Keelyn Hart
Content Writer at Letterdrop

TL;DR:

  • Jasper.ai stands out with more integrations for editing and SEO, the ability to use PDFs and URLs for business context, a Chrome extension, and a long-form writing assistant.
  • Copy.ai stands out with the ability to repurpose more content from a single asset than Jasper, and having more templates
  • The Letterdrop AI is a full-fledged content ops machine that helps automate all aspects of content creation and optimization.

When it comes to generative AI writing assistants, Jasper.ai and Copy.ai are very close contenders.

They're built on similar LLMs (Large Language Models), offer great templates to kickstart your writing, and let you add context on your business to make their outputs more relevant to you.

But what sets them apart from one another, and which one is best suited to what you're looking for?

We'll take a deep dive into how the tools are similar and highlight their standout features before making our recommendation.

We'll even explain why neither may be the best choice considering how AI and SEO are going.


How Jasper.ai and Copy.ai Are Similar

Since both Jasper and Copy.ai are gen-AI tools, it's natural that they have similar operating models and overlapping features.

Knowing how they're similar will help you spot truly unique and helpful offerings to guide you in making your final choice.

Both Jasper and Copy.ai:

  • are AI model agnostic, which means they're built on a combination of LLMs (Large Language Models) including OpenAI's GPT-4. If one of the models go down, both tools can switch to other options
  • access real-time Google data to keep your outputs relevant and up-to-date
  • have content storage so that you can save your projects in the tool itself
  • let teams collaborate with multiple seats and on-page editing

Jasper.ai's Standout Features

Jasper was founded in 2011, and among its gen AI offerings, it also has an AI image generator, an AI writing assistant, a chatbot (Jasper Chat), and an API.

So, which features in particular make it stand out from Copy.ai?


Standout Feature 1: More Integrations for Editing and Basic SEO Checks

Jasper's integrations can help you both write and edit your content.

It integrates with Surfer SEO so you can get basic SEO guidelines as you write to keep you on track. It also has a built-in plagiarism checker.

These features save you from outsourcing the basics, although we always recommend a more in-depth SEO tool that goes beyond keyword relevance.

Standout Feature 2: You Can Use PDFs and URLs for Business Context

You can add context on your brand in Jasper in four ways:

  • Uploading a file, such as a document
  • Uploading a PDF
  • Raw text
  • Adding a URL

Jasper moving toward multi-modal input is a good thing as it will allow for even more specific and accurate outputs.

Copy.ai only allows PDF and raw text inputs at the time of writing.

Standout Feature 3: Jasper Has a Chrome Extension

Jasper's handy Chrome extension means you can use the AI on the go, whether drafting emails, writing for socials, and more.

It also gives you quick access to all of its templates.

Standout Feature 4: Jasper Has a Long-Form Assistant

Jasper's on-page, long-form writing assistant is arguably one of its best offerings.

You can give Jasper instructions on what you want written, and work from the output it gives you.

Two quick caveats:

  • These outputs aren't always the greatest quality, so they're more jumping-off points
  • You need to pay for Jasper's Boss Mode to access it

Who is Jasper Best For?

Jasper's templates make it easy for any team to create content at scale quickly. But it's writing assistant is a game changer for writing pretty good quality long-form content.

This in combination with its price point make it best for medium to large teams of marketers and content writers.


Copy.ai's Standout Features

What Is the Best Alternative to Jasper AI?

While both Jasper and Writer can help you scale your content efforts, ChatGPT can pretty much repurpose anything for free for you.

Are Jasper and Copy AI better than ChatGPT? Only marginally.

It's also worth noting that both tools can produce outputs that are repetitive and full of mistakes, which is why it’s so important you use results as building blocks rather than take them as they are.

They also focus too heavily on features for brand voice when AI should be doing so much more for you than that.
