Search Atlas goes further than an editor: its OTTO SEO engine applies technical fixes, on-page improvements and content changes to your site, and Atlas Agent runs tasks across the platform. Content teams get Content Genius and an AI Content Suite for writing, Topical Maps for planning, a Site Auditor and rank tracking, and the ability to publish to any CMS. Every plan runs on Universal Credits. Starter is $99 a month billed monthly for 50,000 credits, which Search Atlas says can cover about 50 premium AI articles, 100 AI content edits and 1,500 rank checks, along with 2,000 tracked keywords and 50,000 audit pages. AI Visibility across ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Mode starts on Growth at $199. The platform is broad, and the credit system plus the number of modules make it harder to learn than a focused tool.
