Frase is an AI-powered content research and writing tool - it scrapes the SERP, builds an outline, and helps you draft. Dokeo is the pre-publish quality gate. Different layers of the content workflow.
Content teams who want SERP research + AI drafting in one tool.
Content teams who already draft (with Frase, ChatGPT, or humans) and want a deterministic quality gate before publishing.
Frase is research + drafting. Dokeo is scoring + enforcement. Frase helps you write the post; Dokeo decides if it's good enough to publish.
| Feature | vs Frase | Dokeo |
|---|---|---|
| Primary job | SERP research + AI draft | Pre-publish quality gate |
| Output | A draft | Pass/Flag/Fail + score |
| SERP scraping | ✓ | ✗ |
| AEO + GEO checks | ✗ | ✓ |
Frase starts at $14.99/mo for the Solo plan (limited). Dokeo starts free at 100 scans/month and $49/mo for 2,500 credits with 2x rollover - better economics for high-volume teams.

Frase includes an AI content detector. Dokeo doesn't flag AI-written content - it flags content that has AI tells (em-dashes, hedging, filler, lack of specifics) regardless of source.
| Feature | vs Frase | Dokeo |
|---|---|---|
| AI-content detector | ✓ (third-party) | ✗ (we score the output, not the source) |
| AI-tell detection | Partial | ✓ (em-dashes, hedging, filler) |
| AI-citation readiness | ✗ | ✓ |
| Inline issue highlights | ✗ | ✓ |
No tool can reliably detect AI-written text, and we don't try. Dokeo scores content for AI-tells (em-dashes, generic phrasing, lack of specifics) regardless of source.
If you only need SERP research and drafting, Frase is a fine tool. If you publish across formats and want a deterministic quality gate, Dokeo covers more ground.
Yes. Use Frase to research and draft, then submit to Dokeo as the final gate. The two are complementary.
