How to choose a blog automation tool
- Who reviews? If posts should not go live unread, look for drafts or a real approval workflow. Google recommends checking AI content by hand before publishing (our guide).
- Where do you publish? Check that your system is supported natively, not only through a webhook.
- How many sites and people? Plans differ a lot in sites, seats and posts per day.
- What does a post really cost? Convert credits or words into posts with images. Our blog cost calculator helps.
- Where is your data processed? For companies in the EU, ask for a data processing agreement.
How to set up the workflow itself is explained in our guide Blog automation: how to automate blog posts.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best blog automation tool?
There is no single best one. Tools focused on hands-off SEO automation add backlinks and many languages, writing tools focus on draft quality, and workflow tools focus on review and teams. Decide first who reviews posts and where you publish, then compare prices.
Is there a free blog automation tool?
Several tools have free plans or free allowances: Blog Automation (200 tokens per month), RightBlogger (2,000 words per month), auto-post.io (1,000 credits per month), Autoblogging.ai (10 credits per month) and Koala (one-time 5,000 words). n8n can be self-hosted for free, but you build the workflow yourself. Status: 11 November 2026.
Can blog automation tools publish to WordPress automatically?
