Where Apex leads
- ▸7 AI engines vs 5 — covers Grok and DeepSeek, which Gossip doesn't touch.
- ▸First-class SEO module — keywords, SERP, technical, Core Web Vitals, backlinks, on-page. Gossip has no dedicated SEO surface.
- ▸A/B content-variant simulation — test two versions of a page across 7 engines before publishing.
- ▸Multi-brand portfolios with rolled-up dashboards and investor-grade PDFs.
- ▸Integration hub: Slack / Jira / Linear / Asana / GA / GSC. Gossip has none.
- ▸Public API available on lower plans; Gossip gates it behind Agency.
- ▸PayFast support for South-African and wider African buyers.
Where Gossip leads (honest)
- ▸Workflow Builder — visual agent chain to automate Audit → Generate → Publish loops. Apex doesn't ship this yet.
- ▸External-source Gap Finder (Google PAA, Reddit, Quora) returns real suggestions today. Apex's scaffold is ready but external sources light up only when their API keys are set.
