What does each plan cost, and what does it include?
RankYak has one plan, RankYak Pro, at $99 a month per site or $990 a year. It writes one article on each day you choose to publish, so about 30 a month when every day is on, and includes keyword research, a content plan, a backlink exchange, an in-app assistant, an API and an MCP server. Site Guard, which fixes weak titles and descriptions on pages you already have, is a $99 add-on.
TrySEO Starter costs $39 a month, or $19 a month billed yearly. It writes 30 articles a month of about 1,500 words, each with an image, meta tags, an FAQ and schema, and runs daily technical and AI-readiness checks on your site. It doesn't include backlinks.
TrySEO Growth, at $179 a month ($89 billed yearly), adds backlinks from partner sites, AI tracking in ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, a technical SEO audit and weekly social posts.
What happens after an article is published?
RankYak watches your Google Search Console data and rewrites articles that are losing ground, on the same URL, keeping a copy of each earlier version. Some publishing days go to a refresh instead of a new article, and you choose which.
TrySEO Starter spends every publishing day on a new article from your 30-day topic plan, and checks your site daily for technical and AI-readiness problems. It also tracks how AI assistants answer: your 5 questions go to Claude every week, several times each, and you see how often your site was used as a source, named or recommended.
Where can each one publish?
RankYak publishes directly to WordPress, WordPress.com, Shopify, Webflow, Wix, Duda and Ghost, and connects to anything else through Zapier, Make, its API, an RSS feed or webhooks. Articles can go live or arrive as drafts.
TrySEO Starter publishes to WordPress, Shopify and Webflow, or to any other site through a webhook. Each article can go live, land as a draft in your CMS, or wait in your dashboard for approval. Growth adds Wix, Ghost, Framer and more.
When RankYak is the better pick
RankYak suits sites that already have a body of content worth maintaining, and teams that want backlinks without a bigger plan. It also fits agencies running many client sites on one account.
- You want backlinks at $99 a site (TrySEO includes them from Growth, at $179)
- You want slipping articles refreshed from your Search Console data
- You publish to Wix, Duda or Ghost, or through Zapier or Make
- You write in several languages: RankYak lists more than 40
- You want to manage your SEO from Claude or Cursor through an MCP server
