AutoSEO alternative for online stores: an honest comparison
AutoSEO is a low-cost autopilot tool for blog articles and network backlinks. If you run an online store and want product pages fixed, every article checked by a person and no link exchanges, here is how our AI Search Growth Plan compares, with sources for every fact.
Which one should an online store pick?
AutoSEO (getautoseo.com) is self-serve software: for $149 a month it writes 30 articles, publishes one to your site every day and adds backlinks from its network of other customers. The Seller Splash AI Search Growth Plan is a service run by people: from $499 a month (plus a one-time $500 setup) it publishes fewer, hand-checked articles, improves your product and collection pages, tracks whether AI engines name your store and builds no link networks. If price is the deciding factor and you only want blog posts, AutoSEO costs less. If your sales come from product pages and you want to stay clear of link exchanges, our plan is built for that.
AutoSEO vs the Seller Splash AI Search Growth Plan
AutoSEO facts come from its own public pages, read on November 1, 2026: the homepage, the pricing data the homepage loads, and its terms and conditions. Prices and features change, so check their site before you decide. We are a competing service, so read this with that in mind.
| AutoSEO (getautoseo.com) | Seller Splash AI Search Growth Plan | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Self-serve software that writes and publishes articles automatically | A done-for-you service run by a team, with a strategist on your account |
| Monthly price | $149 a month; $1,188 a year (shown as $99 a month); $29 a week | $499, $1,250 or $2,500 a month, plus a one-time $500 setup fee |
| Trial or first step | 3-day trial for $1. Its terms list a 7-day money-back guarantee on monthly plans, or 30 days where the checkout offers that instead of a trial | No trial. Start with the $99 audit, credited to your first month |
| Articles | 30 a month, one published to your site every day | 8 a month on Starter and Growth, 30 on Pro, each checked and edited by a person before it goes live |
| Product and collection pages | Not described on the pages we read | 5, 10 or 25 pages improved a month |
| Links | Homepage: "5-10 Monthly Backlinks & Mentions from other real small businesses" and "links from our other customers" | No link networks, swaps or bought links. Growth and Pro add outreach for earned mentions, no guarantee |
| Paid ads | Not described on the pages we read | Google and Meta ads check-ups on Growth and Pro |
| Platforms | WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, BigCommerce and more, per its homepage | Shopify and WordPress with WooCommerce |
| Cancelling | Cancel anytime with 1 click, per its homepage | Month to month, no long-term contract |
The backlink question
AutoSEO's homepage says each customer gets backlinks and mentions "from other real small businesses", described as "links from our other customers".
Google's spam policies define link spam as creating links "primarily for the purpose of manipulating search rankings", and list among the examples "Excessive link exchanges" and "Using automated programs or services to create links to your site". We are not saying AutoSEO's links break those rules or that any site using it has been penalized. We have no data on that. We are showing you how Google describes link exchanges and automated link building, so you can weigh the risk for your own store.
Our plan does not trade, buy or automate links. Growth and Pro include outreach for earned mentions on relevant sites, with no guaranteed placements.
Volume vs checked content
Thirty articles a month is a lot of content for the price. The question for a store is whether each one helps a buyer.
Google's scaled content abuse policy covers "many pages" generated "for the primary purpose of manipulating search rankings and not helping users", no matter how they are created. Using writing tools is not the problem. Publishing without a person checking facts, fit and usefulness is where the risk sits. That is why we publish fewer articles and a person checks every one.
Product and collection pages
On an online store, the pages that take orders are product and collection pages.
The AutoSEO pages we read describe blog articles and backlinks; we did not find product or collection page optimization described there. Our plan improves 5, 10 or 25 of those pages a month: titles, meta descriptions, answer-first copy and Product, FAQ and breadcrumb schema, so both Google and AI answers can understand what you sell.
When each option makes sense
AutoSEO may fit better if
- Your budget is under $499 a month
- You run a local or service business and mainly want blog posts
- You are happy to publish automatically and edit in a dashboard yourself
- You are comfortable with links that come from its customer network
Seller Splash may fit better if
- You sell products online on Shopify or WooCommerce
- You want product and collection pages improved every month
- You want a person to check every article before it goes live
- You want no link exchanges and a strategist you can email
- You also run, or plan to run, Google or Meta ads
How much does AutoSEO cost?
On November 1, 2026, the pricing data loaded by getautoseo.com listed $149 a month, $1,188 a year (shown as $99 a month), $29 a week, and a 3-day trial for $1 for US visitors. Its homepage also says the price will rise to $199 for new customers. Prices can change, so check getautoseo.com before you buy.
Is AutoSEO safe for my store's SEO?
We cannot tell you that either way, and we have no data on any site's results with it. What we can point to: AutoSEO's homepage says its backlinks come from its other customers, and Google's spam policies list excessive link exchanges and using automated services to create links as examples of link spam. Read both and judge the risk for your own store.
What is the best AutoSEO alternative for an online store?
It depends on what you need. If you want product and collection pages improved, a person checking every article and no link exchanges, our AI Search Growth Plan is built for that, from $499 a month plus a one-time $500 setup. If you mainly want the lowest monthly price for automated blog posts, an autopilot tool will cost less.
Is Seller Splash a software tool?
No. Seller Splash is a team. The AI Search Growth Plan is a done-for-you monthly service with a strategist on your account, billed month to month.
Can I start with something smaller than a monthly plan?
Yes. The Full AI Visibility Audit costs $99 and the Deep Growth Audit costs $249. If you then join the AI Search Growth Plan, the $99 is credited to your first month.
