Nota

Tool
DescriptionNota has created a suite of tools that can help publishers optimize content for digital audiences. By integrating directly with Wordpress, it can help speed up digital production time by assisting with writing headlines, summaries and metadata for stories before they are published. Nota also offers a browser plugin that works with non-Wordpress sites. It also includes tools for creating social videos, images, social language and newsletter text. News organizations will appreciate the specifity of controls over voice and tone, which allow superusers to set parameters by section rather than setting the same tone for the entire site.
Lowest Monthly CostNota has a grant program available for the smallest news publishers, which reflects the $99/month cost. The company offers pricing for single publications based on production volume. And for larger companies with a portfolio of brands, they offer usage-based pricing. Monthly or annual billing available.
