ArticleForge vs. AIwriter – AI Article Generator Honest Review (2023 update)

Recently, I was introduced to a concept called “article generator.” Now, we all know the classic article spinner software, where you input a good piece of content, and it spits back unreadable text that hardly makes sense.

But it’s unique and passes Copyscape, so who cares if it sounds terrible and impossible to read?

WordAI came to life in recent years and was by far the best article spinner software. The final result was still hard to read, but it was definitely the best from the worst. 

I have used WordAI for over a year, and I have yet to see an article that I could spin and actually publish without (heavily…) editing first.

Nonetheless, for people like me, (who run tons of blogs and constantly create new ones, and need to stuff websites with “instant” SEO-friendly content): WordAI came out cheaper. Compared to buying from someone on Fiverr who claims to be native, but… we all know what type of content we end up with.

To cut the story short, I discovered an article generator phenomenon.

generalized comparison based on the standard features usually offered by AI writing tools.

I know it sounds terrible, and my first reaction was just a cynical cringe too. But within 2 weeks, I changed my mind dramatically.

I tried two Artificial Intelligence-powered article generator tool – ArticleForge and AI-Writer. Both SaaS.

Here is my honest review and experience with them both.

ArticleForge is a significantly cheaper article generator

Using their API limits you to 200.000 words per month ($57/month). If you use their web interface, there is no limit on article generation volume. This makes the price of a single 800-word article $0.3 (at most). If you are not using API, you can generate 2x or 3x times more articles.

In that case, the price per piece drops to about $0.1 per 800 words. 

That’s definitely affordable. 

The downside? You still get an unreadable article.

The quality of the article you get is roughly the same as that of WordAI.

The only difference is that you get random paragraphs “glued together” from different sources, and the order doesn’t really make sense. On top of lightly “spun” synonymous words, you get randomly arranged paragraphs.

Is the article from ArticleForge good for SEO?

Yes, definitely, since you can add sub-keywords to be “discussed” in your article. 

But, I assume, once someone lands on your page from these Search Engines, they will bounce back immediately.

So, you get dirt-cheap SEO-friendly content. If this is what you are after, and you are just producing dozens upon dozens of MFA websites and PBNs, ArticleForge is a life savor.

Now, the second article generation software I have tried – was AIwriter.

And this one made me change my option about this whole concept of “article generation software”.

AIWriter does the same job, but a lot better. 

How is it better?

First, AIWriter generates articles and adds “sources” for reference in every paragraph.

This is super useful if you want to review your article, hyperlink some of the facts or stats, and link to the reference site to make the article look authentic.

Super useful, really.

Secondly, the quality of the article is superior. Now, I am not saying that it’s some kind of creative writing (like this blog post) and that you follow the writer’s trail of thought throughout the reading.

No, it’s still a “dry” article that brings out facts, ideas, and stats. But, it’s actually readable.

It’s comparable to the quality of an article you get from an average Fiverr writer that charges $10 per piece. You can, if you want, publish it as it is (it will just sound like a hired foreigner wrote it, so no, no big deal).

However, if you get approximately the same article for $5-10 on Fiverr, at AIwriter, one piece will cost you $0.65 if you buy the middle plan.

Since I am in the European Union, I had to pay $26 for the smallest plan (instead of $22, had I never moved to Prague). So if you are not taxed for being a privileged European, you get a better deal.

In my case, $26 bought me 40 articles, which comes down to $0.65 per piece.

It’s still super cheap compared to any human writing on earth, and if you are anywhere outside of the EU, you will get it even 20% cheaper.

I don’t know anyone who would draft me an 800 words piece for $0.65, do you?

However, compared to ArticleForge, it’s literally 4-6 times more expensive.

Who is article generation software for?

Obviously, it’s for anyone who regularly uses Article Spinning software and wants to cut the production time in half.

Instead of looking for an article to spin, then feeding it into the spinner, and then waiting for the result, you will only need to press a button, and the AI tool will do the work for you.

However, in both cases, I took the freshly baked article and run it through Grammarly (I use Grammarly premium, which allows me to rephrase hard-to-read sentences).

Grammarly does a great job picking some of the “harshest” errors, like missing commas, extra spacing, and rephrasing sentences that ended up sounding a little foreigner-ish structure-wise.

If you combine article generation software with Grammarly, you get great results, really.

ArticleForge vs. AIwriter – Conclusion

ArticleForge and AIWriter offer a short trial period, so don’t take my word on the quality comparison – try it out for yourself. In my opinion, these are the best article generator software on the market in 2022.

The bottom line is that ArticleForge is cheap and unreadable, and AIWriter is more expensive and offers superior quality of writing with references. You can get away with posting an article that came out of AIWriter without many people noticing a bot wrote it. If you want to explore other choices, you can also check Typli.ai, an AI writing tool with an SEO checker, 2 in 1!
