Honest framing

Which one fits your situation?

We won't pretend we're better at everything. Here's when each tool is the right call.

Pick Frase if…

  • You only need briefs + content optimization — no rank tracking, audits, or AI Search Visibility
  • You rely on Frase's question research (PAA + competitor SERP) — we use Claude on cited sources instead, which is comparable but not 1:1
  • Your team has deep Frase-specific workflows + scoring habits already

Pick ItzSEO if…

  • You want SEO suite bundled (content + audits + rank tracking + keyword intel)
  • You prefer Claude over GPT for long-form quality
  • You're an agency that needs HRMS / leaderboard / client portal alongside content
  • You want voice-preserved import + AI Search Visibility tracking

FAQ

Switching questions.

I rely on Frase's question research. Does ItzSEO replicate it?
Different approach. Frase pulls from PAA + competitor SERP questions. ItzSEO uses Claude to extract semantically relevant questions from the cited sources in your AI Search Visibility data. Output is comparable; methods differ. We don't replicate Frase's question research feature 1:1.
Is the Claude content output better than Frase's GPT?
For long-form (1,500+ words), yes — Claude's structural coherence beats GPT in our internal benchmarks. Short-form snippets are roughly tied. If you care about article quality vs templated AI output, Claude is the more honest choice.
Can I switch mid-month?
Yes. Cancel Frase, sign up here, import your content + keyword lists. Most teams switch in under an hour.
