An AI article writer with references backs its claims with sources you can check. Autoblogging.ai does this two ways: the **fact checker** verifies the article’s claims and figures against live sources and can link to them, and **external links** point readers to relevant pages found during research. Here is how both work.

External Links and Fact Checker in the article form, each with its credit cost.

## Two kinds of references

| Feature | What it does | Options | Cost |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Fact Checker & Sources | Checks claims and figures in the article against live sources | Link to fact sources, or name the source only | +2 credits |
| External Links | Adds links to relevant outside pages found during research | Remove links after research | +1 credit |
| Fact Check an Article | Checks any article you paste, including ones written elsewhere | One click to fix flagged claims | 2 credits per check |

## How the fact checker works

- The article is written (from SERP research if you turn it on).

- Its claims and figures are pulled out and checked against live sources.

- Claims that do not hold up are flagged, with a one-click fix.

- With **Link to fact sources** on, sources become links in the article; with it off, the source is named without a link.

Fact Check an Article: paste any text and its claims are checked against live sources.

## Why references matter for SEO

- **Trust.** Readers and reviewers can check where a number came from.

- **Accuracy.** AI models can state wrong figures confidently; checking catches them before publishing.

- **AI answers.** Clear, sourced statements are easier for AI search to quote.

## How it compares

| Tool | References | Fact checking |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Autoblogging.ai | Linked fact sources and external links | Yes, built in and standalone |
| Machined | Citations (stated) | Not stated |
| Frase | Research-based (stated) | Not stated |
| ChatGPT / Claude | Depends on the prompt and plan | Manual |

- **Pricing:** Free plan with 10 credits a month (no card). Paid plans: Starter $19 (40 credits), Regular $49 (120), Standard $99 (300), Gold $179 (600), Premium $249 (1,000), Enterprise $999 (5,000). Annual billing saves 35%, which takes Enterprise to $649 a month. Unused credits roll over while you are subscribed.

- **Cost per article:** A standard article costs 1 credit. In the bulk writer, adding SERP analysis costs 1 more credit, and AI images 1 more. So an article is about $0.48 on Starter and $0.13 on Enterprise billed yearly, or $0.95 and $0.26 with SERP analysis.
