WordPress and
Shopify articles post themselves →Two tools in the same category: both scan your site, write articles on autopilot and publish them for you. The differences that matter are the price, what happens with backlinks, and whether anyone checks the work made a difference. Here is the whole picture, including where they are the better choice.
| Helio SEO | AutoSEO | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | £29–£49 | $149, or $99 on a $1,188 annual plan |
| Trial | 3 days free, no card tricks | $1 for 3 days; monthly has a 7-day money-back guarantee |
| Articles | One a day, or every other day, written for the searches your buyers make | One a day; 30 a month guaranteed or the next month is free |
| Where it publishes | Your own domain, natively or hosted on your domain | Your site (WordPress, Shopify, Webflow and others), or a blog they host for you free |
| Backlinks | Journalist quotes and real citations we earn editorially; no link networks, ever | 5–10 links a month from a network of their own customers |
| Checks whether it worked | Weekly: did an AI assistant actually name you, and who got named instead | Not shown on their pages |
| Acts on what it finds | A miss becomes the specific article that closes it | Not shown on their pages |
| Review before publishing | Every draft, or one-switch autopilot | Not shown on their pages |
AutoSEO figures checked on their public pages, 28 August 2026. Their product changes without telling us; if a cell is out of date, say so and we will fix it. Our column states only what is live in the product today.
Their 30-articles-a-month-or-next-month-free guarantee is a real commitment we do not copy. If a contractual floor on output matters more to you than anything else on this page, that is a genuine point in their favour.
They will host a blog for you free on their infrastructure and handle the setup. We publish on your own domain because that is where the SEO value accrues, but their route is less work on day one.
They sell 5 to 10 monthly links from their other customers. We refuse to, because networked links built for ranking are what Google's spam policies describe, however carefully vetted. If you have weighed that risk and want the links anyway, they offer it and we never will.
Both products will keep your blog full. Only one of them asks the uncomfortable question afterwards: when a real buyer asks ChatGPT or Claude who to use, do you get named? Helio SEO measures that every week with live, grounded checks, tells you plainly when the answer is no, and writes the specific article that closes the gap. At $149 a month theirs needs to work harder than ours at £49. Read our own blog, written by the same pipeline.
Sign up, read your first drafts, and decide with the output in front of you. Three days free, from £29 a month, cancel anytime.
