The short answer

Frase is capable at turning one topic into an optimized article, but MaxPage gives you a broader SEO operating system around that work. It combines keyword and competitor research, YouTube and Amazon opportunities, evidence-led planning, controlled AI spending, team workflows and a complete WordPress SEO toolkit. Choose MaxPage when you want to decide what deserves to rank, create it in your voice and manage the page after it reaches WordPress—without assembling the rest of the workflow yourself.

Pricing context

Frase: Starter costs $49/month, Professional $129/month, and Scale $299/month when billed monthly. Annual billing lowers the effective monthly prices to $39, $103, and $239. Enterprise pricing is custom.

MaxPage Starter $19.99/month 4,000 pooled credits, upto 2 people

MaxPage Team $99/month 20,000 pooled credits, upto 10 people

MaxPage Agency $299/month 60,000 pooled credits, upto 50 people

Every MaxPage plan includes the full toolkit and AI workflows. You see the ceiling before each AI run and pay only for the work completed.
