 "summary": "AI blog writer for Shopify with SEO scoring, scheduling and publishing. Free plan available. New to the App Store: zero reviews as of 18 Aug 2026.",
 "best_for": "Shopify stores that want to test AI-written blog posts with SEO scoring at no cost, and who treat the output as a first draft rather than as publishable copy",
 "skip_if": "you need a tool with a track record — there is none here yet — or you publish content where accuracy matters enough that an unreviewed generator is a liability",
 "honest_knock": "The honest thing to say about this one is that there is nothing to judge yet: on 18 August 2026 the App Store listing showed a rating of 0.0 from zero reviews, and on 9 October 2026 it still did. Not one merchant has publicly reported using it. That is not a criticism of the product, it is a statement about the evidence — an AI blog writer that nobody has reviewed is a bet, and it should be priced as one. The category it sits in is also crowded with tools that have years of track record behind them.",

Free: 10 posts, 10 images, 1 workflow, basic SEO. Starter $9: 30 posts, 30 images, 3 workflows, brand voices, auto-publish, expert SEO. Pro $29: 100 posts, 100 images, 10 workflows, product references, generation priority. Business $79: 300 posts, 300 images, 30 workflows, support priority. All charges are billed in USD every 30 days. Correction to our own earlier note: on 18 August we wrote that the listing showed no paid tiers, which was our reading failing on a client-side table, not the vendor withholding prices. One conflict remains: the vendor's own FAQ on autowrite.blog, read 9 October 2026, says the Free plan includes 3 blog posts a month, against 10 on the App Store listing.",
