Frase vs Conductor

Frase: Sign up at frase.io, start your free trial, and begin creating AI-optimized content within minutes. Transparent pricing: $49, $129, or $299/month. No sales calls, no custom quotes, no procurement process.

Conductor: Enterprise sales process with custom quotes. Typical contracts range from $10K to $100K+ per year. Includes dedicated customer success, training, and onboarding — but requires weeks of sales engagement before you can start. Conductor does offer an unusual 3-week free trial, though it requires sales contact.

Frase: The AI Agent handles 80+ content workflows through natural language. Tell it what you need — “create a brief for this topic and check our AI visibility” — and it orchestrates the complete workflow. Designed for teams that move fast.

Conductor: Enterprise content intelligence platform with structured workflows, approval chains, and governance. Designed for large organizations where content goes through multiple review stages and stakeholders. More process, more control — appropriate for enterprise scale.

Frase: AI visibility monitoring with up to 8 platforms, Content-to-Citation workflow, bot/crawler analytics, 8 alert types, and real-time GEO scoring in the editor. Well-suited for content teams who need to act on AI visibility insights immediately.

Conductor: Claims to be an end-to-end enterprise AEO platform with real-time technical monitoring for AI crawler access, sentiment tracking, and citation analysis. Conductor has invested heavily in AEO thought leadership and has the enterprise credibility that comes with $215M in funding and clients like Citibank and Samsung.

Frase: Full content creation platform: unlimited AI writing in 100+ languages, content briefs, AI image generation, brand voice control, and an AI Agent. Content teams can go from topic to published, AI-optimized article without leaving the platform.

Conductor: Content Editor with optimization scoring and guidance, but positioned more as content intelligence than content creation. Conductor tells you what to write and helps optimize it, but the AI content generation capabilities aren’t as deep as Frase’s purpose-built writing tools.

Frase: REST API (50+ endpoints), MCP server with tools for research, creation, optimization, auditing, and AI visibility tracking, webhook API (9 event types), WordPress, Google Docs. Built for teams that integrate content workflows with AI assistants and automation.

Conductor: Enterprise CMS integrations (Sitecore, Adobe Experience Manager, Drupal, WordPress), Searchmetrics backlink data, and a recent Acquia OEM partnership. Built for enterprise tech stacks where content lives in complex CMS environments.

Frase is a self-serve content growth platform starting at $49/month, designed for content teams that need to create, optimize, and monitor content for both Google and AI search. Conductor is an enterprise AEO/content intelligence platform with quote-based pricing (typically $10K-100K+/year), designed for large organizations with dedicated SEO teams. Both offer AI visibility monitoring, but serve very different market segments.

Conductor offers a free 3-week trial, which is unusual for enterprise platforms. However, it requires sales engagement. Frase offers a free trial with 2 content docs and 1 Rank-Ready document — no credit card or sales call required.

Both platforms track AI visibility across multiple AI engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, AI Mode). Conductor offers enterprise-grade AEO with technical monitoring for AI crawler access and claims end-to-end AEO capability. Frase offers the Content-to-Citation workflow with integrated content creation and optimization. Conductor’s pricing reflects its enterprise positioning.

Conductor is designed for enterprise teams with dedicated SEO resources. There is no self-serve or SMB tier. Growing teams and content-focused organizations will find Frase more accessible at $49-299/month with transparent pricing and immediate access.
