The 9 Best Free AI Content Generators in 2024

• Range of Templates – Jasper offers over 50 different templates ranging from long-form blog and website content to shorter ad copy as well as audio and video material. While Writesonic technically offers more templates (80+), I found the rich and easy-to-use prompt-refiner offered by Jasper to further enhance the template meant it won out overall (and honestly, I feel like 50+ templates is as much as you would ever need before it becomes confusing).

• Custom and Brand Voices – As well as offering over 20 pre-set tones, which is more than most content generators, Jasper makes it easy to create custom tones using a style guide file, text prompt, or a site URL for inspiration. You can save these and apply them to future content, so it’s easy to maintain a consistent style and tone across all your content. This’ll help you stay on brand if you’re writing as a business.
• Intuitive Content Editor – I felt as at home in Jasper’s editor than I would in any word processor. It made it easy to make the final draft my own with rewrites, additions, and reformatting. Jasper also created images I could add based on my simple prompts.

Jasper offers the following three pricing plans. It also offers 7-day free trials for both the Creator and Pro plans which allow you complete access to all their premium features, meaning you can test it out thoroughly before deciding to go premium.

• Creator – 1 user, 1 brand voice, SEO mode, Google Chrome browser extension.
• Pro – 6 seats, 3 brand voices, 10 knowledge assets, 3 instant campaigns, and access to Jasper Art.
• Business – Unlimited feature access, performance analytics, enterprise-level security, API access, dedicated account manager, custom style guides.

You must enter your credit card information to access the free trial. However, you can cancel at any time.

Jasper’s breadth of templates, tones, and styles mean it could serve a broad audience of content creators. It would be a good choice for a business that wants to maintain a sense of brand identity while producing content for multiple channels fast and at scale.

It would also well suit any content creators wanting to work with an AI co-pilot that perfectly adopts their personal style and tone.

One thing I’ll note is that I can’t say Jasper is cheap relative to other options on this list. Starting from $39/month, I’d say it’s perhaps not the best choice for those with very little to invest in AI content support. However, I would suggest trying it out using the free trial to see if the value of this comprehensive tool is worth the money for you (it certainly was for me).

• AI Blog Creation – Available on the free plan, HubSpot’s AI writer’s three-step process of Define Idea, Select Title, Review Outline made it effortless for me to create a blog post draft in minutes. Many features were on lock-down though and would require upgrading to a paid plan or 14-day free trial to access, such as adding specific keywords and talking points to the prompt.

• Email Writing – HubSpot AI generates sales outreach emails, reducing the time spent creating content and enhancing team productivity. It also offers customizable templates which help you design professional-grade emails quickly.
• AI Summarization – HubSpot helps you summarize your customer interactions, helping you gather crucial knowledge to sharpen your marketing approach. You can use the summarizing tool to create a thorough summary of your customer’s journey from email, phone calls, and web chat and identify areas for optimization.
• HubSpot Suite Integration – anyone already using at least one of the several HubSpot marketing products will benefit from the seamless integration of this AI content-generation tool into the wider HubSpot suite of tools. This can give marketers a more holistic view of different activities within their strategy; for example, integrating the content generator with the HubSpot analytics tools allows users to easily track how this content performs.

HubSpot has a range of packages including a free plan. Important to note is that the free plan has a number of limitations in terms of features and number of users.

• Free – This plan supports up to five users and offers a basic and limited AI content creation tools, like its blog generator, but all content will have HubSpot branding.
• Content Hub Starter –  This includes all the features of the Free plan, along with additional benefits like removing HubSpot branding from website pages, forms, landing pages, and the AI blog. Users also gain access to AI assistants and premium hosting.
• Starter Customer Platform –  This includes all the features of Content Hub Starter, plus tools from Content Hub Starter, Sales Hub Starter, Service Hub Starter, and Operations Hub Starter to help you generate leads, close deals, and manage customer relationships.
• Content Hub Professional –  This provides advanced tools like brand style, podcasts, AI translation, A/B testing, smart content for pages, content remix, content embed, custom reporting, memberships, and dynamic pages.
• Content Hub Enterprise –  This is the most powerful content marketing solution providing advanced control and flexibility for large-scale operations.

