The free plugin on WordPress.org writes unlimited long-form articles and always will. Pro adds the research, the images, and the part that runs without you. Both plans start with a 7-day free trial — a card is collected up front, but nothing is charged until the trial ends, and cancelling before then costs nothing at all.

Each one is a module whose code is genuinely absent from the free download. Pro is a larger plugin, not an unlocked one — nothing in the free version is switched off waiting for payment.
The free plugin is not a trial and not crippled. There is no article cap, no credit meter, and no post type it refuses to write. Most of this table is the part you get either way.

Hosted AI-SEO platforms charge a monthly subscription and meter your output. Outrank’s All-in-One plan is $99 per month, or $999 per year, and includes 30 articles a month; 60 articles a month costs a further $85 per month. Those are their own published figures, checked 14 September 2026 at outrank.so/pricing.
| Outrank All-in-One | WSCG Pro | |
|---|---|---|
| Platform fee | $99 / month — $999 / year | ✓ $99 / year |
| Articles included | 30 per month, +$85/mo for 60 | ✓ Unlimited |
| Platform cost per article at 30/mo | About $3.30 | ✓ About $0.28, falling as you write more |
| Where generation runs | Their platform | ✓ Your own host |
| Your AI provider key | Not part of the arrangement | ✓ Yours, billed direct, never seen by us |
| If you stop paying | Access ends | ✓ The free plugin keeps writing |
The one cost that is not on this table is inference. A hosted platform builds its model spend into the subscription; we do not, because we never touch it — you connect your own AI provider in WordPress and they bill you directly, at cost, with no markup from us. Budget roughly $0.10–$0.50 per 2,000-word article with research and an image.
So at 30 articles a month, a first year on Outrank is about $1,188 in platform fees. The same year on WSCG Pro is $99 plus roughly $110 of your own provider spend — and there is no thirty-first article you have to pay extra to write.
Your AI provider connection stays yours either way — Waypoint SEO Content Generator uses the provider you have configured in WordPress, and your provider bills you directly. A Pro license covers the plugin, not inference. One site per license; the seat moves between sites but cannot be held on two at once. Questions before you start? support@waypointsoftwareusa.com.
