    Frase.io AI Tools Benchmark Testing

    Now, let us test the content generated by Frase.io for different important benchmarks. I have chosen the topic “SEO Tips and Tricks” for the testing.

    Content Quality

    I will be honest here: although the content generated by Frase.io is good, it is nowhere near the quality that will rank on Google, Bing, or other search engines.

    The image below shows the article generated by the Frase –

    Example of Frase.io article

    From the example, you can see that although the content is decent, it is nothing better than what ChatGPT or Claude can not generate. In fact, that platform can write better than Frase.

    I am certainly not impressed by the content quality. It is not good enough if you are specially writing for SEO purpose. You can still use for E-mail, Cold E-mail, E-mail reply, etc.

    AI Content Detection Pass

    Another drawback of Frase is that its AI-generated content does not pass AI detection tools like Copyleaks, Quillbot, and SuperGPT. All the AI detectors successfully detected the content generated by Frase.

    Why is it bad? Well, AI-generated content tends to perform badly in search ranking. Many people will try to convince you otherwise, but this is the ultimate truth.

    Copyleaks detected the Frase content

    Thus, if you want to use Frase to generate AI content to increase search ranking or get more traffic, I recommend against using it.

    SEO Optimization Topic Research

    One area where Frase really excels is SEO topic research and optimization.

    Frase analyzes the top 20 search results for a given topic and creates a content strategy based on the research. The output content outline and research data are really good for SEO content writers.

    Frase SEO Topic Research Output

    Frase SEO Topic research gives you four important results –

    1. SERP – To help you target Google’s SERP results
    2. Outline – Generate an SEO optimized SEO content outline
    3. Optimize – Analyze the current SEO score of your content as per the analyzed result.
    4. Info Gain – Helps you find topic-related information and potential content ideas.

    I really love the Content research, brief, SEO analyzer, and information-gathering features; they are amazing!

    Frase.io Pricing Plans – Not enough Features in Low Tier Plan

    The features I love are the content research and brief. However, that feature is also hit by the pricing plan and the tier features of the platform.

    Frase.io has four pricing plans – Free, Solo, Basic, and Team.

    The solo plan costs $15/Month with monthly and $12/Month with an annual subscription. Basic Plan costs $45/Month with monthly and $38/Month with annual subscription. And finally, $115/Month for monthly and $97/Month with annual subscription.

    The solo and basic plans give 10 and 30 search queries per month. On the other hand, the Team Plan gives unlimited search queries. This is certainly not enough for solo and basic plans. Any website owner will need more than 30 search queries per month to get decent content.

    Furthermore, the Solo plan further has a limitation of 20,000 words per month on AI content. So if you are not happy with the generated content and re create them again, you might exaust your monthly quota easily.

    And finally, if you want to write a full article, you have to get an additional add-on worth $30/Month, which creates 30 articles every month.

    The pricing plan does not justify its features for individuals and small brands. It is a good ideal for teams and high brands though.

    Conclusion: Good Features, Bad Pricing Plans

    Frase.io is a good platform for teams and people who like an AI content generator tool for Non-SEO purposes. If you are specifically getting it for content research and AI content generation for SEO, I will recommend going with tools like SEMRush Instead.

    The Verdict – I will not recommend getting Frase if you are specifically getting it for SEO research and AI content generation to enhance the website’s SEO. However, the team plan and for non-SEO content, you can consider getting the Frase

    To summarize the article, here is a table consisting of what I like and don’t like about the Frase.io