The HubSpot AI content generator will be a smart choice for content marketing teams, especially those already using the HubSpot platform in some capacity. Seamless integration of the many tools in the HubSpot suite means that different marketing activities, including AI content generation, can be easily combined into one holistic strategy.

The free plan is limited to five users only, which will likely be too limited for most content marketing teams. However, the Content Hub Starter plan is piced reasonably at just $15 per seat per month.

• SEO Article Writer – You simply input the desired keywords and target country, and Scalenut will compare top-ranking articles to help produce content that’s relevant and likely to rank higher in search engines.
• Marketing Copy – Scalenut isn’t limited to blog writing; it also offers over 40 other writing templates, such as product descriptions, social media posts and captions, and voiceover scripts.
• Content Optimization – As well as aiding the creation of SEO-optimized content from scratch, Scalenut can also work retroactively to optimize existing content. It does this by using the same keyword research and competitor comparison techniques as its Article Writer feature.

Scalenut offers the following four pricing plans. You get a 7-day free trial with the Essential, Growth, and Pro plans, meaning you can access and test all the plans’ features before deciding if you want to buy a premium subscription or not.

• Essential – 100k words, 5 SEO articles/month, SEO templates, AI images, factual content.
• Growth – Unlimited words, 30 SEO articles/month, audit and optimize 30 articles/month, 60 keyword clusters/month, analyze 200 webpages/month on a single domain.
• Pro – Everything in Growth + 75 SEO articles/month, 75 keyword clusters/month, analyze 500 webpages/month on 5 different domains.
• Enterprise – Custom limit on SEO articles, unlimited webpage analysis, advanced AI models, enterprise-level security, tailored onboarding.

Scalenut suits blog writers, business owners, or SEO professionals who want to streamline creating SEO-friendly AI-generated content for their clients’ personal blogs or business websites.

Because of its versatility for other marketing-based writing formats, it suits those who want to write for commercial purposes. However, it may not be the most obvious choice for students, academics, or creative writers who want to improve their work using artificial intelligence (AI).

• Large Email-specific Template Range – This covers many specific email types such as thank you emails, newsletter emails, welcome emails, and many more. All Rytr templates are customizable and can be refined to exactly what you want with easy prompt-driven changes.
• Multi-Lingual Support – Rytr supports over 20 languages for content generation. While other content generators on this list support more languages like Paragraph AI (40+) and Copy.ai (90+), Rytr’s access to this multi-lingual support is more affordable. Furthermore, I think you’d only need more than 30 languages if you were doing a hugely comprehensive global content strategy.
• Versatile Free Plan – Rytr’s free plan offers 20+ pre-set tone styles (similar to the much pricier Jasper) and 40+ writing styles or use cases, making it possibly the most generous AI content generation free plans out there in this regard.

While I’d say Rytr’s free plan is the most generous on this list, it doesn’t offer plagiarism checks, opening you up to the risk of copying others’ work, even accidentally.

Note that Rytr’s popularity also stems from its cheap paid plans which offer ample monthly plagiarism checks and absolutely won’t break the bank with a starting price of $7.50.

• Free – 10k characters, no plagiarism checks or tone matching, 1 language. Support in 30 languages, which is uncommon for free plans.
• Unlimited – Unlimited AI content generation, 1 tone match, 50 plagiarism checks/month, 1 language, priority support.
• Premium – Unlimited AI content generation, multiple tone matches, 100 plagiarism checks/month, 35+ languages/month, priority support, custom use cases.

All plans offer Chrome extension, 20+ pre-programmed tones, and access to an exclusive community of Rytr users.

Thanks to its free and budget-friendly plans, I’d recommend Rytr for freelancers, solopreneurs, and smaller businesses who have less capital to invest in an AI writing tool.

