Why teams outgrow Byword
Byword is a powerful tool for 'Programmatic SEO' text generation, allowing users to pump out thousands of articles. However, these articles often suffer from 'Wall of Text' syndrome.
Byword does not generate complex data visualizations, custom infographics, or brand-specific imagery to break up the reading experience. This leads to high bounce rates.
Additionally, Byword is disconnected from strategy; it generates what you tell it to, but it doesn't help you plan *what* to generate based on 'Competitor Analysis' or site architecture.
A content production engine — not just a database.
Decipher CMS matches the programmatic scale of Byword but adds the 'Visual' and 'Strategic' layers. Our 'AI Image & Visual Creation' ensures that every programmatic page has unique, relevant imagery.
We include 'Automated Keyword Research' and 'Competitor Analysis' to guide your generation strategy, ensuring you are targeting low-difficulty, high-intent terms. Decipher’s 'Unlimited Topical Maps' allow you to visualize the cluster before you build it, preventing keyword cannibalization.
Add visuals and strategy to your programmatic scale. Choose Decipher.
Enterprise-grade architecture —
without the enterprise complexity.
Byword pushes content to your CMS via API. Decipher *is* the CMS.
By hosting on 'Google-Backed' infrastructure, we eliminate the API latency and failure points. We offer 'Identity Aware Proxy' (IAP) to secure your programmatic campaigns while they are in draft mode, allowing for internal QA of thousands of pages before they go live—a workflow that is difficult to manage with external API push tools.
Pricing that doesn't punish growth.
Transparent plans that scale with your content — not against you.

Total Cost of Ownership
Byword charges per credit (article). Scaling to 1,000 articles can cost thousands of dollars.
Decipher’s **$99.99/month** plan offers 'Unlimited Use' of the generation tools. You can generate 1,000 or 10,000 pages for the same flat fee.
This 'Fixed Cost' model is essential for programmatic SEO, where margins rely on keeping content production costs near zero.
