UNRATED

Unrated — insufficient public disclosure.

Not enough public disclosure to rate yet — 4 of 5 procurement inputs are still unknown. This is a data gap, not a negative signal.

  • Compliance certifications

    No SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, or GDPR posture disclosed in our sources.

    to improve → Vendor publishes a trust/security page listing at least one certification.

  • Funding stage

    Funding stage not yet captured (may be a division of a larger public company).

    to improve → Mark parent company or public/profitable status.

  • Company age

    Founding year not yet captured.

    to improve → Add founding year to vendor profile.

  • Team size

    Team size band not yet captured.

    to improve → Add team size band (LinkedIn / vendor disclosure).

  • Data governance posture

    External processing: customer data is sent to vendor infrastructure.

    to improve → Offer a zero-copy or in-VPC deployment option.

Note — well-known brands often appear unrated because procurement-relevant fields (compliance certs, funding stage, team size band) haven't been captured yet. If you're on the Frase team, claim this profile to fill in the gaps.

  • perplexity/sonar4 days ago[✓] mentioned · rank 3

    prompt: Recommend the top AI tools for SEO Content Optimization. List 5 with one-sentence descriptions.

    Here are **5 top AI tools for SEO content optimization**: - **Surfer SEO** — Strong for real-time, SERP-based content optimization while you write, with guidance tied to patterns from ranking pages.[1][2][16] - **Clearscope** — Best for high-relevance content briefs and semantic SEO, especially for editorial teams that want a strict quality grade on drafts.[2][17] - **Frase** — Useful for fast SERP research and content brief creation, with quick intent analysis and question extraction before writing.[2][16] - **MarketMuse** — Best for topic modeling and broader content strategy, helping teams plan and prioritize content around topical authority.[2][16] - **Scalenut** — A strong all-in-one option for keyword-to-publish workflows, with added focus on AI search visibility and optimization.[3][12]

  • perplexity/sonar4 days ago[✓] mentioned

    prompt: What does Frase do? It is an AI tool in the SEO Content Optimization category. Include who it competes with, pricing model, and any notable customers. Be specific and factual.

    Frase is an **AI-powered SEO content optimization platform** that helps teams research topics, analyze top-ranking pages, draft content in a brand voice, score it for search performance, publish/host it, and monitor/fix pages over time.[1][2][7][11] It is positioned for **SEO teams, content marketers, and agencies** and is built to optimize for both traditional search engines and AI platforms/search experiences.[3][7][16] **What it does** - **Researches** a topic by reading what top results already cover and identifying gaps.[2][3] - **Drafts** content in your brand or team voice.[2][3][11] - **Scores/optimizes** content while you write for search coverage and SEO guidance.[2][11] - **Publishes and hosts** content, and can monitor and fix existing pages.[1][11] **Competitors** - **Surfer SEO** is the most direct competitor in the same SEO content optimization category; both tools analyze top-ranking pages and provide optimization scoring and keyword/content guidance.[15] - Other reviews and category descriptions place Frase alongside tools used for SEO content research, briefs, drafting, and optimization, but the clearest named direct competitor in the provided results is **Surfer**.[15] **Pricing model** - Frase uses a **tiered subscription model** with plan levels that vary by users, content volume/projects, and analytics/tracking limits.[4][6][8][14][17] - The provided results show multiple pricing snapshots from different reviewers, which indicates **pricing has changed over time**; the most recent review-style sources list plans such as **Starter, Professional, Scale/Advanced, and Enterprise**, with annual billing discounts and custom enterprise pricing.[4][6][8][14][17] **Notable customers** - Frase’s site and third-party review sources say it is used by **Microsoft, Oracle, Coursera, and GitLab**, and one review claims it is trusted by **50,000+ content teams**.[6] - Because that customer list appears in a review citing Frase rather than in the primary source excerpt itself, I’d treat those names as **reported customers** rather than independently verified case-study evidence from the results provided.[6] If you want, I can also give you a **one-line “Frase vs. Surfer vs. Clearscope” comparison**.

    prompt: What does Frase do? It is an AI tool in the SEO Content Optimization category. Include who it competes with, pricing model, and any notable customers. Be specific and factual.

