SEO.AI sells one thing and says so plainly: "AI SEO - done for you by an AI agent", running "on autopilot", with "Fresh new pages go live every week" and a listed price of $149 per month for a single site. Vibrant Media sells seven named specialists — blogger, SEO, SMM, designer, analyst, link builder and a chief manager — for $199 a month on Team, and it will not put a single word on your site until you click approve. That click is the whole difference. Everything else on this page is detail around it.
Hire SEO.AI if the outcome you want is pages appearing on your website every week without you in the loop, in one of 50+ languages, with Google Ads handled in the same subscription. Hire the AI team if you want articles, social posts, images, directory outreach and a labelled evidence report from your own Google accounts — and if a machine publishing under your name without a human reading it first is a line you do not want crossed.
What both actually do
Both point large language models at search traffic, and both publish into a CMS you already own. The overlap is real and it is most of the job.
| What both do | How it works here | How it works there |
|---|---|---|
| Plans what to write | Chief manager returns a content plan from your brief | "Content recommendations & Publishing Plan" |
| Writes SEO articles | AI-Blogger writes from the saved brief; AI-SEO sets the target | "Writes algorithm-aligned pages and articles" |
| Publishes into your CMS | WordPress, Shopify and Ghost through their own APIs | "Publish straight to your website" |
| Builds links | Directory listings and outreach, one approval at a time | "Backlinks from real non-spammy websites" |
| Watches how it performs | Analyst reads your Search Console and GA4 | "Monitors performance" |
| Aims at AI answers too | The readability gate checks an assistant can parse the page | "Targets Google and ChatGPT visibility" |
Where SEO.AI wins
Twice the CMS coverage
SEO.AI's site names WordPress, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify and Magento. We hold real publishing adapters for three destinations: WordPress, Shopify and Ghost. If your site is on Webflow, Wix, Squarespace or Magento, we have no integration for it and no plan to fake one.
Vibrant Media: three API destinations; everything else is a hand-off.
It is built to run with nobody watching
"SEO.AI does SEO on autopilot." "Set it once. SEO keeps running by itself." "Fresh new pages go live every week." That is their published description of the product, and it is a capability we deliberately do not have: publishing here is gated on a human click, the auto-publish flag defaults to off, and we do not offer to turn it on.
Vibrant Media: if nobody approves this week, nothing ships this week.
50+ languages against our one
"Works across 50+ languages", with 39 named on the homepage. We ship English only — the product, the roles and the gates are all built for English-language markets.
Vibrant Media: English, and no second language behind a setting.
Paid search is in the same subscription
SEO.AI's pricing page lists "Builds and optimizes Google Ads" inside the $149 plan. We do not run paid advertising at all: no ad accounts, no budgets, no bidding, on any plan.
Vibrant Media: organic only, by design.
Link exchange and Domain Rating tracking
SEO.AI's pages list "Automatic link exchange" and "Track your Domain Rating" alongside backlink building. Our link builder does directory listings and outreach pitches that arrive as drafts you approve one at a time, under a policy of no private blog networks, no forum spam and no paid links — so link exchange is not something we do.
Vibrant Media: slower by construction, because every pitch waits for a person.
Three sites or languages on one plan, and a trial
Multi Site is listed at "$299 /per month" for "Up to 3 websites or languages", and the header offers "Try 7-day trial". SEO.AI's prices are listed as excluding VAT, with "Save 25% with annual payment". We run one office per account, one brand, no trial period anywhere in the product.
Vibrant Media: one business per subscription.
Where the AI team wins
Nobody publishes in your name until you click
Approval is not a setting here. The publishing gate defaults to refusing unattended publication, the article pipeline carries the same default, and the compliance page states it in one line: nothing is published until you approve it. A draft sits in the queue until a person reads it.
SEO.AI: their own pages describe publishing on autopilot, once a week, without you.
Seven named roles, not one contour
Team and Scale run a blogger, an SEO, an SMM manager, a designer, an analyst, a link builder and a chief manager. That means the month contains social posts and images, not only articles: 20 articles, 60 social packs and 80 images on Team; 50 articles, 200 images and 200 social packs on Scale.
SEO.AI: their pages describe pages, articles, backlinks and Google Ads.
Six gates read the draft before you do
Facts, brand voice, SEO, policy, self-repetition against your earlier work, and machine readability. They run before the draft reaches your queue and they fail closed — an unparseable verdict or a network error means the draft does not pass. Unqualified medical, legal and financial advice is blocked outright.
SEO.AI: not something we found stated on their public pages.
Every number is labelled by where it came from
The analyst pulls Search Console and GA4 and stamps each figure with its source: GSC, GA4, internal, or estimate. With no Google connection it prints "no data yet" and "Google not connected" instead of a number. It is not allowed to present our own estimate as a measurement.
SEO.AI: "Monitors performance" and "Track your Domain Rating".
The limits are printed before you pay
Every plan states its monthly caps — articles, images, social packs, team requests — and the server enforces them: the 51st article on Scale is refused, not silently billed. Signing up costs nothing and takes no card; the free account sets up the office and does not run the models.
