Ten engines on the homepage, three on your plan.
Writesonic became an AI search visibility platform. SEOLadders tracks every engine they gate behind Enterprise, writes the content, and costs less than their entry plan.
The short version
Writesonic used to be an AI writer and is now a GEO platform. Its own pricing page is titled AI Search Visibility Platform, and the writing has become a sub-feature. It is a real company with a real product: YC-backed, profitable since a $2.6M seed, more than fifty staff and over ten thousand customers.
The catch is which engines you get. Every self-serve plan, at $99, $249 and $499 alike, tracks ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews. Perplexity, Claude, Copilot, Grok, DeepSeek and Meta AI are Enterprise only, and the homepage sells all ten.
The execution layer is throttled the same way. Their Action Center is unavailable on the two cheapest plans and runs as a trial of five off-page and five on-page actions a month on the $499 tier. Alerts, Page Tracker and content optimisation are Enterprise.
Pricing and features verified against the vendor's own pricing page on 16 September 2026. Vendors change both without notice, so check their live page before you decide.
A GEO platform with the engines gated, or one price with all of them
Both track AI answers. The question is how many engines you can see, and what you are allowed to do about it.
WritesonicTheir platform is broader than ours and built for larger teams. What it is not is a cheaper way to see the whole AI answer landscape.
Where each tool fits.
What Writesonic does well
- A genuinely deep GEO product: prompt explorer, brand explorer, sentiment analysis and competitive share of voice.
- Profitable since a $2.6M seed in 2021, YC backed, fifty plus staff. This is a real business, not a side project.
- More than two thousand reviews on Capterra at 4.8 out of 5, which is more public feedback than anyone else in this comparison.
- White-label reporting, SOC 2, HIPAA and SSO for agencies and enterprises that need them.
- Site audits at real scale, up to 2,500 pages on their $499 plan.
Why teams choose SEOLadders
- Claude and Perplexity are included rather than reserved for Enterprise. If you want to know what Claude says about you, that is the whole point of buying this.
- $97 a month against a $99 floor that gives you one user, one project and three engines.
- We write and publish as part of the same subscription, rather than fifteen articles a month as a side feature.
- Rank tracking is built in, so you do not need to keep a second subscription for it.
- One plan. Nothing that matters is behind a sales call.
