Why freelancers cost 10x more for SEO content
You're paying $500—$1,500 for 5 blog posts on Upwork or Fiverr. WordCraft's purpose-trained SEO AI delivers the same volume — SEO-structured, keyword-targeted, and matched to your brand voice — for $19. No markup, no middleman, no scope creep.
Hard numbers
You don't need to guess what content costs anymore. A purpose-trained SEO AI publishes on autopilot for a fraction of a freelancer's per-post rate — no hiring, no briefs, no chasing deadlines.

The hidden costs of freelancers
The "low" rate on a freelancer profile never tells the full story. Between vetting, revisions, and churn, most businesses spend far more than they bargained for.
Stop overpaying — start WordCraftarrow_forwardTime spent vetting
Reading portfolios, interviewing, running test projects — that's 10—20 hours of your month gone.
Onboarding every time
Freelancers churn. Every new hire needs brand guidelines, topic briefs, and back-and-forth to understand your voice.
Missed deadlines
When a freelancer ghosts, you scramble. Meanwhile your publishing calendar goes dark and SEO takes a hit.
Platform fees & tips
Upwork takes 20%. Fiverr takes 20%. Plus clients often tip or pay rush fees — adding 30-50% to the 'listed' price.
One Upwork writer at $1,200/month is $14,400 a year. WordCraft's Growth plan delivers more posts, on schedule, for $480 a year.
That's the rest of your content budget freed up for the rest of your business.
