Verified September 2026 against https://docs.seobotai.com/en/articles/10644453-what-s-seobot-pricing.

SEObot is an autonomous blog-SEO agent aimed at founders who do not want to touch SEO at all. You onboard a site, it researches the audience and keywords, builds a content plan, writes articles with images, publishes them to nine CMSs, and runs a monthly internal-linking sweep. Plans start at $49 a month for 9 articles and step up to 300 articles at $1,050; there is no free trial, but the $49 plan is refundable after the first article.

Spook is the same idea with different trade-offs: $60 a month buys 30 published articles for one site, topic selection is grounded in your Search Console data and live ranking difficulty, the backlink exchange is a real allowance rather than best-effort credits, and the trial is 7 days of the full product with no card.

SEObot is $49/month for 9 articles or $99 for 20. Spook is $60/month for 30 published articles per site.

## FAQ

### Is SEObot cheaper than Spook?

At the entry point, yes: SEObot's $49 plan is $11 cheaper than Spook's $60. Per article, no: that $49 buys 9 articles and SEObot's $99 plan buys 20, while Spook's $60 buys 30 published articles with research, backlinks and images included.

### Does SEObot build backlinks?

Partly. Each SEObot article earns a backlink credit that SEObot uses to try to place a link from its article pool. Its own documentation calls these attempts rather than obligations and says they are not part of the paid deliverables. Spook's backlink exchange gives every site 100 credits a month and places niche-matched links.

### Does SEObot have a free trial?

No. SEObot has no free trial or free plan; it offers a full refund on the $49 plan if you are unhappy after the first article. Spook has a 7-day free trial of the full product with no card.

### Can I review articles before they publish on either?

Yes on both. SEObot lets you approve, decline or moderate articles and can leave drafts in your CMS with auto-publish off. Spook lets you choose per site whether articles publish live or land as drafts.

### Which one uses Google Search Console data?

Spook uses Search Console as the source for topic selection and refresh alerts. SEObot lets you connect Search Console, but does not document publicly what it does with the data.
