AI SEO autopilot pricing compared

AI SEO autopilots plan, write and publish articles to your site. Several cost about the same for about the same number of articles, so the real differences are in how they handle links, whether they track how AI assistants mention you, and how you can try them.

This page lists 10 tools with their monthly price, what the allowance covers, their approach to backlinks, AI-visibility tracking and any trial or free start. LaunchRanked has two rows: Autopilot writes for you, and SEO Skills lets your own AI assistant do the writing.

Prices checked on 25 September 2026. Prices change often and several vendors run launch discounts, so check the vendor’s own page before you buy.

What matters when you compare AI SEO tools

Articles per month, and what counts

Some plans count articles, some count credits (Arvow: an article costs 15) and some count words (Koala). Work out how many articles you'd actually get for the price.

The backlink approach

Several tools include a backlink exchange or a partner network among customers. Google's spam policies list excessive link exchanges and automated link programs as link spam, so decide whether you want that on your domain, and how big. Some keep it small and opt-in; others don't build links at all.

AI-visibility tracking

Tracking shows whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude or Google's AI Overviews mention you for a set of prompts. Check how many prompts, which engines and which plan includes it.

Trial and billing

Trials range from a few days to a free allowance of articles or words, and some tools offer a refund instead. Yearly billing often cuts the monthly price, so compare like with like.

Where LaunchRanked fits

LaunchRanked Autopilot is $49/mo at the founding price for the first 100 customers, then $99/mo. It publishes 30 researched articles a month to your CMS, proposes new titles and snippets for pages already ranking on page 1–2 of Search Console, and tracks 25 prompts across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode every week. Your first subscription starts with a 7-day free trial; a card is required, and you're charged when it ends unless you cancel.

If you'd rather have your own AI assistant write, SEO Skills is $9/mo at the founding price for the first 100 customers, then $19/mo. It works over MCP in Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and other clients: content plans from real keyword data, article briefs, Autopilot's quality checks, and up to 30 articles a month published to your CMS. It doesn't include AI-visibility tracking. First SEO Skills subscription: 7-day free trial, card required.

Autopilot Pro is $199/mo at the founding price for the first 50 customers, then $299/mo: up to 90 articles a month at a pace your domain can take, 8 short videos a month made from your articles with Versely, link outreach our team sends for you, our Max directory package once and 5 more directories a month, and a Featured launch on LaunchRanked.

None of our plans sells links. Autopilot finds link opportunities each month (lists AI assistants cite that leave you out, pages that link to your competitors, and mentions of you without a link) and drafts the outreach, which you send yourself, or our team sends for you on Autopilot Pro. You can also switch on our member link exchange for a site: it's opt-in and capped at one link per article, 5 in and 5 out a month, with no direct swaps. If you want a bigger link network bundled in, or need many sites, other tools in this table are built for that.

How Autopilot works

Frequently asked questions

How much does an AI SEO autopilot cost?

For about 30 articles a month, Outrank and RankPill are $99/mo, BabyLoveGrowth's Grow plan appears to be $99/mo on monthly billing ($49 billed yearly) and Machined's Launch plan is $19/mo. LaunchRanked Autopilot is $49/mo at the founding price, then $99/mo, and LaunchRanked SEO Skills, where your own AI writes, is $9/mo, then $19/mo. Prices checked on 25 September 2026.

Do AI SEO tools build backlinks for you?

Some do. Outrank and RankPill run backlink exchanges, BabyLoveGrowth has a partner network of 4,000+ sites, Arvow adds automatic backlinks from its Business tier and SEObot lists AI backlink building. Machined, Koala and Byword don't build links. LaunchRanked doesn't buy links. Autopilot drafts outreach to sites that already link to your competitors (on Autopilot Pro our team sends it for you), and its member link exchange is opt-in and capped: one link per article, 5 in and 5 out a month, no direct swaps. Google's spam policies list excessive link exchanges and automated link programs as link spam.

Which AI SEO tools track visibility in ChatGPT and other assistants?

In this table: BabyLoveGrowth (10 prompts on Grow), Arvow (LLM brand visibility from its Business tier) and LaunchRanked Autopilot (25 prompts across 6 engines). RankPill lists it as coming soon. We didn't find dedicated tracking at Outrank, SEObot, Machined or Byword.

Is yearly billing cheaper?

Usually. Outrank is $999 a year and RankPill $990, against $99 a month. BabyLoveGrowth and Arvow show lower monthly prices on yearly billing, Koala takes 20% off and Machined 25%. LaunchRanked Autopilot, Autopilot Pro and SEO Skills are 12 months for the price of 10 on yearly billing ($${AUTOPILOT_ANNUAL.price} a year for Autopilot at the founding price). Compare the price for the billing period you'd actually choose.
