Questions, answered.

Smarkly is an AI marketing co-pilot for small marketing teams and founders. It learns your company from the sources you trust, tracks your competitors and industry trends, plans campaigns on one editorial calendar and drafts blog posts, emails and social posts in your voice. You decide what goes out.

ChatGPT is a general-purpose assistant. Smarkly is a marketing co-pilot built around your company: it works from one company profile your whole team shares, follows your competitors and industry on a schedule and keeps one shared editorial calendar. When it can't back a claim, it marks it and asks instead of guessing.

Yes. Pro includes 3 seats and Business includes 10. Everyone works from the same company profile and the same calendar, with Owner, Admin and Editor roles.

No. It reads your website and suggests your positioning, audience and voice, so you start by reviewing and correcting rather than writing from scratch. Ideas drawn from industry news link to the article behind them, so you can see why they were suggested.

For a team's ongoing marketing, it's built to be. ChatGPT drafts from what you give it. Smarkly works from one company profile your whole team shares, follows your competitors and industry on a schedule and keeps one shared editorial calendar. For a one-off draft, ChatGPT works fine.

No. Smarkly researches, plans and drafts, but it doesn't post on its own. You copy each post out and publish it yourself, so nothing goes out until you decide.

Yes. Use ChatGPT for quick questions and Smarkly for marketing that has to match your company: the profile, the calendar and the drafts.

Updating a calendar doesn't bring in revenue on its own. It keeps you ahead: launches get their posts planned before the date, and you can see what's ready and what's still waiting. Smarkly suggests the dates and plans the posts, so keeping it current doesn't take someone's whole week.

A slow month shouldn't mean nothing gets created, edited or published. Smarkly keeps reading your market and suggesting topics, and the calendar shows what's planned, so a quiet month is a chance to get ahead.

Because writing is only part of marketing. Smarkly also follows your competitors and industry, plans one shared calendar and keeps your team working from the same facts. You can use both.

It's built not to. If your sources say it, Smarkly can use it. If they don't, the claim is marked for you to check before anything goes out. Correct a fact once and every draft after that uses the fix.

No. Smarkly drafts for your blog, email, LinkedIn, X, Instagram and Facebook, and puts each post on your calendar at a recommended time. You copy the post out and publish it yourself.

You get 14 days free, no card required, with lower limits than a paid plan. Subscribing raises your limits and lets you write for individual personas.

No. The 14-day trial does not ask for a card. You sign up, connect your website and start using the product straight away.

Your account locks to an upgrade screen until you add a payment method. Nothing is deleted. Your company profile, brand voice, competitors, content and calendar stay exactly as you left them and come straight back when you subscribe.

Both plans run the same AI and the same accuracy checks. Each includes the company profile and brand voice, competitor and industry trend monitoring, content suggestions grounded in real articles, audience profiles, the shared calendar, and content creation for blog, email, LinkedIn, X, Instagram and Facebook. Business adds volume and room for a team: 125 content pieces a month instead of 50, 10 seats instead of 3, 8 primary competitors instead of 5, and 10 website rescans a month instead of 5. Business also lets you run 3 product workspaces alongside your company workspace, each with its own profile.

Yes. Pro is $129 a month, or $1,188 for the year. Business is $299 a month, or $2,988 for the year. Annual billing is charged once, and you can pick either at checkout.

As of October 2026, a ChatGPT Business seat costs $20 to $25 a user a month, and it covers writing. Smarkly Pro is $99 a month on annual billing ($129 monthly) for 3 seats, and it covers the research, the editorial calendar and the drafts. The bigger cost is usually time. If keeping up with competitors, planning the calendar and writing first drafts takes one person five hours a week, that's about $820 a month at the median U.S. marketing specialist's wage.¹

¹ U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, median pay for market research analysts and marketing specialists, $37.87 an hour, May 2025.

Yes. The Owner can cancel at any time, and you keep access until the end of the period you have paid for. Payments already made aren't refunded, including for unused time.

Yes. Moving up to Business takes effect right away, and you're charged the prorated difference that day. Moving down to Pro takes effect at the end of the period you've paid for, and until then Settings shows the date it switches. On Pro, any product workspaces pause with nothing deleted, and they reopen if you move back to Business. The Owner or an Admin can change the plan.

Yes. Your team works in one shared workspace with one shared company profile, so everyone builds on the same facts. Access comes with Owner, Admin and Editor roles.

