1. ChatGPT
ChatGPT is my Swiss Army knife for content. It drafts articles, brainstorms ideas, and even helps with illustrations or organizing marketing steps. Every day, I use ChatGPT not only to update posts but also to plan new content and try out creative prompts. Its best strength? It adapts to any style or job if you give it the right prompt. But, you do need to double-check facts, since it sometimes makes mistakes if your prompt isn’t clear enough.
Pros:
- Flexible for all types of writing
- Remembers your style with its memory feature
- Connects to many marketing apps
Cons:
- Needs human fact-checking
- Quality depends on your prompt
- Free plan has limited models
Tip: Use “memory” to save recurring writing formats like newsletters, so it matches your voice every time. Check out my list of AI prompts for marketers.
Pricing: Free for basic use, paid plans start at $20/month.
2. Gemini
When I need research or up-to-date stats, Gemini is my go-to. It pulls real web info fast and links to sources, so I can double-check facts for serious content, like technical blogs or data-based posts. Gemini even tells you which facts it’s confident about and which need checking. While it’s not as creative as ChatGPT, it’s great for getting things right.
Pros:
- Gives current, sourced info
- Double-checks facts with source links
- Simplifies hard topics
Cons:
- Less fun for creative writing
- Fewer app connections
Tip: Use the “Double-check” feature to find confident info fast, then follow source links for backup.
Pricing: Free to try. Pro models start at $19.99/month.
3. All in One SEO – AI Content Generator
If you blog with WordPress, All in One SEO’s AI is a big time-saver. It writes SEO titles, meta descriptions, and social posts right in your editor. I use it to speed up blog launches and hit SEO goals without switching screens. You can add FAQs and key points to every post, which helps you rank in Google snippets and AI Overviews.
Pros:
- Everything is inside WordPress
- Advanced SEO options like FAQ schema
- Fast content for many platforms
Cons:
- Free credits are limited
- Needs the AIOSEO plugin
Tip: Add FAQ and key points to every post—these help you win in Google’s featured answers.
Pricing: Free credits for Lite users, more with Pro plans starting at $49.60/year.
4. SeedProd AI Writing & Image Generator
When I want a landing page up in a hurry, SeedProd’s AI writes headlines and body copy inside its drag-and-drop builder. Its AI assistant also creates unique images for your page, so you can stay on brand without hiring a designer. With 30+ tone styles and over 50 language options, you can target different audiences or markets.
Pros:
- Copy and images built into the page builder
- Many tone and language choices
- Easy drag-and-drop setup
Cons:
- AI tools are premium only
- Image results may take a few tries
Tip: Use tone settings to match the mood of each page, or use translations to launch in new markets with no extra help.
Pricing: Free builder, AI tools in paid plans from $39.50/year.
5. Canva Magic Studio
Canva gives me instant social graphics and blog images without design skills. The Magic Eraser wipes out unwanted parts of an image, and Magic Resize makes graphics fit any platform. There’s also a huge library of templates and assets. Most AI features are in the Pro plan, but even the free version saves time.
Pros:
- Simple, pro-looking designs
- Fast editing with AI magic tools
- Many templates to choose from
Cons:
- AI features limited on free
- AI can struggle with text in images
Tip: Use Magic Resize to turn one graphic into Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter versions with a click.
Pricing: Free for basics, $4.58/month for all features.
6. Runway
For videos, Runway makes clips in minutes. I use it to test quick video ideas or make polished shorts for social media. You just type what you want, and Runway creates a video to match. Sometimes you need a few tries for the best result, but it’s way faster than editing by hand.
Pros:
- High-quality videos fast
- Works for beginners
- Text-to-video and special effects
Cons:
- Doesn’t support negative prompts
- Best results take a few attempts
Tip: Batch make clips in one go, using reference images for more control.
Pricing: Free plan with watermarks, paid from $12/month.
7. ElevenLabs
Voiceovers can make or break a video. ElevenLabs creates human-like voices from text in seconds. I first tried it for a video experiment and now use it whenever I want to add narration that sounds real. Just remember—you still need a basic audio editor to add music or mix tracks.
Pros:
- Very realistic voiceovers
- Fast generation
- Many voice choices
Cons:
- Free plan limits characters
- Doesn’t edit/mix audio by itself
Tip: Match the voice to your audience and use audio editors to polish the results.
Pricing: 10,000 characters/month free, paid from $5/month.
How to Choose the Best AI Tool for Your Marketing Needs
Start by testing a free plan or trial. Use it on an actual marketing job, not just a sample, to see if it saves time or solves a real problem. Check if it connects with your other tools, fits your workflow, and comes at a price you can keep up as your needs grow. Always look at data privacy, export options, and customer support. Sometimes the best tool is the one you already use—many platforms now have AI upgrades built in.
