Rytr Review

What is it?

Rytr is a simple AI writer that takes minutes to learn.

With Rytr, you can create entire articles, product descriptions, advertisements, and more in a fraction of the time it would take without an AI assistant.

It’s also the most affordable AI on the market for individuals.

We’ll cover every feature, look at real content samples, and more in this detailed Rytr review.

First, here’s a quick look at some of the most important features of Rytr.

How does it work?

Rytr has a simple system for generating text.

On the left side of the dashboard, you can select a Use Case, which is the type of content you want to generate, like an ad or email. On the right side is where all of your documents will appear.

Once you’ve selected a use case (there are over 30+), like a product description, all you have to do is write some input text on the left side, and Rytr will generate 1-3 variations on the right side.

Here’s an example of two product descriptions created by Rytr:

You can generate additional variations by clicking the “Ryte more” button again, and they’ll show up below the previously generated text.

When it comes to writing long-form content, the steps are a bit more complex.

You can generate more text and rewrite as needed to write full-length articles.

Now let’s talk about some of the unique differences between Rytr and other AI writers.

How is it different?

There are a few things that set Rytr.me apart.

For starters, it has an extremely simple interface that requires very little input to generate text.

Secondly, it’s the only AI writer that lets you create your own templates for AI text generation, which you’ll see later in this Rytr review.

And lastly, it has the most affordable unlimited plan of any AI writer reviewed on this site.

Content Samples

Below are content samples taken directly from Rytr. The first four are blog posts followed by a product description and taglines.

These samples were copied from Rytr without any edits whatsoever.

How these samples were created

To create the first four samples, the Blog Idea & Outline use case was used. The Paragraph button was used to generate the text in each section.

The last two samples were created by entering the required text and clicking the “Ryte for me” button once.

By the way, if you have any questions about these samples or the content generated by Rytr, feel free to get in touch with me.

Content quality rating

After reviewing the content samples above closely, these are the ratings I’ve given to Rytr.

Factual accuracy

This was difficult to score because Rytr has a Creativity setting that essentially decides how accurate the facts are. I took off two stars because the default “Optimal” setting results in very few facts and minor inaccuracies.

For example, using the Optimal setting, it was rare for Rytr to include any hard facts, like in the third sample where it says there are 7,500 varieties of tomatoes. However, upon a quick Google search, all the top results said there are over 10,000. Rytr is still technically correct but could be closer to the truth.

The bigger problem was the lack of facts altogether. With Creativity set to Optimal, there were hardly any insights included in the content. However, I found that when switching the Creativity level to “None,” the articles came out much better, and I would give it a 4-star rating using that setting.

Intelligibility

Most of what Rytr wrote made sense, but there were occasional gaffs.

A recurring flaw was the writer not understanding its place in the article and writing multiple introductions late in the copy. There was also one section in the Philadelphia article that switched to the first-person perspective.

Additionally, the conclusion for the third content sample ended up being a description of what a conclusion is rather than a fitting conclusion for the article.

Repetitiveness

The copy is a bit repetitive within blog sections, but incredibly repetitive when comparing across the entire article.

Even with similar keywords being used for each section, there should be more sentence variety from one section to the next.

Flow & readability

The sentence structure was often choppy, with too many simple sentences in a row.

Occasionally, the copy flowed really well from one sentence to the next, but this only occurred in about 1/4 of the article sections.

Spelling & grammar

There were some missing commas in the copy, but I didn’t find anything misspelled. Overall, the grammar was quite sound, and any mistakes could be easily corrected with a quick pass through Grammarly.

Overall content quality

Overall, Rytr’s content is average.

Keep in mind that when you use Rytr, you can quickly regenerate any text you don’t like, and I am not showcasing the best that Rytr can offer. I’m generating text once and leaving it as is.

And that brings me to the most important part.

All AI-generated text needs to be edited. That’s true of every AI writer reviewed on this site. The difference between excellent AI content and average AI content is how easy it is to edit into something publishable.

If the AI gives you factually rich and unrepetitive content, you get to skip the research phase and simply clean up the style and grammar of the text.

The trouble with Rytr’s text is that it doesn’t include enough factual information to expand upon, and there is too much repetition. This means you’ll have to delete entire sections and come up with new ideas on your own. Ideally, you don’t have to create new content, you only have to edit what you’ve got.

On the other hand, I can’t be too harsh because Rytr consistently returned relevant and grammatically sound content. It also does a nice job with persuasive copy like taglines and ads, which require a totally different style.

Lastly, the results I got from switching the Creativity setting to None were significantly better than the Optimal setting. You can see this in the 4th content sample above. I would recommend using the same settings for all of your articles.

Other features

Pricing

Rytr.me advertises itself as a free AI writer that you only need to pay for when you scale, but I find this to be disingenuous. You only get 5,000 characters/month for free, which is a tiny sample. During my testing, I wrote one sample article and immediately used 5,500 characters.

With that said, Rytr’s pricing is very affordable.

You get 50K characters/month for just $9/month or unlimited characters for only $29/month.

This is an extremely low price for unlimited text generation. However, Rytr does not allow multiple users on an account, so it will cost $29/month per writer for a team.

Final take

If you’re a solo writer looking for an affordable and accessible AI writer, Rytr will be a smart choice because it’s very easy to learn and has the cheapest unlimited plan of any AI tool available.

For teams, Rytr won’t be a good choice because each member needs their own account. This makes it impossible to collaborate on documents, and it will likely cost more than alternatives that allow multiple users on a plan.

While Rytr’s pricing and ease of use make it an appealing AI writer, it does suffer with content quality. There are other writers that generate text that is more factual and dynamic, so they may be worth reviewing before you make a final choice.

In the end, Rytr has a solid set of features, and it’s extremely low price makes it a logical choice for many looking to get started with AI content creation.

Best alternatives

Jasper uses a similar system to Rytr where you generate outlines and fill in text, but it also allows for teams and collaboration. The content quality is also better, and it works for both short- and long-form content.

Article Forge is much different. It takes a keyword and generates an entire article of 700+ words all at once on its own. This gives you less creative control but enables bulk article generation, and the content itself is highly factual and insightful.

FAQ

How much content can I generate with 50,000 characters?

In my testing, I used roughly 1,000 characters to generate an article without regenerating any text. You will likely want to expand upon the article and regenerate text, so an article could take 3,000 or more words to generate.

Short form content, like a product description, takes about 300 characters per variation.

In summary, you could write about 17 articles or 167 product descriptions per month on the Saver plan.

Is the text truly original?

Yes, the text is original.

I checked multiple articles and individual article sections using Copyscape, and zero results were returned every time.
