What BlogCraft costs.
Articles are priced by their finished length — 10 credits for a short one, 50 for a very long one. Titles, research, outlines, exports and publishing are all free.
An article is priced by how long it actually came out — not by what you asked for, and not by how many times you fiddled with the outline first. Everything around the article — the titles, the research, the outline, the SEO pack, the exports — is included.
The article price, by length
| Finished length | Cost |
|---|---|
| Up to 1,500 words | 10 credits |
| 1,501 – 2,500 words | 15 credits |
| 2,501 – 4,000 words | 20 credits |
| 4,001 – 6,000 words | 30 credits |
| Over 6,000 words | 50 credits |
That's the whole pipeline: the research, the writing, the AI-visibility pass, the FAQ and schema, the entity extraction and the scoring. One charge, at the end, once the article exists.
Quoted on the ceiling, charged on the result
Before it starts writing, ScoutRival checks your wallet against the top of the band you asked for. That's deliberate — it means a nearly-empty wallet is stopped before any AI work happens, rather than halfway through a 4,000-word article.
The actual charge lands afterwards, against the word count the article really came out at. So the number you're checked against and the number you pay are often different, and the one you pay is usually lower.
You're seeing the ceiling check. Ask for 2,500 words and the band runs to 2,650 — which sits in the next tier up, so you're checked for 20. Come in at 2,310 words and you're charged 15. Nothing is refunded because nothing was taken; the check is a check, not a hold.
Everything else in BlogCraft
| Action | Cost | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Re-tune a passage | 2 credits | Any of the eight rewrite operations, charged only on a real rewrite. |
| Regenerate a section | 2 credits | Rewriting one H2 section of the article. |
| Re-run the AI-visibility pass | 2 credits | The GEO pass — re-applies the answer block, citations and quotes across the whole body. |
| Regenerate the FAQ + schema | 1 credit | The FAQ card. Rebuilds the Q&A pairs and the JSON-LD in one call. |
| Regenerate the meta | 1 credit | The SERP preview card — a fresh meta title and description. |
| Design a visual | 2 credits | The image prompt for a thumbnail or an infographic. The render itself is billed by Compose. |
What you're never charged for
This list is longer than the one above, and that's the point. You pay for the writing, not for the thinking around it.
- Title suggestions — all five variants, with their character counts and the best-CTR pick. Regenerate them as often as you like.
- Keyword expansion — the secondary, long-tail and semantic terms.
- SERP research — what the current top results are doing, and the People Also Ask questions.
- The outline — including regenerating it, editing it, and reordering it.
- Entity scans — the Entities card and every re-scan.
- The Content Score — it recomputes locally as you type. Never metered.
- Re-optimize — the button that lifts a below-target article back into the band.
- Exports — HTML, Markdown, TXT and PDF, unlimited.
- Share links — creating, viewing and revoking.
- Publishing to WordPress — free, and there's no cap on it.
- Version history — saving, listing and restoring.
You can run the keyword, titles, SERP research and outline stages as many times as it takes, at zero cost. The meter only starts when you click Generate full article. Get the outline right first — it's the cheapest place to change your mind.
A worked example
You're writing a 2,500-word piece, and you polish it properly afterwards.

Four articles a month, treated like that, comes to about 100 credits — a tenth of Starter's monthly allowance, with the rest left for your daily briefs and audits.