It depends which you mean. Several products or brands belonging to one company are supported on Business: you get 3 product workspaces alongside your company workspace, each with its own profile, all on one subscription. Separate client companies work differently. Each client runs in its own Smarkly account, which is what keeps one company's facts and voice out of another's content. If you're an agency, that separation is the point.

A content piece is one idea, with its angle and talking points. Each channel you write it for, like a blog post or a LinkedIn post, is a channel draft. One idea written for six channels uses 1 content piece and 6 channel drafts. Rewrites and AI edits don't use either.

That action stops until your limits reset on the 1st of the month. Upgrading to Business raises your limits right away. Already on Business? Write to us.

Only if you say so. Product analytics runs only after you choose OK, and you can change your choice any time from Cookie preferences in the footer.

Yes, that's who it's built for. Smarkly proposes your positioning, audience and brand voice from your website, so you review and correct instead of inventing marketing strategy from scratch. Ideas drawn from industry news link to the article, so you can see the reasoning too.

The research and first drafts are done for you. Your part is reviewing suggestions, correcting anything that's off and choosing what to post, and you set how much of that to do in any given week.

They inherit a real foundation. Everything Smarkly knows about your company, the facts, voice, audiences and calendar history, sits in one shared workspace you can add them to on day one.

A website. Smarkly builds your first company profile from it, and the trial runs 14 days with no card required.

It's written from your company's facts in your captured voice, which is what generic tools are missing. It also screens drafts for common AI tells, and nothing goes out until you post it, so the bar for "sounds like us" is yours.

No. On Business, your company and up to three products share one subscription, one team and one calendar. Each product keeps its own facts and audience, and writes in the company's voice. A product's page needs to live on your company's site.

Drafts are built from your profile as it is now. Change a fact and every draft after that uses the new version. Drafts already written stay as they were.

3 seats on Pro and 10 on Business, with Owner, Admin and Editor roles. Each person counts once, across the company and its products.

Your website. Smarkly builds the first company profile from it, and the trial runs 14 days with no card required.

Because writing is only part of the job. Smarkly works from one company profile your whole team shares, follows your competitors and industry on a schedule and keeps one shared editorial calendar. When it can't back a claim, it asks instead of guessing.

Change the fact once and every draft written after that is built from the new version.

3 on Pro, 10 on Business, all working from one editorial calendar and the same company profile.

No. Your profile belongs to the company, not to whoever wrote it. When people change roles, what they added stays, and whoever picks up the work starts from it. Removing someone takes away their access, not their work.

What they knew about the company stays, because it was never only in their head.

No. Smarkly holds your marketing profile and calendar. It isn't a task tracker and doesn't want to be.

It fits a team that wants one shared set of facts and drafts to edit and post themselves. It's not the right fit if you need it to publish for you (it drafts and schedules; you copy each post out and publish it yourself), if you need reporting on what performed (it doesn't measure results) or if you want existing content audited (it fixes what you write next, not what's already live). Agencies running many clients should see the Marketing agencies page.

Each client runs in its own Smarkly account with its own subscription, and your team is added to each one as Admin. You switch between accounts from the account menu. Keeping accounts separate is what keeps one client's facts and voice out of another's drafts.

Structurally. Each account has its own company profile and brand voice, and accounts share nothing, so every client's content sounds like that client and no one else.

No. Smarkly doesn't track rankings, report search volume or audit sites. It covers the content: drafts in the client's voice that carry the keywords you confirmed and link to the pages you choose.

Yes. Each account is a shared workspace with Owner, Admin and Editor roles, so account leads control membership while the team does the work.

Smarkly is your team's workspace; clients receive the work you deliver. If a client questions something, you can show where it came from: the source article or the fact in the client's profile.

Yes, when the client account starts with its own signup. Every signup gets 14 days free, no card required, so you can pilot Smarkly on one brand before rolling it into how you deliver.

Smarkly isn't a compliance tool and doesn't replace your review. What it does is refuse to assert facts about your institution that your sources don't back, so your review starts from your own facts instead of a model's guesses. Your compliance process is unchanged; the drafts entering it are cleaner.

No. Smarkly proposes your positioning, audience and voice from your sources, so you start by reviewing and correcting. Ideas drawn from industry news link to the article, so you can see the reasoning and learn as you go.

Your company profile and drafts stay in your workspace. To analyze and write, Smarkly sends content to one AI provider, Anthropic, whose terms don't allow it to train models on that content. We don't sell your personal information. Details are in the privacy policy.

No. There's no reviewer or read-only role. Approved drafts are copied to wherever your review happens.

Yes. Add the moments as events and draft ahead of them. The calendar feed puts them on the team's shared calendar.