    **Frase** is an AI-powered content marketing tool designed to streamline the SEO workflow from research to optimization. It uses machine learning to analyze search engine results pages (SERPs) and generate data-driven content briefs and articles. ### Core Functionality * **Content Briefs:** Automatically crawls the top Google results for a target keyword to summarize key topics, headers, and statistics. * **AI Writing:** Generates SEO-optimized drafts, product descriptions, and introductions using a proprietary AI model and OpenAI integrations. * **Optimization:** Provides a real-time "Topic Score" that compares a user’s draft against competitors, highlighting missing keywords and subtopics. * **Content Analytics:** Integrates with Google Search Console to identify pages losing rank that require updates. ### Competitors Frase competes primarily with other SEO content optimization platforms: * **Surfer SEO:** Its most direct competitor, focusing heavily on data-backed keyword density. * **MarketMuse:** A higher-end enterprise tool focused on content authority and topical clusters. * **Clearscope:** A premium tool known for its simplified user interface and high-quality NLP data. * **Jasper:** While primarily an AI writer, it competes in the content creation space (often via a Surfer SEO integration). ### Pricing Model Frase operates on a monthly or annual subscription basis. As of early 2024: * **Solo:** ~$15/month (1 user, 4 articles/month). * **Basic:** ~$45/month (1 user, 30 articles/month). * **Team:** ~$115/month (3 users, unlimited articles). * **Pro Add-on:** For an additional ~$35/month, users get unlimited AI-generated content and premium SEO data (search volume, backlink data). ### Notable Customers Frase is used by over 30,000 content teams and agencies. Notable clients include: * **Coursera** * **Digitas** * **Shopify** * **Meridian** * **ActiveCampaign**

    Frase is an **AI SEO and content optimization platform** that helps users research a topic, analyze top-ranking pages, draft content in a brand voice, score it for search, and publish it; Frase also positions itself around both **traditional SEO** and **AI search/GEO** workflows.[1][2][3][11] It is used as a workflow tool for: - **SERP and competitor research** - **Content briefs and outlines** - **AI writing and rewriting** - **Real-time content scoring/optimization** - **Publishing and hosting** - **Monitoring AI visibility and fixing content decay**[2][5][6][11] **Who it competes with:** Frase competes in the broader AI SEO/content optimization market with tools such as **Surfer SEO** and other SEO content platforms that provide SERP analysis, keyword/topic recommendations, and content scoring.[15][7][13] Frase is also compared with AI SEO and content optimization tools that cover similar drafting and optimization workflows.[9][19] **Pricing model:** Frase uses a **tiered subscription model**. Public third-party reviews and Frase’s own materials indicate a starting plan around **$49/month** for the entry tier, with higher tiers for teams/agencies and enterprise/custom pricing; some reviews show older or alternative plan names and lower starting prices, suggesting pricing has changed over time.[6][7][9][19] The safest current characterization is that Frase is sold as a **monthly subscription SaaS with tiered plans and enterprise pricing**.[6][7] **Notable customers:** I could not find a reliable public customer list in the provided sources. Frase’s own pages emphasize product features and use cases, but they do **not** name specific notable customers in the results supplied.[1][11][12] If you want, I can also turn this into a compact **buyer-comparison table** against Surfer SEO, Clearscope, and MarketMuse.

$ buyer_panel_verdict

full panel →

Synthetic buyer panel (CMO + RevOps + IT + Procurement) ranks Frase against the SEO Content Optimization category. Grounded in disclosed facts only.

#219/100

Frase ranks poorly as a 'pure wrapper' with no verifiable details on enterprise-critical criteria like integrations, data governance, or compliance, making it an unacceptable risk for the buying committee.

strengths
  • +Provides 'copilot' level functionality to assist content teams.
weaknesses
  • Functions as a 'pure_wrapper', indicating a less differentiated or defensible product.
  • Fails to disclose any integrations, pricing information, or compliance certifications.
  • Data is handled via 'external_processing' with an unknown retention period.
  • Vendor maturity is impossible to assess due to missing data.
