Which to use
Frase wins when the deliverable is search content, briefs, and AI-visibility tracking, not a newsletter. Substack wins when you want a public publication with paid subscriptions, not an automation-heavy email platform. We could not confirm the fee.
- Choose Frase if you write or optimize pages to rank on Google and to be cited in AI answers.
- Choose Substack if you want to publish in public and turn on paid subscriptions, after you read the current fee terms.
