Writesonic in three lines
- Writesonic started as an AI writer and now sells an AI search visibility platform: it tracks where you are missing, then offers to write the article that fills the gap.
- Starter is $99/mo month to month ($79 billed annually): 50 prompts, 150 answers tracked daily, 15 AI articles and 10 site audits a month.
- Strong if content production is your bottleneck. Weak on coverage: ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews only, unless you sign an Enterprise contract.

What does Writesonic actually do?
Visibility tracking
A visibility score with its trend and your position by platform, for your brand and competitors. Tracking is daily on every plan. Starter covers one market (one language and country).
What the answers say
Prompt by prompt, the answers and how your brand is described. Sentiment analysis as a feature is listed from the Growth plan, so on Starter and Basic you read the answers yourself.
Citations
The domains and pages the engines cite, which is the list to work from for outreach. Enterprise adds Citation Decay, Social Citations and an Outreach Agent.
Action Center and content
The Action Center turns gaps into on-page, off-page and technical tasks. It is limited below Enterprise (Growth gets 5 off-page and 5 on-page actions a month). What you do get on every plan is the writer: 15 to 50 AI articles a month, and 20 more for $100 a month.
Which AI engines does Writesonic track?
Writesonic says Starter, Basic and Growth track ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, and Enterprise tracks all 8 platforms: those three plus Google AI Mode, Perplexity, Claude, Grok and Muse Spark.
| Engine | On the Starter plan |
|---|---|
| ChatGPT | Listed |
| Perplexity | Not listed on this plan |
| Gemini | Listed |
| Google AI Overviews | Listed |
| Google AI Mode | Not listed on this plan |
| Claude | Not listed on this plan |
| Microsoft Copilot | Not listed on this plan |
What are the limits of each plan?
Prompts (50, 100, 200), answers tracked daily (150, 300, 600), users (1, 2, 3) and projects (1, 1, 2). Agentic workflows are "limited access" with 10, 50 and 100 trial runs. AI search volume data is 5 one-time runs on the lower plans.
What you get on the Starter plan
- Price: $99/mo ($79 a month billed annually)
- Volume: 50 prompts, 150 answers tracked daily
- Engines: Starter, Basic and Growth track ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews. Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Mode, Grok and Muse Spark are Enterprise only.
- Refresh: Daily
- Seats: 1 user on Starter; extra users $50 each a month
- Free trial: Free trial (length not stated)
Integrations, API and export
Integrations listed: Google Search Console, WordPress, GA4. Looker Studio and "other integrations" are on Enterprise. There are MCP and API docs on the site, but the pricing table does not put an API in the self-serve plans, so we do not count one. Agencies have a separate offer: $200 a month for 20 pitch projects, and white-label reporting on a custom Agency Enterprise plan.
How do you get started?
"Start free. No credit card needed," says the pricing page, without giving the trial length. Add your brand, pick prompts, and the first audit and articles are available from the same dashboard.
Which costs are easy to miss?
- The headline price is annual billing: month to month is $20 to $100 more.
- Extra users: $50 each a month (up to 3 on Starter).
- Sentiment: Growth. More engines: Enterprise.
Questions to ask Writesonic before you sign
- How long is the free trial?
- Can I add Perplexity alone to a Growth plan?
- Is there an API on the self-serve plans?
Strengths and the catch
What we like
- Tracking, 15 AI articles and 10 site audits a month in the same $79 to $99 plan
- Ads monitoring for ChatGPT and Google AI answers from the first plan
- The Action Center turns gaps into on-page and off-page tasks (limited below Enterprise)
- SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA and SSO exist at Enterprise level
The catch
- Three engines only until Enterprise, sentiment starts at the Growth plan and Starter has a single seat.
- Not for: anyone who needs Perplexity or Claude data without a custom contract
