Clearscope keeps its focus narrow: it tells writers what a page needs to satisfy search intent and makes that guidance easy to follow. Essentials costs $129 a month and includes 50 tracked queries, 50 pages, 20 monthly discoveries and 20 monthly drafts, while Business at $399 a month raises tracked queries and pages to 300 and adds a dedicated account manager. Every plan includes unlimited users and projects, query tracking across ChatGPT and Gemini, brand visibility tracking, query fan-out data on the searches AI platforms trigger, free onboarding and priority support. There is a 14-day free trial and no minimum contract on monthly plans. The editor is among the easiest to hand to freelance writers, which is its main advantage. The cost per draft is high compared with Frase or NeuronWriter, and it does not write full articles for you the way agent-style tools do, so it suits teams that write in-house.
