The Headline Studio WordPress plugin scores your post titles inside the WordPress editor, with the features of your Headline Studio plan. It also adds Headline Score and SEO Score columns to your Posts and Pages lists.
This is a different plugin from the CoSchedule calendar plugin, which connects your blog to your CoSchedule calendar. For that one, see Connect WordPress to CoSchedule.
