Contently is best for those who have requirements for lots of content. It offers a great pool of talented freelancers who provide excellent content. Its SEO tools are very helpful to drive more traffic and engagement on the website. If you are looking for in-depth analytics for your published content, it can disappoint a little.

If you are someone who doesn't have internal resources or team members that can crank out content for you, this is a great resource to use. We ended up bringing someone in internally so we didn't need to freelance it anymore but this is such a great way to get one-off projects, large or small completed by someone without having to bring them onto your team.

Because I've been using it for over three years, and never had a single bite from a prospective client, I can't recommend Contently for that reason. This is the sad part, because this is what they are supposed to be suited for, but I've had no luck. The people I would (and have) recommended it to are those that need a free, online portfolio for clients, and also for journalists who are curious as to what specific outlets pay.

It's helpful for top of marketing funnel writing that we can sometimes lose sight of because we are so ingrained in the product day to day. Contently is also helpful for long written pieces and ebooks that will take a significant amount of employee time to put together.

I avoid using Contently for mid to bottom funnel marketing writing because my team will often have greater insight into the product function or use-case or product release, making them more adroit to the tone of the written piece and able to produce the content quickly.

What they are doing well is contently is making the lives of my content marketing team so much easier. My content marketing efforts use to feel held back by ineffective management systems, Contently is the perfect solution for us.

Ways they can improve is on the price. Contently requires a yearly subscription to access its software, and this can range anywhere from $30,000 to $150,000 a year—or even significantly higher. That is a lot of money for a small business like mine.

Contently is great for a freelancer looking to showcase their work and find new opportunities. It's a great place to summarize what you can do, as well as show off some of your best pieces and stories in a simple, easy to read way. It's a good place for content producers and editors to find your work and suggest new opportunities as well.

Contently is well suited for my line of work, as I need to showcase my portfolio and all of my writing. This made it easy and so I would recommend it to all of my writing friends trying to find a clean and refreshing way to show the world what they've written without having to build a website from scratch for themselves.
