Ocoya vs Semrush
An online visibility platform — SEO, AI search, content, ads and social toolkits, sold separately or bundled.
Semrush is an SEO and search-visibility company first. Its SEO Toolkit (from $139.95/mo) is the reference for keyword research, rank tracking and site audits, its Content Toolkit writes SEO articles and publishes them to WordPress, and it tracks how AI assistants mention your brand. Social is a separate toolkit from $20/mo billed annually: scheduling to seven networks, competitor tracking and analytics, with influencer analytics and media monitoring on the $250/mo Business plan — but no social inbox and no video generation. If search is your main channel, Semrush is the better buy, and Ocoya’s SEO campaigns will not replace it. If social is your main channel and you want blog articles and email alongside it in one plan, Ocoya does more of that.

| Capability | ||
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | $29/mo on Starter — 5 social profiles, 300 AI credits, unlimited users | $20/mo billed annually on Social Base — 5 profiles, 50 posts a month |
| Free plan | No free plan — a 7-day free trial instead | A limited free version of the Social Toolkit, plus a 7-day free trial on every plan |
| Team seats | Unlimited users on every plan — invite your whole team and your clients at no extra cost, no per-seat pricing | Extra users are a paid add-on |
| SEO content | SEO blog campaigns built in — keyword research finds what people search for, AI writes a run of articles around those keywords, each gets an SEO score with one-click fixes, and they publish to your blog or CMS on a schedule | SEO Toolkit from $139.95/mo — keyword research, rank tracking and site audits — plus a Content Toolkit that writes SEO articles from a brief and publishes them to WordPress |
| AI search visibility | Not offered | Tracks how ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI mention your brand, with prompt tracking and AI visibility reports |
| AI copywriting | AI captions from a prompt, with brand voice, tone and length controls, on every plan — plus rewrite, shorten, expand, tone and translate on any caption. Copilot, beside the post editor, also writes or reworks a caption when you ask | AI drafts posts, hashtags and content ideas in the Social Toolkit; the Content Toolkit writes in your brand voice |
| AI image & video | AI image generation in-app — in Copilot, the post composer, campaigns and workflows, from the same credit pool. No AI video generation yet | AI generates visuals for posts; no video generation advertised |
| Campaign generation | One prompt becomes a whole campaign — posts, visuals and a schedule across every network. Blog campaigns start from keyword research and write a run of SEO articles, each with an SEO score, for your blog or CMS | The Content Toolkit turns an article into posts for LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, X and Pinterest, an email newsletter and a Google Business update |
| Design tooling | Design Studio built in — templates, brand kit and a full editor in the same tab as the calendar | No design editor — the Content Toolkit imports visuals from Canva |
| Networks | Integrations: Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Pinterest, Bluesky, Threads, YouTube Shorts, Google Business, TikTok, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Mastodon, Dribbble, Tumblr, WordPress, DEV.to, Whop, Notion, Airtable, Framer, Wix, Twitch, Kick, WooCommerce, and Custom | Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Google Business Profile and YouTube |
| Unified inbox | DMs, comments, mentions and Google reviews from Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky, Google Business, Telegram, Discord, Mastodon, WordPress and Whop in one inbox, with AI reply suggestions, assignment, open/resolved statuses and internal notes. On Facebook and Instagram you can also hide or delete a comment and ban its author | No social inbox — the Social Toolkit covers posting, tracking, analytics, influencers and monitoring |
| Workflow automation | Visual workflows that start on a schedule, from an RSS feed or a webhook, a new WooCommerce product, a new Notion, Airtable, Framer or Wix item, or a new DM, comment or review — with AI text and image steps — then publish to any channel or reply. An AI agent can trigger them too | No workflow builder — RSS feeds fill a list of content ideas, and a CSV upload schedules up to 100 posts |
| Social listening | Not offered | Media Monitoring across social, reviews, forums, news, blogs and podcasts — on the $250/mo Business plan, 10 keywords |
| Influencer marketing | Not offered | Influencer search and campaign management for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Twitch — on the Business plan |
| Analytics | In private beta — not yet open to every account | Post and profile analytics, audience data, automated reports and tracking of 10 or 20 competitor profiles |
| Approval workflows | Request approval on any post: pick which brand members review it, they get an email with one-click approve or reject, and the post cannot publish until it is approved. Every decision is logged on the post. Not gated behind a higher tier | Posts can be planned, written and approved in Social Poster |
| MCP / AI assistant control | mcp.ocoya.com — an OAuth-secured MCP server covering the whole product: create, design, schedule, run workflows and switch brands. Included on every plan | Semrush MCP brings SEO and market data into Claude, ChatGPT and others — it needs SEO Classic Business or Semrush One Advanced with API units |
| Email marketing | Email marketing built in — unlimited contacts, signup forms and imports, AI-written emails in your brand voice, a block editor, and scheduled sends from your own domain, all in the same plan as your social posts | The Content Toolkit drafts newsletters from your articles and publishes them to Mailchimp — no contact lists or sending of its own advertised |
| Link in bio | Bio pages built in — a link-in-bio page at yourname.tool.bio on every plan (each page uses one social profile slot) | Not listed on their pricing or features pages |
