AI blog writers at a glance
Every fact is linked to the company's own page in its cell and was read on October 22, 2026, except Outrank's price, which is Paperboy's October 4, 2026 snapshot and was unchanged when re-read October 22. "Not listed" means we did not find it on the pages we read. It is not proof the feature is missing.

Paperboy's plans are per site: Starter is $49 a month for 3 articles a week, Growth is $99 for 1 article a day (7 a week) and Pro is $179 for 2 a day (14 a week). Every extra site is 20 percent off, and yearly billing gives two months free (paperboyseo.com).
How to read the table
- Compare price and volume together. A $49 plan with 3 articles a week is not the same offer as $99 for 30 a month.
- Arvow bills in credits, so the number of articles depends on what else you spend credits on.
- Prices change and several vendors run promotions. Confirm on the vendor's page before you buy.
- "Listed" means the vendor's page says it. It does not tell you how well it works. Read the first three articles from any tool before you let it run.
- "Fact-checked" can mean different things. Paperboy's page says every number must appear in the linked source and cited sentences are compared with that source's own words. If an article fails, it gets one rewrite, then is held for you (paperboyseo.com). SEObot and RankYak list fact checking or cited sources, but the pages we read do not describe what they compare.

What we could not verify
- Whether any tool's fact check works as described. We read what each page says, and we did not test the tools.
- How many articles SEObot includes each month, and how many RightBlogger includes. Neither page lists a count.
- Whether Arvow's $39 Solo price is still shown after its sale ends. The page showed a limited-time banner on October 22, 2026.
- Whether Jasper publishes to WordPress or any site automatically. Neither is listed on the pages we read.
- Quality, languages and results. We make no claim about traffic or search positions for any tool, Paperboy included, and no tool can promise them.
- Koala AI and Surfer. We did not read their pages for this table.
- Outrank's price was re-read October 22, 2026 and matched Paperboy's October 4, 2026 snapshot.
Does Paperboy have a way to check AI search visibility?
An AI search tracker is not listed on paperboyseo.com. PickCheck, a sister product of Paperboy, offers a "Free AI visibility check for local businesses," so you can check whether AI names your business. No tool can promise that AI answers will mention you.
