What the month costs
Outrank and Rankbox are both SEO autopilots: they plan topics, write an article a day for one website, and include a member backlink exchange. Outrank's All-in-One plan is $99 a month, or $999 a year, for 30 articles its site describes as 1,200–1,700 words; Rankbox is $49.50 a month for 30 articles of about 2,750 words by default, and adds Reddit reply drafts. Outrank has the broader platform: native publishing to ten destinations including WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Wix, and Framer, measured keyword data, 150+ languages, and plans for 60 or 90 articles a month. Choose Outrank for native integrations, volume, or agencies. Choose Rankbox for the same daily cadence at half the monthly price.

Outrank facts from their own pages; Rankbox facts are what ships today. Every row and the sources are below.
Both are autopilots that plan, write, and ship an article a day. Outrank has spent longer building the platform around that loop. Rankbox charges half as much for the loop itself and adds Reddit.
The same loop, priced lower
AI SEO autopilot
Both write and ship an article a day. These are the three places where the choice changes what lands on your site.
AI engines quote forum threads constantly, and Reddit is the one they quote most. Outrank's pages don't mention Reddit. Rankbox finds the threads where your buyers are already asking, and drafts a reply in your voice for you to post under your own name.
Outrank's included exchange pays you credits for hosting other members' links, weighted by your Domain Rating, with no fixed number a month. Rankbox grants 30 credits every month on the paid plan, on top of what hosting earns, and a placed link costs 1 to 3 credits by the host site's tier.
