Clearscope
6/10Clearscope is a content optimization platform that grades and drafts SEO content, and tracks brand visibility in Google, ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude, for content marketing teams.
Data last updated November 2026 · Our methodology
Overview
Clearscope helps content teams plan, write and maintain articles that rank in Google and get mentioned in AI answers. The product has four modules. Discover finds the questions buyers ask search engines and AI tools, with volume, intent and the brands each engine already names. Track measures how often Google, ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude mention your brand or chosen competitors for each tracked query, and shows the answers. Write gives a live content grade and term recommendations while you draft, plus AI drafting and a Boost Content Grade function that fills gaps. Monitor connects to Google Search Console to follow each published page's grade, clicks and SEO value, and flags decaying content and striking-distance queries for refresh. Writers work inside Google Docs, Microsoft Word or WordPress through a sidebar. Shared draft links open without an account. Pricing is a flat monthly fee rather than per seat. Essentials costs $129 a month and Business $399 a month, and both include unlimited users and projects. Each plan caps tracked queries, inventory pages, discoveries and AI drafts, and you can buy more of each. Enterprise is custom priced and adds SSO, custom credits and crawler whitelisting. Self-serve plans are monthly, with no contract, and are paid by card. The tool suits in-house B2B content teams and agencies that publish regularly. Its main limitation is scope: it does not do backlink analysis, technical site audits or classic rank tracking, so most teams also pay for an SEO suite. It is also costly for solo writers, and only 20 AI drafts a month are included even on Business.

Who Clearscope is best for
Best software for Marketing TeamsGood fit
The whole product is built around content marketing work: briefs, optimized drafts, content refreshes and AI search visibility.
Customers it showcases, such as Webflow, Podia and Optimizely, are software companies running content-led growth.
Unlimited users and projects with shareable draft links suit client work, though usage caps and add-on costs grow with client volume.
The Enterprise plan adds SSO, custom credits, custom agreements and crawler whitelisting, and its logos include IBM, Adobe and Intuit.
Less suited
Writers praise the editor guidance, but reviewers say the $129 entry price is high for individual creators.
Reviews repeatedly point solo writers to cheaper tools such as Frase or Surfer because of the cost.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Users and projects are unlimited on every plan, so a whole writing team and its editors can share one subscription without per-seat fees.
- Writers get a live content grade and term guidance inside Google Docs, Microsoft Word and WordPress, so they do not have to switch tools. G2 reviewers rate it about 4.9 of 5, mostly for this ease of use.
- Track shows how often your brand is mentioned in Google, ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude answers for each query, alongside traditional SEO.
- Monitor uses Google Search Console data to flag decaying pages and striking-distance queries, and opens a page in the editor in one click for a refresh.
- Self-serve plans are monthly, with no contract, and come with free onboarding and training.
Cons
- The $129 a month entry price is high for freelancers and small teams, and reviewers often point them to cheaper tools such as Frase or Surfer.
- Only 20 AI drafts a month are included even on the $399 Business plan, and extra drafts cost $20 to $50 per 10.
- It does not do backlink analysis, technical site audits or classic rank tracking, so most teams still need an SEO suite such as Semrush or Ahrefs.
- No annual discount is published for self-serve plans. Annual invoicing is only available on custom plans.
- There is no public security, trust or compliance documentation, and SSO is only on Enterprise.
- Reviewers say AI drafts are a starting point that needs substantial human editing.
