AEO + AI tracking
Frase has AI assistance for writing, but no per-engine citation dashboard. ForestSEO probes 5 AI engines daily and shows you per-query share-of-voice — the metric that actually matters for AEO.
Agency ops
Frase is built for individual content workflows. ForestSEO has multi-client workspaces, agency-level templates, capacity dashboards, and white-label reports.
Refresh + decay
Frase doesn't have a decay-prediction or refresh-queue system. ForestSEO models decay velocity per page and queues refreshes by traffic-at-risk × business value.
Outreach + reputation
Frase is built for the brief-to-draft workflow. Ranking and getting cited also depend on links you have to earn and a brand you have to watch — work that lives outside Frase entirely. ForestSEO runs outreach and reputation in the same platform as the content.
