Outrank alternative that plans, reviews and publishes your blog
AutomatedBlog is an Outrank alternative for owners who want a smaller plan and a review step before anything goes live.

Type your website in the planner below to see ten topics planned for your business.
Building your autopilot plan
- Reading your site
- Finding topics people search

- Planning your calendar
- Drafting the first post
01
A 30 article plan or a blog sized to your business
Outrank sells one main plan built around 30 articles a month, with keyword research and article generation for your site, plus add-ons for more volume. It fits a site that wants a high, steady output of search articles.
AutomatedBlog starts smaller. Starter is 12 posts a month, Growth is 40 and Pro is 150, each with images, internal links and scheduled publishing. If you want the highest volume at one price, Outrank is a fair pick. If a local company or store needs 12 accurate posts a month with rules and a safety review, a smaller plan costs less and carries less risk.

Why owners look for an Outrank alternative
The entry plan is sized for volume
Thirty articles a month at $99 is good value if you need thirty. A dental office, law firm or contractor often does not. Twelve useful posts a month is a pace one business can support with real service pages behind it.
More posts mean more to check
Every extra article is another claim about your prices, services or guarantees. AutomatedBlog writes from the facts on your pages and your rules, and a safety review checks each post before it goes live.
Extra volume is priced per site
Add-on articles on Outrank apply to one website. If you run several sites, the cost grows with each one. Growth and Pro bundle 3 and 10 sites in the plan.
You want topics tied to your offer
A calendar built from your own services and customers gives posts that link to what you sell, not only to what has search volume.
04
What the same month costs on each tool
A local service company wants 12 posts a month on one site. Outrank starts at $99 a month for 30 articles. AutomatedBlog Starter is $49 monthly or $24 per month billed $288 yearly for exactly 12 posts.
An agency wants 40 posts a month across 3 client sites. AutomatedBlog Growth is $149 monthly or $74 per month yearly. On Outrank the base plan covers 30 articles, and extra volume is added per website, so work out the total for your sites on its pricing page. For a single site that needs 90 or more articles, Outrank's add-ons are worth pricing.
Keep your published articles
Articles already live on your site stay there. Pause queued posts in your old tool so two systems do not publish on the same day.
Connect your site and set the rules
Connect WordPress, Shopify, Webflow or Ghost. Set your tone, the services you offer, claims you never make and topics to avoid.
Review the topic calendar
Look over the planned topics and dates. Move, swap or block anything that does not fit, then set how often you want to publish.
Let it publish on schedule
Posts go out with images and internal links. Check the monthly traffic report, and turn on approval on Pro if a manager must sign off each post.
06
When Outrank is the better choice
Outrank is the better buy in several honest cases.
- You want 30 or more articles a month on one site and will use them.
- You publish to Wix, Framer or Notion, which it lists and we do not.
- You run many sites and want its volume discounts for 5 or more sites.
- You are comfortable reviewing output yourself.
If that describes you, it is a sound tool. If you want a business blog that stays current with a review step, a focused autopilot fits better.
07

What is the best alternative to Outrank?
AutomatedBlog is a good Outrank alternative if you want a smaller flat plan, topic research, a safety review and scheduled publishing in one price. Outrank suits sites that want 30 or more articles a month. Pick based on how many posts your business can back with real service pages.
How much does Outrank cost?
Outrank lists an Organic Growth plan at $99 a month or $999 a year with 30 articles. Add-ons give 60 more articles for $85 a month or 90 more for $160 a month, per website. Multi-site discounts start at 2 sites. Check its site for current pricing.
Is Outrank good for small business blogs?
It works for sites that want high volume and will review the output. A small business that needs a dozen accurate posts a month and a review step usually fits a smaller plan better.
Is AutomatedBlog cheaper than Outrank?
At small volumes, yes. Starter is $49 monthly or $24 per month billed yearly for 12 posts, against $99 monthly for 30 Outrank articles. At 30 or more posts a month the gap narrows, so compare what each includes.
Can I move from Outrank to AutomatedBlog?
You do not need to move anything. Published articles stay on your site. Pause queued posts in Outrank first so nothing publishes twice, then connect your site and let the calendar start.
