AI article writer built for SEO at scale

Reviewed by the the30top research team · Last reviewed 2026-10-27

Overview

Byword is built for bulk SEO content, charging by monthly article allowance. Starter is $99 a month for 25 articles, Standard $299 for 80 with API access and three seats, and Scale $999 for 300. Every account starts with 5 free articles and no card is needed. Extra articles cost $2.50 to $3.50 each, and output is aimed at volume rather than deeply edited thought leadership, so it still needs human review.
