Frase Reviews

I have been using Frase for several years, 2 weeks ago Frase started crashing everytime I scan a document.
This means that the research, outline, optimize and links modules no longer work, rendering the tool useless.
I've sent several support tickets, but only got a short response a few days ago saying that they were looking into it, nothing since.
Customer service used to be quite good, but I guess things change.

I purchased a deal that was supposed to include all future updates, but it turned out to be a beta version "https://beta.frase.io". To switch to the fully supported version "https://app.frase.io", my plan was downgraded:

From 3 users to just 1 user.
From unlimited AI-generated words to only 4,000 words.
This feels like a bait-and-switch, and the experience has been extremely disappointing.

Excellent tool, user friendly, would definitely recommend!

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.

I've been using this for the past few months and the results have been great. I do use it with new blog posts sometimes, but mostly I've been using it to update older posts. I can almost always improve a posts ranking and traffic with the help of Frase.

The tool is very easy to use and the team is highly engaging - constantly releasing valuable content and highly responsive when reached out to.

Easily one of the best SEO tools I’ve ever used.

We implemented Frase in our Content Team and it improved our workflow by a ton!

Until we discovered Frase we spent at least an hour (probably closer to 2) for every article - researching other articles to a topic, best practices in that field and which topics our competitors were working with in their content. Now we just do our keyword research or check our content plan and get to writing right away.
We've also used Frase to optimize our existing content and really saw our ranking improve.
As a young startup (celebrating our first birthday in two weeks) it's all about productivity and seeing fast results.
Frase allowed us to not only optimize our workflow but also improve the quality of our content!

It's basically a no-brainer at this point, go get it.

Look for the replay of the Tips & Tactics implementation webinar - time well spent to learn how to max this amazing tool. Start with research, Question Ideas - use to ID longtail KW and KWP high intent queries this brings high-value visitors to your site. enter TOPICs, not keywords. Check out the guides https://Frase.io/guides/content/ - for a ton of how-to videos.

Great way to get a ton of content info. Put in your search, keywords or title, and get the top content that appears on Google. Sure you could go find this all yourself -- but this is much faster. Definitely worth a LTD price. I'm probably barely using the features but it's great for me just for this alone.

Can see that Frase has a lot of potential and that it will improve better in the future. Its easy to use and comes really helpful in what it does to minimize workload.

When I first saw the deal, I was excited and got one code for use for the content aspect.

I jumped on and then was immediately disappointed: The content section looked intimidating

I then discovered a use case which made even more sense for me: Using it to index and crawl support sites for platforms we use, mainly wordpress plugins.

I then had my Aha moment!

This is fantastic for us as an agency as our own support team spends so much time on 3rd party plugin support sites, looking for help and answers. This really has saved me time from the just testing it today.

Even though the deal is over, I'm adding my review that it is well worth the 4 tacos and the $79 we spent on it (not yet a 5 taco review as they have us on a basic plan and limits, even with the Appsumo code added and waiting to see if they resolve this). I do wish I had tried it sooner before the deal expired as I would have bought the double code.

@Matt_Hurley: This is a really great product and looking forward to seeing where it goes. One suggestion: for non-power users like me, it would be great to have 'templates' based on the use cases referenced on the site.

I know we may be too small to consider adding this type of feature but I really do think it could increase the product engagement by all levels of users and org sizes.

Un pago y listo. ¡Geníal!

Si eres de los que tiene contenido antigüo que requiere un retoque. ¡Una maravilla! La configuración es maravillosa. He probado algunas. No sé si las habrá con más cosas, pero contiene todo lo que necesito.

Updates Frase.io released 12.09 have made its impressive tech that was difficult to use in my workflow into a tool set I'll take advantage of throughout my week. Notes from my initial usage (11.25-29) included

* Integration and ingesting activity metrics from gSearchConsole was straightforward and Frase surfaced interesting phrases and concepts quickly.
* Pulling in content via URL highlighted more, and adding suggested terms and phrases from the right rail tools is handy.
* The content brief template is a very good starting point and I look forward to additional templates.

Until the latest updates, the editor itself was awful to use in Safari: adding to templated content was messy, default formatting was ugly to look at and clunky to use w/r/t line spacing and no straightforward ability to do topic hierarchies other than explicitly applying headings which was ugly and clunky.

Work the Frase.io team did to enable topic highlighting seems to have cleared up many of these issues, and Firefox support lets me use my preferred browser which works with Zotero research tools and Multi-Account Containers.

Never use anything like this before, this is my first time, and I hate to deal with extensive research using manual way because it's really time consuming. Frase.io helps a lot when it comes to this, and this is my first time using something like Frase. Love what I see, and of course, thanks for the great deal too!

This app is seriously hobbled. They give you very basic access and most of the things you need from this app require a subscription upgrade of $45/month. I'll keep going for now but this product will probably be one I refund before the 60 days are out. Pretty lame, not in keeping with the whole idea behind AppSumo.

I just got the deal of a lifetime. I bought the 3 user, unlimited documents plan, and while I’m no techie, once I get past the learning curve it’s going to be clear sailing. Imagine having your own ai assistant. If you don’t know what that means, think of having an office with 100 admins doing research for you 24/7. Non paid, take no breaks, no vacations. All you have to do is create your content. Output is going to increase straight up to the moon and back. I just started tackling the learning curve. If I can do it, anybody can. Congrats Frase. Congrats to your entire team from a happy customer.

First of all, I want to congratulate the frase.io team for coming up with this great tool and a great deal. Though I like this tool and compared some content briefs across platforms like clearscope, surferseo and frase, I didn't see any difference,frase matched to them 90% of the time.but but there are a few bugs I would like to mention.
First, The full access link of the content editor was not working later it was fixed.
Second, To get a clear and precise brief you need to select the content sources but the issue with frase is , it doesn't save the content source once you have selected certain sources and saved it. But the next time you open the document you will find the default the sources. Its a real pain to select the source everytime.
Third, I didn't like their support, they say the reply to tickets in 24hours but my ticket has been submitted for more than 48hours still no reply. Their online support doesn't reply even if they seem to be online...I really don't like when any agency treats their customers that way.
