LotsBlog and Inblog are both hosted blog platforms with custom domains, built-in SEO, a REST API and an MCP server, so an AI agent can run the blog. The difference is how each is priced and who it's built around. Inblog is a company blog platform for SEO and lead capture: one blog per subscription from $39 a month, with the price rising from $39 to $79, $149 and $299 as the blog's page views grow, and the MCP server on the Team plan. LotsBlog is built so your AI agent writes and runs the blog: $9 per blog or $24 for three, with unlimited posts and page views, and the MCP server and REST API on every plan.

If you use ChatGPT, Claude or Claude Code to write, and you run one blog or several, LotsBlog is the better fit, and the gap grows with the number of blogs and the traffic each one gets. If you want your blog at `yourdomain.com/blog`, built-in lead forms, a Search Console integration or Notion import, look at Inblog.

Everything about Inblog below comes from its own website and documentation, checked on 10 October 2026, with links at the end.

## Where LotsBlog is the better choice

### One flat price per blog, whatever the traffic

LotsBlog charges for the number of blogs. Posts, page views and authors are unlimited, so a post that takes off doesn't change your bill.

Inblog's Team plan adjusts automatically from each blog's page views over the last 30 days, and its docs say there's no spending or traffic cap you can set. Here is what each costs per month at list prices, before any tax:

| Blogs | LotsBlog | Inblog, at its lowest tier ($39 each) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $9 (pay as you go) | $39 |
| 3 | $24 (Starter) | $117 |
| 10 | $69 (Pro) | $390 |
| 30 | $159 (Business) | $1,170 |

A single blog with 150,000 page views a month costs $149 on Inblog's Team plan and $9 on LotsBlog. Inblog says prices exclude VAT and other taxes, which are added at checkout.

### Several blogs under one price

Inblog's FAQ says subscriptions and traffic are calculated per blog, and that if one account runs several blogs, or separate blogs for different languages, each needs its own subscription. LotsBlog plans bundle blogs: 3 for $24, 10 for $69 or 30 for $159 a month, and pay as you go is $9 for each blog you hold.

### MCP and REST API on every plan

LotsBlog includes the MCP server and the REST API on every plan and on pay as you go. The REST API has 28 endpoints covering the same operations as the MCP tools: articles, topics, images, domains, analytics, scheduling and publishing, with an API key for scripts, CI or your own app.

Inblog's MCP connector needs the Team plan or higher, and its Free plan doesn't include the API, CLI or migration support. If you want your agent connected from the start, that's $39 a month per blog at Inblog.

### A longer free start, and nothing locked behind the trial

New LotsBlog accounts get 10,000 free credits, valid for 90 days, with no card. That's enough to run one blog for a month, with every feature. Inblog's trial is 14 days of the Team plan without a card, after which the blog moves to the Free plan, which has no custom domain, no Search Console integration and no MCP.

### A private guide your agent reads every session

Each LotsBlog blog has an optional private Markdown guide that holds your audience, voice, facts and rules. Your agent reads it through `get_blog` at the start of a session, so you don't repeat your rules in every chat. Drafts never publish until you say so, and scheduled posts go out on the next 15-minute check.

## What Inblog offers

**A broader connector.** Inblog's MCP connector exposes 38 tools: posts, tags and authors, traffic and search reports, blog settings, redirects, forms and design code. It signs in with OAuth, and Inblog is listed in the Claude Connectors directory and in ChatGPT's plugin catalog. Your blog role applies as-is, so an author can't change settings.

**Your blog at `yourdomain.com/blog`.** Inblog's home page says subdirectory hosting is available if your nameservers are on Next.js, Vercel, AWS Amplify, Webflow, Framer or Cloudflare. LotsBlog serves each blog on a subdomain or a custom domain you point to it.

**Lead capture and integrations.** Built-in lead forms with Zapier automation, a Google Search Console integration with search queries and indexing status, and Google Analytics.

**A team workspace.** Team roles and post version history, and Notion import for existing posts.

## Which one should you choose?

Choose **LotsBlog** if:

- You use ChatGPT, Claude or Claude Code to write and want it to run the blog.
- You run more than one blog, or may add some.
- You don't want your price to change with page views.
- You want the MCP server and REST API included from the first blog, whatever the plan.
- You want to try everything for a month without a card.

Choose **Inblog** if:

- You want your blog at `yourdomain.com/blog` on a supported host.
- You want built-in lead forms, Zapier and a Search Console integration inside the blog dashboard.
- You want your agent to edit your blog's design code and redirects through MCP.
