Quick answer
An identity note first, because three homonyms are circulating: this review covers AutoSEO operated at getautoseo.com by Automated SEO OÜ (Estonia). It is neither the old autoseo.io (which redirected to a different tool), nor the G2 listing for "AutoSEO" that belongs to Semalt: don't import any reviews from those sources. The product sells simple editorial automation: 30 articles a month (1,500 to 2,500 words advertised), publishing to eleven CMSs or a hosted blog, images and infographics, and a link network expressed as cumulative "Domain Authority," for $149/month or $1,188/year, with a 3 day trial at $1. It suits a small single-site business that wants to publish without building a toolset. It suits you poorly if you refuse an exchange network or if the exit clause matters: a refund ends the licence on the delivered content and requires deleting it, which the terms state explicitly. Prices and clauses verified 17 July 2026, with no hands-on test; I run a competitor, SEOryon.
Key takeaways
- $149/month, or $99/month on an annual payment of $1,188; a 3 day trial at $1; refunds within 7 days monthly, 30 days annually.
- The decisive nuance: cancelling keeps a perpetual licence on the delivered articles; getting a refund extinguishes it and requires deleting the content.
- "5 to 10 links" and "100 DA per month" are marketing phrasings; the contract guarantees neither a number, nor a schedule, nor a placement.
- The terms are unusually explicit about the link network's risks: transparency to the vendor's credit, and a clause to read.
- Eleven CMS integrations plus RSS and a hosted blog: the broadest publishing coverage in the panel after Outrank.
Method for this review
Public pages captured 17 July 2026: home page and pricing, sign-up, terms, privacy policy, case studies, and the official WordPress plugin listing. No account opened; "not publicly documented" doesn't mean absent. Cluster method: the comparison of the six tools.
What AutoSEO genuinely does well
The proposition is readable: an initial diagnosis with no card, then a pipeline that analyzes more than 500 competitor terms per the commercial page, produces one long article a day with a custom image and infographic, and publishes to WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, BigCommerce, Duda, HubSpot, HighLevel, Lovable, or an RSS feed, with a hosted blog as a fallback if your CMS isn't covered. Scheduling, preview, editing, and approval before publishing are provided for: auto-publishing isn't mandatory.
The official WordPress plugin documents its behavior seriously: scheduled or real-time sync, manual review mode, default categories and author, metadata, API key. Its version log lists concrete fixes (sync duplicates, preservation of edits made in page builders, social metadata): as always, an honest changelog beats a smooth promise, and it tells you exactly what to test in staging before enabling anything.
Finally, the vendor deserves credit for something rare: its terms describe head-on the nature of the link network and the consequences of a refund, where others leave it vague. You may not like the rules; they are written down.
Verified prices and first year cost
Amounts displayed 17 July 2026, in dollars (symbol alone on the page).
| Plan | Price captured | Contents | Source and date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly | $149/month | 30 articles/month, "100 DA" backlinks/month, competitive analysis, priority support | getautoseo.com · 17/07/2026 |
| Annual | $1,188/year (presented as $99/month) | 365 articles/year, "1,200 DA"/year, VIP support, early access | getautoseo.com · 17/07/2026 |
| Trial | $1 for 3 days | Access presented as full; cancel before the fourth day | getautoseo.com · 17/07/2026 |
First year: 149 × 12 = $1,788 monthly, $1,188 annually; the annual commitment saves $600 but hardens your exposure to the exit clause (refund possible for 30 days, then nothing). Apparent cost: 149 ÷ 30 = $4.97 per article monthly, roughly 1,188 ÷ 365 = $3.25 annually. Watch the sign-up nuance: the initial diagnosis displays "no credit card," but that's the form step, not the paid $1 trial; tell the two apart before entering a payment. Your real cost includes review: the total cost calculator exists for that.
The link network: "100 DA" isn't a hundred links
The marketing page advertises 5 to 10 backlinks or mentions per month for a cumulative "100 Domain Authority." Three things to understand. First, adding up DA scores isn't a standard unit: two DA 50 links and ten DA 10 links give the same total for very different realities. Second, the terms specify that the links come from an exchange network and that number, schedule, and placement depend on availability and editorial fit: nothing is guaranteed, and the SEO risks are contractually transferred to the client. Third, the page advertises monitoring and replacement of lost links, with no terms in the conditions consulted. Google classifies excessive exchanges among its examples of link spam; apply the diligence for link platforms: ask for an export of real placements (domain, traffic, anchor, attribute, duration) before activating.
AI visibility: a production promise, not a measuring instrument
AutoSEO positions itself on discovery and recommendation by AI tools, with supporting scenarios. No public citation tracking module (question panel, repeats, history) was found in the pages inspected. The factual conclusion: AutoSEO sells production oriented toward Google and AI; it doesn't sell measurement of your presence in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. If that measurement matters to you, it will come from another tool.
