Comparison
SEObot vs Outrank.so
We respect Outrank for proving the market. We disagree with how they treat customers.
| Feature | SEObot | Outrank |
|---|---|---|
| Daily auto-publish | ||
| WordPress / Shopify / Webflow / Ghost | ||
| Keyword data source | DataForSEO + live SERP scraping | Internal estimates |
| Fact-checking pass | Required, with citations | |
| Pre-flight quality gate | Score-based, refuses low-quality publishes | |
| Outline approval (optional) | Yes — review the brief before drafting | |
| Cancellation | One click in-app, instant | Email-only, multi-day delay |
| Affiliate program | 30% recurring, 60-day cookie, $50 min payout, transparent terms | Allegedly nuked retroactively |
| Pricing | $49 / $99 / $299 + multi-site discounts | Comparable on entry, opaque at volume |
Four reasons people switch.
They damage existing sites.
Outrank's most common complaint is that it tanks rankings on established domains. We refuse to publish if our quality model thinks the draft will hurt your site.
Their cancellation flow is the dark pattern.
The number one criticism. Email-only, ignored tickets, charges that keep landing. Ours is a button. Your subscription ends the second you click it.
No fact-checking, no citations.
AI hallucinates. Outrank ships drafts straight from the LLM. We fact-check claims against the live web before anything ships, with citations.
They burned their affiliates.
Public claims of retroactive commission cancellation. We use Rewardful (Stripe-native), pay 30% recurring, and don't mess with your earnings.
