Two bets about volume
The scale bet is reasonable and it sometimes pays: publish a great deal, accept that some of it is mediocre, and let the winners carry the rest. It needs cheap text, bulk runs, and a tolerance for pages you have not read. Byword's own positioning — an AI article writer for SEO at scale — is a clear statement of that bet, and tools built for it do it better than PrismDraft will.
PrismDraft's bet is the other one. Every article starts from a topic suggested by reading your own website, with a primary keyword and a search intent attached. The outline is proposed, edited and approved before a word of prose. The draft is written section by section against that outline, with an image generated from the paragraphs each one sits beside. The article then waits in Needs review, and only an approved article can be published. The cost is quoted before the run and nothing is charged for a failure.
That is slower per page and it is meant to be. The question to ask yourself is whether you would be comfortable with every page on your domain being read aloud to a customer. If the answer is no, a gate is not bureaucracy.
- Scale tools optimise for cost per thousand words. PrismDraft optimises for pages you would put your name to.
- PrismDraft has bulk runs and an optional Autopilot, but review is the default and approval cannot be skipped.
- Neither tool can promise rankings, and PrismDraft does not track them.
What PrismDraft does instead of a bulk queue
- 01
Your website
The project, the brand voice and the image style are drafted from your own pages, so the articles sound like your site rather than like a template.
- 02
Topics, with intent
Suggestions arrive with a working title, a primary keyword, a search intent and a cluster, and will not repeat a keyword the project already covers.
- 03
An outline to argue with
A heading per section with its purpose, its keywords and a target length. Free to generate, free to change, and the thing the draft is written against.
- 04
A run you priced first
About 7 credits for 1,200 words and three images. The estimate is shown, reserved, then settled, and anything the run did not deliver comes back to your balance.
- 05
An approval that is a real gate
Needs review, with versions, comments, hand edits and AI edits. Publishing is unavailable until someone approves the version in front of them.

Twelve topics, one at a time
A commercial cleaning company's website goes in. The suggestions are specific to what the site says it does, and each is picked deliberately rather than queued.
The outline for the cost comparison
The comparison a reader actually wants is a method, not a verdict. The outline is where that decision gets made, before the prose commits to it.
- H2The costs people compare, and the ones they forgetSet up the real arithmetic before any totals.
- H2In-house: what you are really buyingWages, cover, equipment, management time.
- H2Contracted: what you are really buyingThe specification, the supervision, the insurance.
- H3Where contracts go wrongBe specific and fair; this earns trust.
- H2A worked example for a 40-desk officeConcrete numbers the reader can adapt, with assumptions stated.
- H2How to decide for your buildingA short decision procedure, not a sales close.
An outline costs no credits, which is why it is the step to argue with. The draft is written against the headings you approved, section by section.
Questions
Can PrismDraft produce articles in bulk?
Yes. Several runs can go at once, and a publishing plan can be put on Autopilot so its entries are written, approved and published on their day, up to the plan's credit cap. The difference is that bulk is a choice you make, not the default shape of the tool.
How much does a PrismDraft article cost?
About 7 credits for 1,200 words with three images, shown before the run starts. Plans include an allowance each month — 150 credits for €29, 450 for €79, 1,400 for €199 — and top-up packs add credits that never expire.
Why does PrismDraft not do web research?
Because doing it badly is worse than not doing it. PrismDraft writes from the brief, the outline and the context you gave it, and leaves out a claim it cannot support rather than attributing one to an invented source.
What stops me publishing something I have not read?
The product does. An article is published only from the approved state, and the approval applies to the version in front of you. If you edit afterwards, you approve again.
Is there an API?
Yes — a documented REST API with workspace-scoped keys, a typed SDK, and signed outbound webhooks for publishing events. The reference lives at /sdk.
Does PrismDraft work for a French site?
The interface is English and French, articles are written in a project's languages, and an approved article can be translated into the project's other languages.
