Copy.ai is cheap and unlimited. But it's not built for SEO scale.
Copy.ai and SlopAds target different content creation workflows, with Copy.ai offering better raw value for general copywriting and SlopAds providing specialized infrastructure for programmatic SEO. Copy.ai's Pro plan at $49/month provides unlimited word generation across 90+ templates, making it exceptionally affordable for businesses that need ad copy, social posts, emails, and general marketing content. SlopAds at $99/month provides 50 complete articles with an 8-stage SEO pipeline, CMS publishing, and internal linking—features Copy.ai doesn't offer.
The core difference is workflow structure. Copy.ai operates as a general-purpose AI writing assistant where you create content piece by piece using templates and their chat interface. There's no campaign management system, no bulk article generation, and no automated publishing workflow. SlopAds is built specifically for programmatic SEO: you create campaigns targeting hundreds of keywords, generate articles in bulk, and publish them directly to WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, or Ghost with automated internal linking between articles. If you need to rank for 200 long-tail keywords, Copy.ai would require manually creating 200 separate pieces of content, while SlopAds handles it as a single campaign.
Copy.ai excels at flexibility and affordability. Their unlimited word generation is genuinely valuable for teams creating diverse content types. However, they lack SEO-specific features like schema markup generation, FAQ optimization, automated internal linking, or direct CMS integration. SlopAds doesn't compete on price or flexibility—we're more expensive and less versatile—but we provide the infrastructure needed for programmatic SEO at scale.
Choose Copy.ai if you need unlimited generation for general marketing copy, social media, ads, and emails, and you're comfortable with manual workflows. Choose SlopAds if you're executing programmatic SEO strategies where you need to generate, optimize, link, and publish hundreds of articles with minimal manual intervention. They're solving different problems at different price points.

Copy.ai is a great value if you need a general-purpose AI writing assistant. Unlimited words for $49/month is hard to beat if you're writing ad copy, social posts, and emails.
But if you're trying to rank for 100 keywords with structured, SEO-optimized articles that publish directly to your CMS? Copy.ai doesn't have the workflow for that.
We're not competing with Copy.ai on price. We're competing on whether you need bulk SEO content or general copywriting.
When to choose Copy.ai:
You need unlimited generation for ads, emails, social posts, and general marketing copy. SEO isn't your primary focus.
When to choose SlopAds:
You need to rank for hundreds of keywords with structured, SEO-optimized articles that publish directly to WordPress/Webflow. Programmatic SEO is the game.
