Questions, answered

Does Google penalize AI content?

No — Google penalizes unhelpful content, not AI content. Its guidance rewards content that shows genuine expertise and value, however it's produced. Draftwave's quality gate exists precisely for this: it rejects generic, thin, or unsupported drafts before they can publish, so nothing that could trigger a spam action reaches your site.

How is this different from Outrank, ContentMonk, or Koala?

Those tools optimize for volume; Draftwave optimizes for what survives. Every draft passes a quality gate with a non-negotiable 'unique value' floor, you approve by default before anything publishes, we structure for AEO (AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity) natively, and we're transparent about per-article cost. We also refresh decaying posts instead of only spinning up new ones.

Which CMSs can I publish to?

WordPress first, with Ghost and Webflow next. You can also skip a CMS entirely and pull finished articles through our headless Content API — the same API our own marketing blog runs on.

Do I keep control of what publishes?

Yes. Human-approve is the default: generation produces drafts in a review queue, and publishing is a separate, explicit action. Autopublish is strictly opt-in per site and rate-limited, so you never wake up to content you didn't see.

What does it cost per article?

We engineer the pipeline to stay under $0.15 of model spend per article by defaulting to a cheap model and only calling a stronger model on the final edit pass. That efficiency is why the plans are priced the way they are — and we show the math rather than hiding it.

What are the free trial terms?

The trial is genuinely free: 3 quality-gated articles, the full research-to-gate pipeline, and 1-click publishing — no credit card required. When you're ready for more, Starter is $29/month and Pro is $99/month.

Can it write in other languages?

Yes. The pipeline is language-agnostic — the same research, drafting, and quality-gate steps run on non-English topics. Multilingual support expands over time; tell us your target languages and we'll prioritize accordingly.

Can I get a refund?

Plans are monthly and you can cancel anytime — you keep access through the period you paid for. If something isn't working within your first billing cycle, email us and we'll make it right.
