Before you pay

Who it is for

Writesonic now leads with tracking your visibility in AI search answers; the writing tools are no longer its focus. It suits a marketing team that wants to know whether ChatGPT or Perplexity mention its brand. A freelancer who only needs drafting will pay for monitoring they do not use.

What a year costs

Starter is $99 a month billed monthly, $1,188 a year, or $79 a month billed yearly, $948 a year. Basic is $249 a month, or $199 billed yearly; Growth is $499 a month, or $399 billed yearly. Our first reading, on 6 August, took the yearly figure; the record holds the monthly price since 12 September, a correction rather than a price rise.

What we would check before paying

Whether AI-search visibility is what you need; if it is writing, a general assistant costs far less. The free trial needs no card, so use it to see the reports on your own brand.

The limits to know

  1. Long-form can feel templated
  2. Credit system can run out quickly
  3. Output quality varies
  4. The product now leads with AI-search visibility tracking; the writing tools are no longer its focus

Evidence freshness

Each kind of check has its own clock and its own threshold. A price ages in weeks and a feature list in months; sharing one date between them would let an old review pass for a recent check.
