Alt Text Pro

Alt Text Pro creates editable AI-assisted alt-text drafts for images in WordPress. Users can review and adjust generated text before saving it to the media library, and provide page context to guide the draft. The plugin can bulk-process existing images, while an API lets applications and websites use the service without WordPress. Supported image formats are JPEG, PNG, GIF, and WebP, and uploaded files may be up to 10 MB. Each successful generation uses one credit; failed requests do not use credits. The free plan includes 15 credits and a 150-credit signup bonus, both of which never expire. Paid monthly plans start at $4/mo. Plan capabilities include auto-generation on upload, bulk media-library fixes, post and page image workflows, WooCommerce workflows, context-aware generation, custom post type support, and multi-site workflows. Lite and Standard include email support. The privacy policy says data is encrypted in transit using HTTPS/TLS and passwords are securely hashed; documentation says images are processed through encrypted HTTPS connections and are not stored on the service's servers after processing.

Alt Text Pro focuses on drafting image alt text, with review before saving, bulk processing, and an API option. The free plan provides credits, while paid tiers add different workflows and credit allowances.

Alt Text Pro suits WordPress site owners who want editable image alt-text drafts, including users working through existing media in bulk. Its API may suit teams integrating the service into non-WordPress sites or applications.

Alt Text Pro is a WordPress-focused assistant for creating image descriptions while keeping an editor in the approval loop. It is best for site owners and content teams that need repeatable generation, and its API also suits developers working outside WordPress. The main decision is whether your image volume and required WordPress workflows justify its credit-based paid tiers.

Overview

Each successful image generation uses one credit, while failed requests leave credits untouched. Drafts remain editable before they are saved to the WordPress media library, so the service supports assisted writing rather than forcing generated wording into publication. Bulk processing addresses existing media-library backlogs, and page context can be supplied when a generic description would miss the image's role.

Uploads may be up to 10 MB. JPEG, PNG, GIF, and WebP are supported. Images travel over encrypted HTTPS connections and are not retained on the service after processing; the privacy policy also states that passwords are securely hashed and traffic is protected with HTTPS/TLS.

Key features

Reviewable WordPress workflow

The editable draft is the product's strongest editorial safeguard. Lite can generate automatically when an image is uploaded, but its single-image workflow is aimed at day-to-day publishing, not a large cleanup. Standard adds bulk fixes for the media library and workflows for images in posts and pages, making it the more suitable tier for maintenance work.

Context and integrations

Context-aware generation arrives with Pro and Agency. Pro adds WooCommerce workflows and custom post type support; Agency keeps those capabilities and adds a multi-site-friendly workflow. The WordPress plugin covers the CMS path, while the API lets an application or website without WordPress integrate generation directly.

Pricing

The Free plan costs $0 per month and includes the WordPress plugin, 15 credits, and a 150-credit signup bonus that never expires. It is a useful way to handle occasional images, but the recurring allowance is small for an active site.

Lite is $4 per month for 150 credits, auto-generation on upload, single-image processing, and email support. It fits a small site adding images steadily; it does not include bulk fixes. Standard costs $9 per month for 1,000 credits, bulk media-library fixes, post and page workflows, and email support, and is the sensible choice for regular remediation.

Pro is $14 per month with 2,000 credits, context-aware generation, WooCommerce workflows, and custom post type support. Agency is $19 per month for 3,500 credits plus a multi-site-friendly workflow, context-aware generation, and custom post type support. Paid subscribers can also buy a Small Credit Pack for $5 once, receiving 500 credits that never expire.

Annual billing reduces the monthly tiers by 10%: Lite annual is $43.20 per year for 150 credits per month; Standard annual is $97.20 for 1,000 per month; Pro annual is $151.20 for 2,000 per month; and Agency annual is $205.20 for 3,500 per month. Lite and Standard include email support, and subscribers can cancel from the dashboard.

Platforms

Alt Text Pro is available through its WordPress plugin, web service, and API. The API is the relevant route for non-WordPress applications, while the plugin supports publishing workflows inside WordPress.

Who it's for

Choose it for a WordPress publisher that wants human review, a team clearing a media backlog, or a developer embedding alt-text generation elsewhere. Pro and Agency make more sense when context, commerce, custom post types, or multiple sites matter. It is less compelling for very occasional use beyond the free credits or for projects that cannot work within a 10 MB upload limit.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Editable drafts preserve editorial control; bulk processing handles existing libraries; failed requests do not spend credits; API access extends the workflow beyond WordPress.
• Cons: Lite cannot process images in bulk; meaningful context and commerce features start at Pro; monthly credit allowances require close volume planning; uploads are capped at 10 MB.

Alternatives

Seeing AI is the straightforward choice for a free Android or iOS app rather than a WordPress publishing workflow.

AI Alt Text Builder suits web users who want a low-cost token plan or unlimited single-image generations with their own OpenAI API key.

Verdict

Alt Text Pro is a strong choice for WordPress teams that want AI speed without surrendering approval to an automated publisher. Standard is the practical starting point for substantial libraries, while Pro or Agency earns its price when context, commerce, custom post types, or multiple sites are essential. Look elsewhere if you need a broader device-native tool, a much larger free allowance, or workflows built around auditing rather than WordPress generation.
