Description
Stop paying inflated AI fees. WPWriter lets you generate complete, SEO-optimized WordPress content using your own AI API keys — with no token markup, ever.
Most AI writing plugins charge you per word or lock you into expensive subscriptions that include hidden AI costs. WPWriter uses a BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) model: connect your OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), or Google (Gemini) API key and pay the AI providers directly at their standard rates. You keep full control over your AI costs.
Get started free — 15 AI-generated posts and 20 AI-generated images to try the product. No credit card required.

FAQ
-
Is WPWriter free?
-
Yes! The free plan includes 20 AI-generated posts and 40 AI-generated images per month for one WordPress site. No credit card required. Paid plans unlock more sites, higher word counts, and additional features.
-
Do I need my own AI API key?
-
Yes. WPWriter uses a BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) model — you connect your own API keys for OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), or Google (Gemini). This means zero markup on AI costs. You pay the AI providers directly at their standard rates.
-
How is this different from other AI writing plugins?
-
Three key differences: (1) No token markup — you use your own API keys and pay providers directly, (2) 50+ AI models across 3 providers — pick the right model for each task, (3) Design control — a dedicated design step lets you control the visual layout of your content, not just the text.
-
No. This plugin uses secure token-based authentication. Your WordPress password is never transmitted or stored by WPWriter.

Will this slow down my WordPress site?

Which SEO plugins are supported?

Download it here: WPWriter Theme Setup. Requires the free Astra theme as a parent.