I’d also recommend Rytr to businesses that want to communicate in a bespoke or personalized way to their customers or clients through email. Rytr can help them quickly generate emails for outreach, marketing campaigns, customer engagement efforts, newsletters, follow-up emails, and much more owing to an impressive email template library.

As I was more impressed with its content outline generation than its writing proficiency, I would also recommend Rytr more for those briefing content than actually producing it.

• Paraphrasing Tool — QuillBot’s free version lets you rephrase up to 125 words at a time, offering two modes: Standard and Fluency. This can be a great help when improving the readability and grammatical accuracy of your writing. It can also help prevent your text being flagged as AI-written by AI content detectors thanks to the diversity and human-like flow it brings to the text.
• Summarizer — With QuillBot’s free Summarizer, you can condense long passages of text into key points or a brief summary. This is useful for quickly distilling overwhelming walls of text into digestible chunks.
• Grammar Checker — QuillBot’s built-in grammar and spelling checker can spot errors in your writing, helping to refine and polish the final text. This feature improves overall clarity and quality, even in the free version.

QuillBot provides several tools for free, but we suggest upgrading to Premium to avoid usage limitations. Below, we have outlined the pricing model for QuillBot Premium:

• Free — Paraphrase 125 words in 2 modes, basic grammar fixes, 50 AI prompts per day, and basic summarizing.
• Premium — Unlimited paraphrasing, AI prompts, advanced grammar fixes, custom summaries, and plagiarism detection.

QuillBot is an excellent tool for students, academics, and writers who need a free or low-cost AI assistant for grammar checking, paraphrasing, summarizing, and citations.

It’s not my first choice for complete AI content generation; unlike tools such Jasper and Rytr, Quillbot is more about generating rewrites or improved versions of text rather than brand new from-scratch writing. However, its paraphrasing capabilities are what make it a great tool for rephrasing your work so that it avoids being flagged as AI written by AI content detectors.

• Social Media Scheduling and Tracking – Simplified also allows you to plan, track, and analyze social media posts all from within the app interface.
• AI Writer – Simplified offers 80+ templates for creating plagiarism-free writing in 10+ tones and 30+ languages. It also offers rewriting, sentence expander, and paragraph generator tools to fine-tune existing content.
• AI Design – You can work on a range of graphic design projects, including landing pages, posters, ads, and social media posts, even without graphic design experience.

Simplified’s free plan is generous, although as with all AI content generator free plans, it’s limited in terms of word count (5,000 words) and it only uses GPT 3 for its content (premium plans use GPT 4o Turbo). One of Simplified’s most impressive features is its social media scheduling, and the free plan only allows  for three social account connections.

The two paid plans are more generous in terms of advanced features, and the Enterprise plan is great for teams as it allows up to ten users.

• Free – One user, generation of 5,000 AI words with GPT 3, 3 social account connections, 500mb storage
• Simplified One – One user, generation of 100,000 AI words with GPT 4o Turbo 7 social channels, 100 AI design generations, 50 AI video generations, 5Gb storage
• Enterprise – Ten users, unlimited AI content creation, priority support, training and onboarding, workflow automations

Simplified stands out as an invaluable resource for content creation, namely for small business owners, social media managers, and solopreneurs in search of a multifaceted tool.

Its appeal is in the comprehensive, one-stop solution it offers for planning, creating, and scheduling content, eliminating the need for multiple apps and various subscriptions.

However, for those requiring an in-depth AI writing generator, especially for long-form content, academic writing, or any task demanding high factual accuracy, Simplified may fall short. It’s more of a jack-of-all-trades rather than a specialized AI writing assistant.

• Multi-Lingual Text Generation – With Paragraph AI, you can create and generate content in 40 languages, even on the completely free plan. This makes it a highly affordable solution for global or multilingual content output, although you will be limited to a “basic” multilingual keyboard on the free plan.
• AI Keyboard – The AI keyboard can work natively on your mobile keyboard to offer AI-generated suggestions as you type on factors such as formality, tone, and length, helping you to write with more confidence
• Mobile App – The mobile app for this AI text generator works across various platforms where you’d have to write, including social media and email platforms to help improve the fluency of your writing and nail the tone for your intended purpose.

