Cheap Drafts vs a Working SEO Loop
SEOAgent
SEOAgent is the SEO engine for coding agents. It ships as a free Skill for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex (plus a local CLI) that audits your site and builds landing pages and blog articles directly in your repo. The optional cloud layer analyzes Google Search Console performance, researches competitors and keywords, and proposes evidence-backed updates — which your coding agent implements only after you approve them.
Cuppa
Cuppa is a budget-friendly AI article generator popular with indie hackers. It turns keywords into blog posts at low per-article cost — including a bring-your-own-API-key option — and exports content as HTML or Markdown for you to publish wherever you like. Strategy, publishing, and measurement stay on your plate.

Key Differences
A generator vs a system
SEOAgent handles the full loop: audit the site, plan what to build, create pages and articles as real files in your repo, then measure results in Search Console and propose the next improvements.
Cuppa handles one step — drafting. Choosing keywords, publishing, interlinking, technical SEO, and measuring what worked are all separate manual jobs.
Cheap drafts are easy to get anywhere now (including directly from your coding agent). The compounding value is in the loop around them.
Where content lands
Articles and pages are created inside your project — your framework, your components, your internal links — and ship through your normal deploy. No copy-paste step.
Cuppa exports HTML or Markdown. Getting it onto your site, styled and interlinked correctly, is manual work for every article.
For a code-built site, the export-and-paste workflow is where cheap tools quietly get expensive in time.
Cost model
The Skill and CLI are free forever — audits and page building cost nothing. The $49 per-site cloud tier adds Search Console measurement, research, and review when you want the loop automated.
Cuppa is genuinely cheap per article, especially with your own API key. But every article still needs your time to publish, interlink, and track.
If budget is the only constraint, Cuppa wins on sticker price. If your time counts, SEOAgent’s free tier already does more end-to-end.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is SEOAgent a Cuppa alternative?
Yes — especially for indie hackers whose sites live in a repo. Cuppa generates cheap article drafts you publish manually; SEOAgent builds articles, landing pages, and technical SEO fixes directly in your codebase through your coding agent, and its cloud layer measures results in Search Console.
Cuppa is cheaper — why pay for SEOAgent?
SEOAgent’s local tier is free, so for auditing and page building you pay nothing. The $49 cloud tier buys the part no drafting tool includes: continuous Search Console measurement, competitor research, and reviewed update proposals — the loop that actually moves rankings.
Can my coding agent alone replace Cuppa?
Largely, yes — Claude Code or Cursor can draft articles without any tool. What they lack is SEO context: SERP research, keyword strategy, internal link planning, and performance data. The SEOAgent Skill adds exactly that, free.
How much does SEOAgent cost?
The Skill is free forever and runs locally. Pro is $49 per site per month and adds Google Search Console analysis, competitor and SERP research, and cloud review of suggested updates that sync back to your repo with one command.
