### 3. Frase

Content platform that researches, drafts, optimises and publishes pages, then tracks AI citations.

**Research coverage:** 32/32 criteria

**Where it improves on Morningscore:**
- [Monitors AI answers: yes — AI Visibility is a first-class feature: it tracks brand mentions and cited URLs across AI engines daily and alerts when share of voice moves, and it is explicitly separate from the content-fixing feature.](https://www.frase.io/)
- [Publishes to your site: yes — Finished posts push live to four third-party CMSes or to the vendor's own hosted CMS, scheduled and with schema attached, and this is included from the entry plan upward.](https://www.frase.io/)
- [Technical AEO: yes — Pages published on the vendor's own CMS ship structured data and an llms.txt file automatically, including on its free hosting tier; on third-party CMSes schema is attached at publish time.](https://www.frase.io/pricing)

**Trade-offs against Morningscore:**
- [Done-for-you service: no — This is software agencies run themselves rather than a done-for-you service; the vendor stresses the top self-serve plan needs no onboarding call, with people attached only as an Enterprise account manager.](https://www.frase.io/pricing)

**Where it improves on Morningscore:**

**Trade-offs against Morningscore:**
- [Generates content: partial — Content Agents write new articles from citation data, but the entry Essential plan is sold with no article allowance at all; monthly AEO Articles start at five on Professional and ten on Business.](https://promptwatch.com/pricing)
