The trial is part of setup, and billing problems show at the top

Starting the 7-day free trial is now the last step of setup, and a banner at the top of the dashboard says when billing has paused writing and fixes it in one click.

Setup now has four steps: your brand, your keywords, your content plan, then the 7-day free trial. A card is required, so your first articles start writing as soon as setup ends instead of waiting for you to find the trial later.

If a card check or a payment fails, article writing pauses and a banner at the top of every dashboard page says so. Update the card from the banner and Rankbox checks it again, or pays what’s owed, the moment you come back.

One step, not a hunt
The trial used to start from the first Generate click. It’s now the last step of setup, with your plan and its projected traffic beside the card form.
Updating the card lifts the pause
Before, a new card didn’t re-run the $1 card check. Now it does, with your bank’s approval step in the page if it asks for one.
Writing stops when a payment fails
Manual writing, autopilot and the editor’s AI actions all pause from the first failed payment, and the banner shows the fix. Nothing you’ve set up is lost.
One free trial per account
Restarting a plan that has ended is $49.50 a month from the first day.

Rankbox now works inside 49 AI tools

Dashboard → Integrations is now a searchable library of 56 connectors, and every AI tool in it has its own public setup page with a live demo.

Rankbox’s research now works inside the AI tools you already use. Add one URL, https://rankbox.xyz/mcp, to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Lovable, n8n or any of 44 others, then ask for AI search questions, SEO content briefs and meta descriptions without leaving them.

Each connector opens its own setup steps, written with the menu names in that tool’s own docs.

56 connectors, one search
Five publishing platforms, the REST API and 50 MCP connections, grouped by category and searchable by name.
A page for every AI tool
Each has a public page with its setup steps and a Try it panel that runs real calls, three per visit.
Clear about the gaps
Tools that can’t add a remote MCP server without sign-in, such as Bubble and Webflow AI, are listed with the reason. Searching for one explains why instead of coming up empty.
Included with every plan
Connectors aren’t an add-on. The same URL works in every tool on the list.

Studio: run several sites from one account

Add more sites from your dashboard, each with the full plan of its own, for $49.50 a month on the same invoice.

Agencies, and founders with more than one brand, used to need an account per site. Now one login runs them all: switch sites from the top of the sidebar, and every page, report and schedule follows.

Each extra site is $49.50 a month and comes with 30 articles, 30 backlink credits and 30 Reddit replies a month of its own, plus its own research, content plan and publishing schedule.

Studio opens once your plan is paid. On a trial, you can start your plan early from the same screen.

One invoice
Every site is a line on the plan you already pay for, charged pro rata from the day you add it. Billing lists each site with its own allowance.
Links you can share
The site you’re on is part of the URL, so a link to a report opens on the right site.
Your sites stay separate
The backlink exchange never places a link between two sites you own, so your sites never read as one network.
Leave any time
Removing a site stops it renewing. It keeps working to the end of the period you’ve paid for, then it’s archived with its data kept.

A Rankbox plugin for Framer

Sync your Rankbox articles into a Framer CMS collection, add structured data to your site, and report where each article went live.

Coming soon. Built, and not installable yet: it goes live when its Framer Marketplace listing is approved. Until then, Framer sites publish through the API.

The plugin runs inside the Framer editor. Pick a collection and sync: your Rankbox articles become native CMS items you style like any other page on your site.

A full sync, every time
New articles are added and edited ones updated. An article deleted in Rankbox is removed only after a complete sync, so an interrupted run never deletes anything.
Structured data in the head
Adds site-wide JSON-LD to your site’s <head>, where crawlers that don’t run JavaScript can still read it.
Live URLs, reported back
Each article’s published address goes back to Rankbox, so the backlink exchange can verify the links inside it.
Slugs that don't move
An item keeps the slug it was first synced with, so renaming an article never breaks a live link.
Your key stays yours
Your API key is kept in your browser, never in the project file every collaborator can read.

A dashboard that leads with one next step

A regrouped sidebar, an Overview that opens with the one thing worth doing next, and a billing page that lists every site.

The Overview used to greet you with a stack of banners. Now it resolves them to one sentence and one button, whether that’s starting your trial, connecting your site or publishing your first article. A launch checklist underneath shows how far along you are, and it disappears once every step is done.

New navigation
The sidebar is regrouped around the work, with the site switcher at the top and the page you’re on as the one thing in blue.
Billing, per site
Plan & Billing lists every site with its own allowance, on the same invoice and card, with a way to add the next one.

Head-to-head comparisons, and six more AI engine guides

Side-by-sides of six pairs of tools we don't make, guides for six more AI engines, and rebuilt pages comparing Rankbox with the tools people switch from.

The new head-to-head comparisons put two tools side by side, such as Surfer SEO vs Clearscope and Semrush vs Ahrefs. Each names a winner for each use case, with pricing checked and dated. Rankbox appears once on each page, disclosed as a third option, and is never scored.

Six more engine guides
Microsoft Copilot, Grok, Meta AI, DeepSeek, Mistral Le Chat and Manus join the first five AI SEO guides: how each engine finds and cites sources, and what to change for it.
Alternatives, rebuilt
Nine Rankbox alternatives pages, each with dated, sourced pricing, and only the Rankbox features that have shipped.

Reddit Presence: answer the threads your buyers read

Rankbox finds the Reddit threads where people ask about what you sell, and drafts a reply for each one worth answering. You post it yourself.

Rolling out. In the dashboard for paid plans. Thread discovery is being switched on.

Reddit is where buyers ask each other what to use. Reddit Presence finds the threads about what you sell, scores them, and drafts a reply that answers the question before it mentions you.

Each draft uses one of 30 reply credits that come with the plan every month.

You post, we never do
Rankbox never posts to Reddit and never asks for your Reddit login. You post from your own account, paste the comment link back, and Rankbox checks it’s live.
Disclosure built in
Every draft carries a line saying you’re connected to your brand, and it can’t be removed.
Subreddit rules respected
Subreddits that ban self-promotion are skipped, however good the thread looks.
Only verified replies count
A reply counts toward your totals once its link is checked. One marked as posted without a link never does.
