Finally, a Jasper alternative without ridiculous pricing or usage limits

Copy.ai vs Jasper.ai: What’s the best option for me?

Let’s be honest: there are lots of generative AI tools for you to choose from. So why would you go with Copy.ai over Jasper.ai when both tools – at first glance – seem to accomplish the same thing?

While these tools are similar, there are a few key differences that make Copy.ai a better fit for some content creators. These factors include things like pricing, automated workflows, and a better user experience.

Let’s take a closer look at each of these factors and why they matter to you.

More Competitive Pricing

Jasper.ai gives new users 5 days to trial their product with a credit of 10,000 auto-generated words. That said, Jasper does require a credit card when signing up. There’s a small charge to verify your card, but the charge will be refunded if you don’t commit to a larger membership. Copy.ai, on the other hand, allows you to start for 7 days free on their Pro plan with no credit card required. This gives new users access to all the bells and whistles Copy.ai offers.

Once the trial is over, Jasper.ai has a two options for pricing. Their Boss Mode plan begins at $59/month for 50,000 words. This gives you more access to advanced tools, more templates, priority support, SEO mode, plagiarism checkers, and more. From there, users can upgrade to Business (starting at $499/month).

Copy.ai, however, offers users two plans: Free and Pro. On the free plan, users can generate up to 2,000 words at no charge. It comes with unlimited projects, 90+ copywriting tools, and doesn’t require a credit card. If you need a bit of copy here and there, this plan would be perfect.

The Pro plan gives users access to everything Copy.ai offers, unlimited words of text, and starts at only $49/month.

Automated AI Workflows (early access)

Our goal at Copy.ai isn’t just to improve your writing. Instead, we want to automate all of the tedious aspects of your marketing funnels. We think humans should be tackling creative problems that require big ideas to solve – not tedious or mindless work that leads to burnout.

With Copy.ai, you can automate every part of your sales and marketing funnels, such as:

Cold Email Outreach: Send personalized emails and LinkedIn connection requests from a user's LinkedIn profile URL. Then schedule and automatically write follow-up messages depending on each lead’s response – or lack thereof. Finally, send every interaction directly to your CRM.

Programmatic SEO: Drive more organic traffic by leveraging AI for your SEO strategy. Take a keyword and create section outlines for your next blog post. Then have these sections written for you to create a first draft of long-form articles in minutes. Now rinse and repeat at scale.

Product Descriptions: Connect your products to Copy.ai’s automated workflows and have product descriptions written for you in bulk. Then A/B test your product page’s copy until conversions are where you want them to be.

Thought Leadership: Write compelling content in a fraction of the time it currently takes without sacrificing quality. Create social media posts, video scripts, thought leadership articles, eBooks, and more in a matter of clicks. Then use your expertise to polish the output before sharing it with your audience.

Enhanced UX and Better Quality Output

Bells and whistles are great until they make too much noise in your dashboard. With Copy.ai, we aim to give you everything you need without making you pay for the things you don’t (another benefit of our simplified pricing plan). That’s why we took special care to design a dashboard that was loaded with features and templates but helps writers do what they do best: write higher-quality content in a fraction of the time.

Plus, Copy.ai is the only tool that truly lets you get started in minutes with no exchange of your financial information up front. We want users to enjoy the writing process, and we strive to make that as easy as possible at every turn – from start to finish.

Jasper.ai has a lot of good qualities, and it doesn’t take long to get used to their software. However, some former Jasper users have mentioned that there was too much going on in their user dashboards. For some, this led to decision fatigue and ultimately distracted some writers away from the core ideas they had initially wanted to convey.

Finally, Jasper does have some great add-ons/integrations to help long-form copy. However, some of these integrations – Surfer SEO and Grammarly, for example – require paying for 3rd-party subscriptions. While this is pretty standard with SaaS products, some users weren’t aware they needed to pay for these add-ons until after they had already purchased a subscription with Jasper. This meant paying 2-3x more each month than users had initially planned, which hurt the overall user experience.

Copy.ai: A more cost-friendly Jasper alternative

At the end of the day, both Copy.ai and Jasper accomplish the same goals: helping content creators/marketing teams produce better assets in a fraction of the time. And when you look closely, both options come with everything you need to tackle long and short-form campaigns.

Which begs the question: Why would you choose Copy.ai over Jasper?

This really comes down to getting the most bang for your buck. While Jasper does have some integrations that Copy.ai doesn’t offer yet, these typically require paying for more 3rd-party subscriptions. SurferSEO, for example, is a tool that integrates well with Jasper. But you’d need to pay an additional $59/month for a SurferSEO subscription. This would still only give you access to 100,000 words of text generation.

Copy.ai, however, delivers a simple pricing plan that covers the needs of most content marketing teams. For only $49/month, you have access to the same features as you get with Jasper’s Boss mode along with unlimited words of text generation.

In other words, you get 100x more content with Copy.ai for 1/10th the monthly cost.
