What the price actually is

$29/month billed monthly; $24/month equivalent on annual billing at $288 up front. The self-serve tiers above this jump to $1,000/month and are aimed at go-to-market teams rather than individual writers, so they are not covered by this entry.

The usage this is priced against

80 marketing pieces a month — ad variants, product descriptions, email copy — at roughly 1,200 input and 800 output tokens each, generated on a mid-tier frontier model.

Someone using it half as much sees double the multiple. The assumption is the argument — if you disagree with it, the number below is not about you. Change it in the calculator.

The cost math, in full

Rates come from a dated rate card of representative published API prices, not from the vendor. Nobody outside these companies knows what they actually pay; volume discounts and in-house serving both push real costs below these figures, which makes every multiple here a floor rather than a ceiling.

Why this verdict, not the number

The generation runs on models Copy.ai licenses rather than trains, and at this volume the estimated token bill is a little over a dollar. The workflow builder is a real piece of software and the higher tiers sell something different — orchestration across a sales stack, at prices that imply a different buyer entirely. For the individual writer paying twenty-nine dollars, the interface and the saved prompts are what the money buys, and both are reproducible.

What the price buys besides tokens

• UX craft
• Orchestration

Saved workflows and brand context spare a team from managing prompts, and the automation layer above this tier is genuinely more than a text box. At the entry tier a writer is mostly paying for organisation rather than capability.

What you lose if you leave

Workflows you did not have to build, and a shared place for a team's prompts to live. For someone who does not want to think about prompting, that convenience is the product.

The honest cheaper path

A shared prompt library in any assistant subscription covers the individual case. For a team, a small internal tool over an API key reaches parity on the entry tier quickly, though not on the automation tiers above it.
