Alt Text Pro

Alt Text Pro is a WordPress-focused service for generating editable alt-text drafts, with an API for workflows outside WordPress. It is best suited to site owners who want human review before saving text and can match recurring image volume to a credit plan. Its strongest case is the combination of WordPress tools and flexible review; the main constraint is that processing is quota-based and uploads stop at 10 MB.

Overview

Generated alt text remains editable until a user reviews it and saves it to the WordPress media library. That puts an editorial check between generation and publication, a sensible fit for teams that do not want generated copy treated as final. Bulk processing addresses existing libraries, while the API opens the service to applications and websites that do not use WordPress.

Each successful generation uses one credit, and failed requests use none. This makes the allowance easier to estimate, but the plan choice still depends on image volume and the workflows required. JPEG, PNG, GIF, and WebP are supported, with a 10 MB maximum file size. Images are processed over encrypted HTTPS connections and are not stored on the service's servers afterward; its privacy policy also says data is encrypted in transit and passwords are securely hashed.

Key features

WordPress editing and batch work

Lite can generate text automatically when images are uploaded, but its single-image workflow is aimed at routine additions, not a backlog. Standard is the more useful tier for cleanup: it adds bulk media-library fixes and workflows for images in posts and pages. The editable-draft approach preserves a review step in either case.

Context and broader site workflows

Page context can guide generation toward more relevant drafts, but context-aware generation starts with Pro. Pro also includes WooCommerce workflows and custom post type support; Agency retains context and custom post type support while adding a multi-site-friendly workflow. Those features matter most to stores and multi-site operators, rather than a small site that only needs basic image descriptions.

API and support

The API supports integration into non-WordPress applications or websites, making Alt Text Pro more than a plugin-only option. Lite and Standard include email support, and subscribers can cancel from their dashboard. The 10 MB cap is worth checking against the source images in any large-image workflow.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing ($0/mo billed), with 15 credits and a 150-credit signup bonus that never expires, plus the WordPress plugin. It is a useful way to start, but the 15-credit recurring allowance is small for regular production.

Lite costs $4 a month ($4/mo billed) for 150 credits, auto-generation on upload, a single-image workflow, and email support. It suits modest ongoing uploads, but not bulk remediation. Standard costs $9 a month ($9/mo billed) for 1,000 credits, bulk media-library fixes, post and page image workflows, and email support; it is the more practical choice for a sizable library.

Pro costs $14 a month ($14/mo billed) and includes 2,000 credits, context-aware generation, WooCommerce workflows, and custom post type support. Agency costs $19 a month ($19/mo billed) for 3,500 credits, context-aware generation, custom post type support, and a multi-site-friendly workflow. The higher allowances and specialized WordPress features make these tiers a better fit for stores, larger publishers, and multi-site use.

Paid subscribers can buy a Small Credit Pack for $5, paid once ($5 for 500 credits); those credits never expire. Annual billing is offered for Lite at $43.20 a year ($43.20/year) for 150 credits per month, Standard at $97.20 a year ($97.20/year) for 1,000 credits per month, Pro at $151.20 a year ($151.20/year) for 2,000 credits per month, and Agency at $205.20 a year ($205.20/year) for 3,500 credits per month. Each annual plan saves 10%. The monthly allowances remain central to the calculation even with annual billing.

Platforms

Alt Text Pro offers a web service, an API, and a WordPress plugin. It supports WordPress media-library work as well as API integrations in other applications and websites.

Who it's for

Choose Alt Text Pro if you want editable drafts, a WordPress workflow, and a plan that can scale from occasional use to bulk work or multi-site needs. It is less compelling for users who need to process images larger than 10 MB or whose volume does not justify a recurring credit allowance.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Editable drafts keep a review step before media-library saving.
• Pros: Bulk fixes, post and page workflows, context, and WooCommerce support provide a clear upgrade path for WordPress teams.
• Pros: API access serves projects beyond WordPress, and failed requests do not consume credits.
• Pros: The paid credit pack never expires, offering a way to add capacity without changing the monthly allowance.
• Cons: Lite's 150 credits and single-image workflow make it a poor fit for clearing an existing backlog.
• Cons: The 10 MB upload ceiling excludes larger source files.
• Cons: The Free plan's 15 credits per month are limited for ongoing use despite the signup bonus.

Alternatives

Altagonist is worth considering for users who want a free allowance of 50 credits per month, support for 70 languages and all quality tiers, or a Windows platform. ALTtext.org offers a free allowance of 20 ALT texts per day across its website, Apple apps, and browser extension, making it a broader platform option for that usage pattern. AI Alt Text Builder has a free trial and a 25-token free tier; its own OpenAI API key allows unlimited single-image generations, which may suit users with that setup.

Alt Audit is an alternative for users seeking an API and web service with a Starter plan that includes 800 monthly credits, bulk processing, priority email support, and exports. AltGen provides a free monthly allowance of 26 credits alongside bulk upload, CSV import, page scraping, API access, webhooks, and an image library. AltText.io may suit users who want extension access and a Silver plan with 600 monthly credits, batch processing, advanced SEO, and priority email support. AltTextAPI offers a free 50-image monthly allowance in English with a REST API, usage dashboard, and API key management. AltTextLab is another API and extension option, with a free tier that includes 25 credits per month, unlimited websites, more than 20 integrations, and over 130 languages.

Verdict

Alt Text Pro is a strong fit for WordPress publishers who want human-editable drafts and a route from individual uploads to bulk cleanup, with an API for projects beyond WordPress. Its key advantage is that editorial review remains part of the workflow; look elsewhere if the 10 MB cap or credit-based allowances do not fit your image volume.