Case studies and independent signals
The case studies publish two quantified files. AVIAN Care, over three months per the vendor: blog clicks from 13,400 to 19,800, impressions from 445,000 to 787,000, average position from 9.3 to 6.5, with 165 articles and 29 backlinks. GrowthGrid, over three months as well: 93 to 205 average daily visitors, 5,200 clicks, 133,858 words published, 15 backlinks. These are vendor accounts with screenshots: with no control group and no separation from other marketing actions, they prove examples exist, not a reproducible range of results. Another public inconsistency worth knowing: the home page claims 2,479+ client companies while the about page shows 500+; ask for the definition before citing either. On independent reviews, the WordPress listing had only two reviews (one alleging publications that continued after cancellation, the other judging the articles acceptable and the links unconvincing): two reviews don't estimate a frequency, but they point to the test to run in staging (key revocation, uninstall, no republishing afterward). The Trustpilot score will be added after manual recapture.
Cancelling or getting a refund: two very different exits
| Situation | What the terms provide (17/07/2026) |
|---|---|
| Simple cancellation | Effective at the end of the period; a worldwide, perpetual licence retained on the delivered articles; the links already built remain |
| Monthly refund | Request within 7 days of the first purchase |
| Annual refund | Request within 30 days |
| Effect of a refund | Mandatory deletion of all delivered articles, end of the licence, removal of the backlinks "as far as reasonable" within 30 days |
| Editorial responsibility | Review, fact-checking, and monitoring are the client's responsibility |
This is the panel's real contractual differentiator: "you own your content" is true in normal operation and conditional in the event of a refund. If you test AutoSEO on a production site and request a refund, you'll have to unpublish what went live. Test on a sandbox site.
An identity point to clarify before a company purchase: the data controller is Estonian (Automated SEO OÜ) while a section of the privacy policy describes itself as "UK-based" and cites British tax rules; the declared processors include Stripe, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Analytics, Matomo, and Mouseflow. Nothing indicates an irregularity; the contracting entity and the main place of processing simply deserve a written answer.
How SEOryon differs
AutoSEO optimizes for execution simplicity; SEOryon, which I build, optimizes for the content's defensibility. Concretely: topics selected to be winnable by your site (not a generic calendar), your expertise injected before writing, fact-checking and live source verification before publishing, and a visibility audit that actually queries ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, where AutoSEO promises the recommendation without measuring it. No link network at SEOryon, by choice: the only one of the six tools in the comparison in that position. And an exit with no trap clause: on cancellation, the account goes read-only, your data is retained, and your articles remain your business on your CMS; there is no scenario where SEOryon asks you to delete content. On the other side, let's acknowledge what AutoSEO offers and SEOryon doesn't: eleven CMSs against six plus a webhook, a hosted blog fallback, and an annual price at $99/month. SEOryon trial: 3 days, card required, €0 charged, 3 real articles published on your site; cancel before day 3 and you pay nothing. , or first compare the quality of AI writers.
Who it fits, who it doesn't
A good fit: a small single-site business, a supported CMS, frequent publishing wanted, internal review possible, link network accepted knowingly. To avoid: regulated sectors with no expert validation, brands refusing link exchanges, organizations requiring an SLA, multi-user roles, and attested security, and anyone treating a refund as a normal exit route: here, it takes the content with it.
FAQ
Is this the same AutoSEO as the G2 listing?
No. The G2 listing for "AutoSEO" identifies Semalt as the vendor and describes a different product; its reviews don't concern getautoseo.com. Likewise, autoseo.io redirected to a third party tool at the time of capture. Always check the domain: getautoseo.com.
Monthly or annual?
Monthly ($149) leaves 7 days for a refund and a flexible exit at month end. Annual ($1,188, meaning $99/month) saves $600 a year with 30 days for a refund, then none. Start monthly while you validate the quality on your site.
What does "100 DA" per month cover?
It's the sum of the Domain Authority scores of the domains providing the links, not a number of links. The page advertises 5 to 10 links or mentions; the contract guarantees neither volume nor schedule. Ask for examples of real placements before activating.
Can you review before publishing?
Yes: preview, editing, and approval are provided for, and the WordPress plugin offers a manual review mode. The important staging test: stop the sync, revoke the API key, and check that no publishing happens afterward, precisely the point raised by one WordPress review.
What happens after a refund?
The licence on the delivered articles ends and their deletion is required; the vendor removes or requests removal of the backlinks within 30 days as far as reasonable. A simple cancellation, by contrast, keeps the licence and the links. These two exits are nothing alike: choose knowingly.
