The Starter Plan: 8 Articles a Month for One Website

Short answer: the Starter plan of AI Blog Autopilot costs 19 euros a month and lists 8 articles a month, 1 website, 5 social networks and 1 language. Eight articles is about two a week, which is enough to build a real blog on one site. Use it by planning a balanced month, reviewing every article at first, and upgrading only when you hit a clear limit.

Choosing a plan is easier when you know what you would do with it. A plan that is too small leaves you frustrated, and one that is too large leaves credits unused, because the product’s credits are monthly and do not roll over. Starter is the entry plan for articles, and for many small sites it is the right size for the first six months.

This guide goes through what Starter lists, what it leaves out, how to build a month of eight articles, how much review time to expect and what signals tell you it is time to move up. All plan details come from the product’s pricing and home pages. Prices and limits can change, so confirm them there.

What Starter lists

The pricing page shows Starter at 19 euros a month, with yearly billing shown at 20 percent lower. It lists 8 articles a month, 1 website, 5 social networks and 1 language. Articles can be up to 3,000 words, credits are monthly and do not roll over, the first 3 articles are free, VAT is added at checkout and you can cancel any time.

The home page adds the fuller picture of what an article is. It is a 2,000 to 3,000 word piece planned around a real search query, with an FAQ, tags and SEO meta, written directly in your language and checked automatically before it goes live. One credit buys one full article. After publication on your blog, each article is shared to the networks you connect, with a text and timing suited to each one.

So Starter gives you eight of those pieces each month, shared in up to five places. That is a fair amount of publishing for 19 euros, but the real cost is your attention, since you decide what the articles are about and check that they are right.

What Starter does not include

It helps to know the edges. Compared with the plans above it, Starter has only one website, where Growth lists 2, Pro lists 5 and Agency lists 20. It has five social networks, where Growth and above list all 60. It supports one language, where Growth lists 3 and Pro and Agency list all 25.

The features listed only on higher plans are also absent. Evergreen reshares appear from Growth upwards. The Search Console topic import appears from Pro upwards. Team and client approval and API and white-label reports appear on Agency only. None of these matters for a single site written in one language, but each becomes relevant in the right situation, which the later sections cover.

The Social plan, at 15 euros, is a different product shape: 60 social posts a month with no website, 1 brand, 5 networks and 1 language. If you have a website and want articles, Starter is the entry point. The article on choosing an AI Blog Autopilot plan compares all of them.

Who Starter suits

It suits a small business with one website and one language that wants a steady blog: a local shop, a clinic, a trade, a studio, a small consultancy. It suits a new blog that needs regular content while the owner focuses on the business. It suits anyone who wants to try the product seriously for a few months before committing to more.

It also suits a site that already has a few articles and needs consistency. Many blogs have burst of activity followed by silence. Two articles a week for a month, then continuing, shows readers and search engines that the site is alive. The article on scaling from 4 to 30 posts a month explains how to grow volume without losing quality.

It does not suit an agency running several client sites, a business that needs content in several languages or a site that wants dozens of articles a month. For those, a higher plan is the honest answer.

Building a month of eight articles

Do not treat eight articles as eight random topics. Build a small plan. A balanced month might include three problem-solving articles, which answer questions customers ask; two guides, which explain how to choose or how to prepare; one comparison or checklist; one article about a seasonal event or local issue; and one article about your own service or process.

The product plans around the topics you set, with weight, keywords, audience and tone. Use the weights to steer the mix. Give a higher weight to topics that bring customers, and a lower one to nice-to-have subjects. If you set five topics, you might weight them so that the main service gets three articles and the others one each.

Keep a simple calendar of special dates. If a busy season begins in six weeks, make sure the topics for it are prominent now, since articles need time to be found. The article on a content calendar on autopilot shows how to plan around the calendar.

How much review time to expect

Review time depends on how good your brief is and how sensitive your subject is. As a rough planning assumption, allow 15 to 20 minutes per article in the first month, which means about two to three hours across eight articles. After a few months of accurate output, many owners spend less, looking at a sample and the content map instead of reading every word.

Spend the time on what matters most. Check facts about your business, such as prices, areas, opening hours and policies. Check any claim that could create a promise to customers. Check that the tone suits you. The home page says the writer is instructed never to make up statistics, quotes or sources, but a person who knows the business is the best judge of whether something is true.

If you reach a point where you cannot keep up with review, do not buy more volume. Reduce the weight of sensitive topics or switch approval on for them and off for safer ones. The guide to quality control at volume offers routines for a busy owner.

Making five networks count

Five networks is a sensible limit, because few small businesses can follow up on more. Choose the places where your customers are. A shop might pick Facebook and a photo network. A professional firm might pick LinkedIn. A community business might add a messaging channel for regular customers. The networks page lists the full range if you are unsure.

Because each network receives its own text and timing, five networks do not mean five copies of the same message. The networks page says Autopilot writes a short hook for X and Bluesky, a professional post for LinkedIn and a bullet summary for Telegram. The home page shows an example in which the blog goes live at your chosen hour, LinkedIn follows 30 minutes later, Facebook after two hours and Pinterest the next day.

Watch each network for a month and keep the ones that bring readers or conversations. Since Starter does not include all 60, treat the five slots as a budget to spend wisely.

Signs it is time to move up

Several signals point to a different plan. You want a second website, which points to Growth. You need posts on more than five networks, which also points to Growth. You want articles in a second or third language, which points to Growth, or to Pro for all 25 languages. You want to import topics from Search Console, which is listed from Pro. You run client sites, which points to Agency.

Volume can also be a reason, but be careful. If you publish eight articles a month and your readers and review time are keeping pace, more volume may help. If you are struggling to check eight articles, more will not. The honest test is whether you finish each month with a plan, a review and an understanding of what worked.

Moving up is a plan change in your account, and you can compare in advance on the pricing page. The article on planning your monthly credits explains how to use the credits you have before the month ends.

Getting the most from 19 euros

A few habits make Starter go further. Use all eight articles each month, since unused credits are lost. Write a strong brief once and refine it each month. Keep a fact sheet updated and link to your best pages from your site so that articles have good places to send readers. Reply to comments on the networks. Look at what people read and give more weight to what works.

Consider the yearly option if you plan to stay. The pricing page shows yearly billing at 20 percent lower than monthly. Weigh it against the flexibility of monthly billing, especially in the first months, when you are still learning how the product fits.

Finally, give it time. A blog builds slowly, and two articles a week for three months is a better test than two weeks. The guide to the first 90 days of an automated blog sets realistic expectations.

One more habit is worth adding: keep a short log of what each month’s eight articles were about and how they performed. A simple table with the title, the publication date, the main phrase and a note on traffic or enquiries is enough. After three months you will see which families of topics earn attention and which do not, and you can adjust the weights in your brief accordingly. That feedback loop is the real advantage of a steady plan, because it turns publishing from guesswork into learning.
