I took Frase.io for a spin, I've been a huge fan for a long time, but I thought it was time to make a review. I must say I enjoy using it, and I've been able to rank numerous articles number one. Watch my review of Frase here: https://phillipstemann.com/frase-io-review-rank-your-content-on-google/
I took on this deal thinking about content analysis and how Frase could assist giving me a quick overview on what others are writing about similar subjects. It does this part of the job as promised.
With the introduction of the 'SEO-addon', this product however has turned into crippleware. Almost all functionality is blocked by an annoying popup to get the SEO-addon.
I do understand that the deal on AppSumo did not include all features of the AI-rewrite, but why not simply hide all buttons that we cannot utilize? Oh - I know - it is to put it right in our face that we should pay a monthly fee to not be annoyed with clicks on non functional buttons that trigger a popup.
Then the next iteration - proudly presented with a video - Frase can now generate content from your outline. Hit that button - it thinks a long time and then... oh jay.. again that popup. Okay.. so what about the original functionality.. it is gone from the shortcut menu, we now need to click on the 'AI writer' menu (which as per above is NOT functional) and then click on 'templates' to find parts that do work. UI joke.
So the short of it - Frase does what I wanted it for, but it is an UI trap with buttons leading to upsell their 'SEO addon' (which includes the AI-writer). Not impressed. Please rethink the UI so it works just as well for a workflow without the SEO addon as with it.
Had Frase for literally almost a year now yet today I get an email stating my codes are NOT legitimate and they will either delete them, or I can buy their SEO add-on and continue using it.
What? That’s so sneaky. We purchased directly from appsumo so why on earth they’d think our codes are fake I don’t know. Seems more like a scare tactic to force an upgrade to their Seo add on if you ask me.
Bought this ages ago (I work in SEO for big media company, but bought it for my personal and much smaller website) suspecting I'd need it at some point...and then promptly forgot about it. (FOOL!)
Anyway - I recently remembered I'd bought it (needed to do some research and dimly recalled that Frase did this sort of thing) and BY GOD it's brilliant. Could have saved me so much time if I'd used it sooner...but even today it's spared me so much strife. Really does the legwork in terms of content research. They've added loads of features since I bought it and it was already ace.
Total bargain. Don't waste any more time...buy Frase!
If you need to write SEO-friendly content (and who doesn't?) then this will save you so much time. I say that as someone who has quite a lot of experience with this sort of thing...even if you're good at search optimisation (or especially?) this is a Godsend.

Bait and switch? Fraud? What’s going on?!
