Most AI SEO plugins rent you the AI. We don’t.
Spatz SEO runs on your own Anthropic key. You see every cost, set a daily spend cap, and pay Anthropic directly — no credits to top up, no markup, no model picked for you. Here’s how that one decision changes everything.
The real difference
AI you rent vs. AI you own
The metered model
Most AI SEO plugins resell you AI on credits. You buy a monthly allotment, watch it tick down, and top up when you run out. The plugin marks up the model’s cost and decides which model you’re allowed to use.
- Credits expire — pay again next month
- Marked-up token cost, baked into the price
- Hit the wall mid-task on a big site
The Spatz model
You bring your own Anthropic key. Every call goes straight from your server to Anthropic — nothing routes through us. You see the real cost (pennies per post), set a daily spend cap, and never hit a credit wall.
- Roughly $0.50–$2.00 to optimize 100 posts — one time
- You pay Anthropic’s published rate, with zero markup
- A daily cap makes spend strictly bounded

The honest part
What we won’t claim
The comparison only matters if we’re straight with you about the limits.
No ranking promises
No plugin can guarantee a position on Google — anyone who says otherwise is selling something. Spatz does the slow, repetitive, reviewable parts of SEO well, so the ranking work is yours to win.
Nothing auto-publishes
Claude drafts; you decide. Every suggestion lands with Apply, Edit, and Dismiss buttons. Nothing touches your live site until you say so — treat each one as a strong first draft, not a finished answer.
No lock-in
If your license lapses, the plugin keeps working exactly as before — you just stop getting updates until you renew. We don’t disable features on expiry. That’s anti-customer, and we won’t do it.
Your site is waiting. Ready when you are.
Install in under a minute. Break something? We’ll fix it together.
