AEO is not a side feature. It needs a platform built around it.
Frase is a content platform: it writes and audits articles, publishes them to your CMS, and tracks AI visibility on ChatGPT and Google AI from $49 a month, adding more AI platforms on higher plans. SKYA was built for AEO: up to 9 AI platforms, competitor intelligence, 4 specialist agents, hallucination defense and one-click technical fixes. Content workflow is one feature; AEO is the whole product.
If your main job is producing articles, Frase is built for it and costs less to start. If AI visibility is the job, SKYA reads more AI platforms at $129 and at $299.
Frase's position: SEO and AI content platform. Writes and audits articles, publishes to WordPress, Webflow, Sanity or Wix, and tracks AI visibility: ChatGPT and Google AI on Starter ($49 a month), Perplexity from Professional ($129), Claude and Gemini from Scale ($299). Reports without Frase branding on Enterprise.

An honest, feature-level breakdown of both platforms across the pillars that actually move the needle for answer engine optimization.
SKYA is built around AI visibility: measuring it, explaining it and fixing it. Frase is built around content: briefs, articles, audits and publishing, with AI visibility tracking alongside.
AI Visibility and Competitors' Intelligence are core features, each in its own menu, updated on a schedule for every project; the four agents, On-Page Audit, Keyword Gap Analysis, Hallucination Audit and Brand Sentiment (Reputation), run when you start them: On-Page Audit is included in every plan, the other three use one credit per run, and a deep Hallucination Audit uses four. Frase's pricing page does not list a hallucination audit or competitor intelligence.
SKYA installs technical fixes on WordPress in one click and drafts into eight headless stacks, seven of them in beta. Frase publishes finished articles to WordPress, Webflow, Sanity or Wix. Each ships something different to your site.
This remains Frase's home turf. If your core workflow is producing SEO content, Frase is a strong tool; SKYA does not aim to replace that.
Every SKYA finding ends in something you can ship. The nine readiness checks each generate their fix; schema, meta tags, sitemap, robots and llms.txt install on WordPress in one click; Shopify takes schema, meta description, Open Graph and llms.txt through the SKYA app, and Webflow takes page titles, meta descriptions and Open Graph after you approve them; and any draft the Content Engine or the action plan writes carries a Publish to site button that creates an unpublished post or page in your own editor, on WordPress, Shopify, Webflow and Framer, and in beta on Ghost, Strapi, Directus, Payload, Sanity, Drupal and Adobe Experience Manager. Frase: publishes articles to wordpress, webflow, sanity or wix.
A SKYA audit that measured nothing is marked failed and refunds its credit; a reputation dimension without enough independent sources says Not scored instead of printing a number; every hallucination finding is checked against your own facts before it is called false; and the Reddit and citation counts are stored answers, never a rank. That is the difference between a dashboard you can put in front of a client and one you have to explain.
The Meta Ads Hub is included on every SKYA plan, Reddit Visibility (the threads AI cites and where a rival is named instead of you) is included from the Agency plan onwards and in Brand Pro, AI Shopping (your products inside AI shopping answers) is an add-on beside any plan, and Google Reviews (request links, QR codes, private feedback from unhappy customers, what AI platforms say about your reputation) is free on every plan. Frase: none of these are listed on their feature page.
Not a feature bundled inside another category.
Checks of what AI says about you, and your rivals' search footprint, on every paid plan.
