- Your AI agent publishes directly: CLI, skill or hosted MCP

How we tested: DropInBlog adds a blog to an existing website with an embed. We compared it with 5 alternatives on hosting, AI-agent publishing, SEO and price.
Should you switch from DropInBlog?
The short answer, before the details.
You're a founder or small team, you want your AI agent to write and publish posts, and $159+/month for a blog is more than you need.
You run content for an agency or a large team and need roles, audit logs, staging and SSO.

Why people switch from DropInBlog
What we hear from founders who moved their blog to Blogizi.
Price
A founder publishing a few posts a month doesn't need a $159+/month team plan.
Agent-first writing
They want Claude or Codex to write and publish, not to paste into an editor.
A real blog URL
A hosted blog on blog.yourapp.com or /blog instead of an embed.
Search-driven topics
Pick topics from Search Console instead of guessing.
How Blogizi is different for DropInBlog users
The same hosted, SEO-ready blog on your own domain. The writing moves to the agent you already use.
From $9/month
Solo covers one blog and 100k pageviews; Pro adds Search Console for $19.
Agents publish directly
CLI, skill and a hosted MCP with Blogizi sign-in. Drafts by default.
Your domain, two ways
CNAME a subdomain or proxy yourapp.com/blog. No script embed.
The growth loop
Your agent reads Search Console and writes for page-2 queries.

How to move from DropInBlog to Blogizi
5 steps, most of them done by your agent. Keep your slugs and your rankings carry over.
- 1
Export your posts
Export from DropInBlog, or ask your agent to fetch each post via their API.
- 2
Convert to markdown
Have your agent turn each post into markdown with Blogizi frontmatter, keeping the same slugs.
- 3
Draft everything
Run blogizi draft for each file (or let the agent loop through them) and review in the dashboard.
- 4
Point your domain
CNAME blog.yourapp.com, or proxy yourapp.com/blog, to Blogizi. Same slugs keep your URLs.
- 5
Publish and remove the embed
Publish, check Search Console for crawl errors, then remove the DropInBlog snippet.
Let your agent do the move
Point it at the export folder. It converts each post, keeps the slug and drafts it on Blogizi for you to review.
> Convert every post in ./dropinblog-export to markdown with Blogizi frontmatter, keep the slugs, and draft them all. $ blogizi draft posts/*.md
