As a solopreneur who has tested over 20 AI content creation tools, I’m always on the lookout for the next best thing in the industry. My quest has led me to a tool that’s been on my radar for a while: AgilityWriter.ai. It’s a platform that has managed to grab my attention and hold it, owing to its unique blend of features, performance, and pricing.
To provide some context, I’d categorize AgilityWriter.ai as a frontrunner in the game of AI content creation, ranking second just under SEOWriting, and a notch above Koala in terms of both pricing and output quality. I refrain from saying it’s the ‘best’ as my assessment only encompasses a limited array of articles.
Now, let’s delve into the nitty-gritty of what makes AgilityWriter.ai stand out in an increasingly crowded marketplace.
Pros
Pros of AgilityWriter.ai:
- Engaging Articles: The articles created by AgilityWriter.ai, particularly with the use of GPT 4, are engaging and substantive. This is a crucial feature for any AI writing tool, and AgilityWriter.ai does not disappoint.
- Strong Outlines: AgilityWriter.ai has a unique feature that allows you to prompt the creation of an outline. This feature is particularly useful and saves significant time in structuring content.
- Clear Presentation of Facts: The tool does an excellent job of laying out the facts clearly, making it easy for readers to comprehend the information.
- YouTube Videos: The tool can embed YouTube videos, offering more richness and depth to the content.
- Internal and External Links: The tool automatically adds internal and external links, which can significantly enhance the SEO value of the articles.
- Less Repetition: Unlike many other tools, AgilityWriter.ai manages to avoid repetitive introductions and conclusions between H2s.
- Feature-Rich: Compared to SEOWriting, AgilityWriter.ai has more features already rolled out, while the former is still in its roadmap phase. This suggests a more efficient team behind AgilityWriter.ai.
However, like any other tool, AgilityWriter.ai isn’t perfect. Here are a few areas where it could improve:
Cons
Cons of AgilityWriter.ai:
- Pricing: AgilityWriter.ai is relatively expensive, costing three times more than its GPT 4 competitors. While it offers slightly better quality, the pricing is still a barrier for some users.
I personally prefer paying an editor over a 10 cents AI article: it’s still cheaper.
For example, a GPT 4 SEO-optimized article will cost you between 5 and 6 credits: which means around $3.5 to $4 per article on the $88 / month plan. - External Links in Early Paragraphs: The tool sometimes includes external links in the first few paragraphs of the articles, which could distract readers.
- Lack of Formatting Options: The tool could benefit from adding more formatting options like quotes, bullets, and tables.
- No Option for Personal GPT Keys: At the moment, there’s no option to use personal GPT keys, which could be a turn-off for some users.
And here are a few areas where it matches up equally with other tools:

Equals:
- FAQ: Just like other platforms, AgilityWriter.ai could improve its FAQs by addressing new questions instead of repeating the text.
- Good NLP Optimization: The tool offers satisfactory Natural Language Processing (NLP) optimization, ensuring the content is SEO-friendly.
- Support: The customer support at AgilityWriter.ai is commendable, responsive, and helpful.
- No ‘Brand’ Voice: Just like most other AI writing tools, AgilityWriter.ai doesn’t offer a distinct ‘brand’ voice.
Other Info
Finally, I had a few questions for the owners of AgilityWriter.ai, which they kindly answered:
- Black Friday or Lifetime Sale: When asked about potential sales, the team highlighted that a yearly plan with bigger discounts is coming soon. However, a lifetime sale is not feasible due to the high cost of each article generation, given that they use 4-5 other APIs per article.
- Bulk Advanced Mode: When asked about the ‘Optimized’ option in Bulk Advanced Mode, the team confirmed that it’s automatically optimized with SERP keywords for each heading.
- NLP Extraction Process: Regarding the NLP extraction process, AgilityWriter.ai uses a custom solution alongside GPT. They are also testing a better API to further improve this process.
- Custom Instructions: The section where you can add header instructions supports both data and custom instructions.
- Future Plans: When asked about the inclusion of Scholar, News, and YouTube videos as sources, the team informed me that a ‘YouTube to blog post’ feature is releasing soon, with other sources to follow.
So, there you have it – an in-depth review of AgilityWriter.ai. It’s a robust tool that offers a blend of unique features, decent quality, and relatively affordable pricing, with room for improvement in some areas. As I continue to explore and test this tool, I am excited to see how it evolves and improves in the future.
