NewsMasher vs WP Automatic
01What is the difference between NewsMasher and WP Automatic?
WordPress Automatic Plugin, by ValvePress, is a WordPress plugin sold on CodeCanyon for a one-time $39 regular licence. It auto-posts to your WordPress site from almost anywhere: RSS feeds, Google News by keyword, topic or region, YouTube, TikTok, Amazon, eBay, ClickBank, AliExpress, Flickr, Facebook pages, Google Trends, Bing news and a multi-scraper for any site. It can rephrase, summarize or translate what it imports with AI, and it can write articles from your keywords with OpenAI, Gemini, Claude or DeepSeek, with featured images from GPT Image 2 or Gemini. The listing shows 42,858 sales and a 4.82-star rating, with updates since 2012 and six months of support.
NewsMasher is a news desk. You do not bring the keyword for each article; you bring the subject, and every morning it finds what is trending on it, reads the publisher's page, writes the story in your voice, publishes it with an image and tags, and writes a post for each of eight social networks. Credits per action, from $37 a month, no free trial, a 7-day guarantee.
If you run WordPress, want to import products, videos and feeds as well as news, and would rather pay once and configure campaigns yourself with your own API keys, WP Automatic is a lot of plugin for $39. If you want a hosted desk that finds the story, reads it, writes it as your own article, and posts it to eight networks with approval switches, that is NewsMasher.
02What is WP Automatic built to do?
WP Automatic is a WordPress plugin that imports feeds, Google News and stores, or writes from keywords.
- Campaigns that import to WordPress from RSS feeds, Google News (by keyword, topic, country, language and category), Google Trends, Bing news, YouTube, TikTok, Facebook pages, Amazon, eBay, ClickBank, AliExpress, Flickr and a multi-scraper for almost any site.
- AI article generation from your keywords with OpenAI, Google Gemini, Claude or DeepSeek, on your own API keys, with custom prompts; featured images with GPT Image 2 or Gemini.
- Rephrase, summarize or translate imported content with AI; Spintax posting; search and replace rules.
- Full-content extraction, author, tags and categories from feeds; skip posts without images; two post statuses, draft or published; posts set to pending when the plugin suspects the text is not English.
- Two ad slots inserted into every post automatically. WooCommerce products from Amazon with galleries and prices.
- Runs on the WordPress cron. Works from PHP 5.2.4 and WordPress 3.5 up.

03What is NewsMasher built to do?
NewsMasher is built to find the day's story on your subject, write it from the publisher's page in your voice, publish it and post it to eight social networks.
- Keyword Feeds search the day's news on your subjects, in your region, daily, twice a day or every other day. An AI editor scores every story, drops duplicates and never re-offers what you skipped.
- It reads the publisher's page before it writes, then writes the article in your Writing Profile's voice. A paywalled or blocked page is written from the headline and flagged for your review.
- A 4:3 feature image, tags and a category on every article. Publishes to MasherSites or any WordPress site, straight away or from a drag-and-drop review board.
- One post per article for X, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon and Pinterest, each written for its network, through Buffer or a Make or Zapier webhook.
- Five automation switches on every feed, all off by default: write, publish, social drafts, social send, ads.
- Social-only feeds for accounts with no blog. An ad desk that drops one of your own ads into every published article. The NewsMasher Clipper Chrome extension sends any article you are reading to your feed.
- One credit balance shared with MarketMasher and the rest of the Masher suite.
04Side by side
| WP Automatic | NewsMasher | |
|---|---|---|
| Where an article starts | A campaign you configure: a feed, a keyword, a Google News query, a store or channel search, or a site to scrape. | A trending story on the subjects you gave it. A Keyword Feed searches the day's news and an AI editor scores what it finds. |
| Reads a source before writing | It imports the source content itself, full or partial, then optionally rephrases, summarizes or translates it with AI. The source is what you pointed it at. | Every article. It reads the publisher's page first, writes in your own words, and flags any article it had to write from a headline alone. |
| Your voice | Custom prompts per campaign. No profile system. | Writing Profiles: who you are, how you write, your structure rules. One per brand, persona or client. Draft with AI writes the first one from your site. |
| Publishes to | The WordPress site the plugin is installed on. | MasherSites or any WordPress site. A drag-and-drop review board, or straight to the site. |
| Social posts | Not listed on the item page. | One post per article for X, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon and Pinterest, through Buffer or a Make or Zapier webhook. |
| Images | The source's image, or a generated one from GPT Image 2 or Gemini. | A 4:3 feature image on OpenAI GPT Image 2.5, or the publisher's own image when it carries no watermark or logo. |
| Internal links | Not listed. | The Auto-Internal-Link Mapper bonus suggests links from each new article to your existing posts. |
| SEO tooling | Not listed. | None, on purpose. No SEO score, no ranking promise. The page says: nobody can promise you rankings, and we will not. |
| Approval | Per campaign: publish, or save as draft and publish later; pending when the text does not look English. | Five switches on every feed (write, publish, social drafts, social send, ads), all off until you flip them. |
| Pricing model | A one-time licence per site, plus your own AI provider bills. | Credits per action. $37 a month with 1,000 starter credits, $297 a year, or $497 once with 7,000 credits. A finished article with a High quality image and its social posts is about 38 credits. No free trial; a 7-day money-back guarantee on every plan. |
| Free start | No trial. CodeCanyon's refund policy applies. | No free trial. Seven days, money back, on every plan. |
05Pricing, as published
WP Automatic, as published on codecanyon.net
| Plan | Price | What it buys |
|---|---|---|
| Regular licence | $39 once | One site, future updates, six months of support; extend support to twelve months for $12.75 |
| Your AI spend | Paid to the providers | OpenAI, Gemini, Claude or DeepSeek keys for generation; image models likewise |
NewsMasher, as published on newsmasher.com
| Plan | Price | What it buys |
|---|---|---|
| NewsMasher Monthly | $37 a month | 1,000 starter credits every month, every feature, cancel anytime |
| NewsMasher Annual | $297 a year | Twelve months for the price of eight, 1,000 starter credits every month |
| NewsMasher One Time Pay | $497 once, or 3 payments of $197 | 7,000 starter credits once, no monthly bill |
A typical NewsMasher article with a High quality image and its social posts costs about 38 credits, so 1,000 starter credits is about one finished article a day. Skipping a story costs nothing. When starter credits run out, Masher Credits take over. The rate you start at is the rate you keep. Prices on both sides were read on September 22, 2026 and can change; the linked pages are the source of truth.
06When is WP Automatic the better pick?
WP Automatic is the better pick when any of these is true:

NewsMasher is the better pick when any of these is true:

- One article should become eight social posts, each written for its network, without opening a social app.
- You publish to MasherSites as well as WordPress, or you want a review board across several sites.
- You want a hosted desk with nothing to install or update, and five approval switches per feed.

08How do I choose between WP Automatic and NewsMasher?
Choose by who picks the topics. If you pick them, you want a writer with SEO tooling, and WP Automatic is a fair place to look. If the day picks them, you want a desk that finds the story, reads it, writes it in your voice and posts it, and that is NewsMasher.
Whichever you choose, try it for a week. NewsMasher's week costs $37 and comes with the Seven Runs Guarantee: set one Keyword Feed, let it run seven days, and if you do not have articles you would put your name on, ask support for every dollar back.
