Koala AI Alternative for GitHub-Based Blogs
Koala AI is a suite of AI tools for SEO writing, images and internal linking, plus an MCP server, sold as one subscription priced by words per month (KoalaWriter).
Blogger Dog takes a narrower approach: it researches, writes and commits SEO/AEO posts straight into the GitHub or GitLab repo your site already builds from, then checks that each post is live. If your blog is not in a repo, Koala is likely the better fit.

- You want proof that a post is actually live on your domain, not only that an API call succeeded.
- You publish 10 to 90 posts a month and want a low per-post price ($1.10 to $1.90 on paid plans).