Paragraph AI offers just two pricing plans: Free and Pro.

• Free – 1,000 characters input, 5 uses of Create, Fix, Reply, and Edit/day, limited access to editing, keyboard, 40+ languages.
• Pro – 5,000 characters input, unlimited use of Fix, Reply, and Edit, advanced editing, and keyboard access.

Paragraph AI offers a generous amount of multi-lingual support on its free plan, and its Pro premium plan is also highly affordable; I’d recommend this to people looking to create.

• Article Writing – Writesonic offers 3 tools to generate text. These AI writing tools include AW4.0, 5.0, and 6.0, each with different strengths. The most recent iteration, AW6.0, researches your content in real-time, so it’s far more reliable than comparable tools.
• Chatbot – Chatsonic is Writesonic’s chatbot, self-titled “ChatGPT with superpowers,” since it’s also linked to Google, so offers up-to-date, factual information, perfect for research, getting content ideas, and overcoming writer’s block.
• Text-to-Speech – Audiosonic is Writesonic’s TTS feature, which allows you to convert chunks of written content into AI-generated audio.

You can trial Writesonic for completely free and without needing a credit card. The free trial gives you plenty of free advanced credits test drive the tool and see if it’s a good fit for you.

The plans then start at very affordable prices. Unlike most AI content generator platforms, Writesonic offers a whopping six pricing plans. Here’s a breakdown of your options:

• Chatsonic – Unlimited Chatsonic generations, no access to Standard or Advanced templates.
• Individual – Unlimited generations on Standard templates, 50 credits/month for Advanced templates.
• Standard – Everything in Individual + 1,000 credits/month, automated internal linking, AI keyword clusters, and improvements to Article Writer 6.0.
• Professional – Everything in Standard + 3 team members, 3,000 credits/month, AI content gap analysis, and personalized onboarding.
• Advanced – Everything in Professional + 5 team members, 6,500 credits/month, and priority support.
• Enterprise – Custom team members, custom apps, enhanced security, SSO/SAML login, personalized training, and priority support.

Writesonic is ideal for those who need to be confident that their content is factually correct and up-to-date. Not many of the best free AI tools for generating content work with real-time research, so I’d say that this is a big plus for Writesonic over alternative providers.

It’s also a great fit for content creators who work across both audio and written formats, such as podcasters and audiobook creators, since it also offers text-to-speech recording.

• Sales Writing – Copy.ai can work with the AIDA and PAS frameworks to generate effective and compelling ad copy for transactional landing pages.
• Range of Reporting Templates – I appreciated the impressive range of reporting templates offered by Copy.ai. These can help you structure many different kinds of specific reports such as market analysis, financial reports for the board, executive summaries, commercial reports, and more.
• Tone and Style Customization – If you want to set a specific tone for your sales copy, marketing content, or even your internal reports, I found Copy.ai made it easy to modulate between more formal, casual and technical tonalities.

Copy.ai offers three pricing plans, including the free option. Here’s a breakdown of each one:

• Free – 1 seat, 2,000 words in chat, 200 bonus credits.
• Pro – 5 seats, unlimited words in chat, 500 workflow credits per month.
• Team – 20 seats, unlimited words in chat, 3,000 workflow credits/month.

Copy.ai has been dubbed the first ‘GTM AI’ platform, meaning it’s geared towards sales efforts and gaining a competitive edge in business. This makes it great for sales teams looking to optimize workflows and drive conversions using AI. Its range of high-quality  reporting templates make it particularly useful in commercial and professional settings.

However, it’s worth noting that the transition to a paid subscription can be quite costly, which might not make Copy.ai the most feasible option for smaller enterprises or independent freelancers.
