unlimited users but only 20 drafts/month and no AI writer; Frase gives you 3 users but 40 AI articles and AI generation. For teams primarily generating new content with AI assist, Frase wins at $129; for teams primarily grading human-written content, Clearscope wins. Scale at $299 (100 articles, 10 domains, 5 users) handles serious content operations. The 20% annual discount is standard but applied to already-reasonable monthly pricing. The 2024-2026 evolution added GEO (geographic optimization) and AI visibility (optimize for AI search engines like Perplexity/ChatGPT) as first-class features. Where Frase wins: combines AI research + AI writer + SERP optimization + brand voice in one platform, transparent tiered pricing with article-volume clarity, 20% annual discount, 7-day no-CC trial. Where it loses: 10 articles/mo on Starter is tight (upgrade fast), AI writer quality lags dedicated tools (Jasper, Claude API), 3-user cap on Professional constrains growing teams, content grading less polished than Clearscope's A+ scoring.