SEO.AI: the pricing page lists features per plan; article, word or seat allowances are not listed on it (checked 2026-09-07).
What shipped stays yours
Each published piece is kept with its live link, a copy of the page as it went live, and the run that produced it — which model, which prompt version. Everything exports as JSON, and the pages themselves are on your own domain.
What it costs
Our figures come from our own plan catalog. Theirs are quoted as listed on their pricing page on 2026-09-07; their page states prices exclude VAT and that annual payment saves 25%.
| Plan | Price | What is listed |
|---|---|---|
| Vibrant Media — Solo | $49/mo | AI-Blogger + Chief Manager, 12 articles/mo, 1 channel, evidence feed |
| Vibrant Media — Team | $199/mo | 7 specialists, 20 articles, 60 social packs, 80 images, all 12 channels |
| Vibrant Media — Scale | $499/mo | 50 articles, 200 images + 200 social packs, 2,000 team requests |
| SEO.AI — Single Site | "$149 /per month" | AI agent, publishing plan, articles and pages, backlinks, Google Ads, human support |
| SEO.AI — Multi Site | "$299 /per month" | "Up to 3 websites or languages", "All the same features as the single website plan" |
Signing up here is free and takes no card. SEO.AI's header offers a "Try 7-day trial".

When not to hire us
- Nothing goes out without a person clicking publish. If the point of buying software is that pages appear while you sleep, this is the wrong product — the approval gate is not a setting we expose.
- Nine of the twelve channels are a hand-off, not an integration. Medium, Telegram, LinkedIn, X, Pinterest, Reddit, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok: we write the post and a step-by-step checklist, and you post it from your own account.
- We do not run paid ads. No ad accounts, no budgets, no bidding. If Google Ads is part of what you are buying, it is not part of what we sell.
- We do not shoot photos or video. Images are generated; nobody here films anything.
- English only, one brand per account. Multi-language and multi-site work is outside what this product does today.
- Proof needs a connection. Rankings and traffic come from your Search Console and GA4. Without them connected you get published work and no evidence, and the report says so instead of showing a number.
How to choose
| If you need… | Choose | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Pages going live weekly with nobody in the loop | SEO.AI | Their product is described as autopilot; ours requires a human click |
| Webflow, Wix, Squarespace or Magento | SEO.AI | We hold adapters for WordPress, Shopify and Ghost only |
| Content in a language other than English | SEO.AI | "Works across 50+ languages"; we ship English |
| Google Ads inside the same subscription | SEO.AI | Their $149 plan lists it; we do not run paid advertising at all |
| Three websites on one plan | SEO.AI | Multi Site lists "Up to 3 websites or languages"; we run one brand per account |
| A guarantee that nothing publishes without your click | Vibrant Media | The publishing gate defaults to off and is not exposed as a setting |
| Social posts and images alongside the articles | Vibrant Media | AI-SMM and AI-Designer are part of Team and Scale |
| Numbers you can trace to their source | Vibrant Media | Every figure is stamped GSC, GA4, internal or estimate |
| Monthly limits printed before you pay | Vibrant Media | Article, image and social caps are published per plan and enforced server-side |
| Link building where you approve each pitch | Vibrant Media | Directory listings and outreach drafts wait in your queue |
| A website, a photo shoot, or video | Neither | Neither product builds sites or films anything |
| One article this month | Neither | At that volume no subscription here pays for itself |
Closing
If you want search traffic produced without your attention, SEO.AI is describing exactly that, at $149 a month for one site as listed on their pricing page. If you want a content team whose work reaches your blog, your social channels and your directory listings only after a person has read it — and a report that will admit when it has no data — that is what $199 a month buys here. Both answers are defensible; only one of them is what you actually asked for.

Common questions
How much does an AI marketing team cost per month?
Vibrant Media costs $49 a month on Solo, $199 on Team and $499 on Scale. Solo includes 12 articles a month, Team 20, and Scale 50, so an article works out at $4.08, $9.95 and $9.98 respectively.
Who approves the content before it goes live?
You do. Every draft waits in Approvals on your Results screen, and approving it is the action that publishes it. There is no setting on any plan that turns unattended publishing on.
Where does an AI marketing team publish?
Into channels you already own. Three of the twelve have a real publishing adapter — WordPress, Shopify and Ghost — and the other nine arrive as a finished pack with a checklist that you post yourself, so no password for them is ever asked for.
How do you prove the work produced results?
From your own Google Search Console and Analytics, read by the analyst role. Without those two connected you get published work and no evidence, and the product says so rather than showing an invented number.
What is SEO.AI?
SEO.AI describes itself as "AI SEO - done for you by an AI agent" running "on autopilot". Its pricing page lists Single Site at $149 a month and Multi Site at $299 for up to three websites or languages (checked 2026-09-07), and its feature list includes publishing straight to WordPress, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify and Magento.
The plans and what each one includes are on the pricing section of the site. For a different kind of alternative, the comparison against Sintra AI covers the other side of the same choice.
