How much does content production really cost?
Hiring freelance writers is the default for most blogs, but the math adds up fast. A single well-researched SEO article costs $50–150 from a competent freelancer, plus your own time briefing, reviewing and publishing. Scale that to 15, 50 or 150 articles a month and content becomes one of your biggest marketing line items. This calculator compares that freelance spend against an aithor subscription, showing your cost per article, your monthly savings and the hours you get back.
The comparison is simple: freelance cost = articles × cost per article, and the manual approach also consumes hours you could spend elsewhere. aithor generates and publishes SEO-optimized articles on a flat monthly plan, so your marginal cost per article drops dramatically as volume grows. The more you publish, the bigger the gap.
Why volume matters for SEO
Search engines reward fresh, topically-relevant content published consistently. The blogs that win organic traffic are the ones that can sustain output without burning their budget or their team. Automating production lets you cover more keywords, build topical authority faster and compound traffic month over month — without hiring an army of writers.
