What it is

Its remote MCP server and REST API are included on every plan, including free accounts. New signups receive one free report, and content scoring is free and unlimited. Paid plans start at $99 a month. Startup includes 30 content reports and five seats; Business starts at $349 a month with 100 reports and ten seats.
