Writesonic
Tracks how your brand shows up in ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, audits your site, and drafts SEO articles from one dashboard.
What you'd use it for
Finding out whether ChatGPT and Gemini even mention your business, then drafting the articles and fixes to change that, without stitching together separate tracking and writing tools.
- Track how often and how favourably your brand is mentioned across ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, updated daily
- Benchmark your AI-answer presence against named competitors on the topics you choose
- Draft AI articles from the same tracked topics, capped by plan from 15 to 50 a month
- Run a site audit that flags on-page issues hurting AI-search visibility
- On Growth and above, let an Action Center make some of those on-page and off-page fixes rather than just list them
The verdict
Writesonic does something genuinely useful that neither a rank tracker nor a copywriter does alone -- it tells you whether ChatGPT and Gemini mention your brand at all, then gives you the article and audit tools to change that. The catch is the bundling -- tracking and writing are sold as one subscription, so a plan sized right for your topic count may still cap your articles below what a content team needs, or vice versa. It suits an operator who wants one visibility signal and is willing to buy both halves together rather than assembling best-of-breed tools for each job.

Where it breaks
Writesonic has repositioned around tracking AI-search visibility (ChatGPT, Gemini, AI Overviews) rather than pure content generation, so the tiers now bundle article writing with a monitoring product — read the tier limits carefully if you only want the writer.
Browser-based dashboard. Monthly billing is available at a higher rate than the annual figures above.
First entry in this reference. There is no previous check to compare it against.
When not to use it
Not for a team that mainly wants deep content output or classic Google-rank tracking: Jasper writes copy without a bundled monitoring product, and Semrush or Ahrefs track search rank more thoroughly. Not for anyone hoping to stay on it for free either -- the trial runs seven days, after which both tracking and writing sit behind a paid tier.
Writesonic used to be a straightforward AI copywriter and has become something stranger and more useful: a dashboard that watches what ChatGPT, Gemini and Google’s AI Overviews say about your business, alongside the article generator it built its name on.
That combination is not an accident. As more buying research happens inside a chat window instead of a search results page, “are we mentioned, and mentioned well” becomes a metric worth tracking the way rank position used to be tracked. Writesonic pairs that tracking with the tool to fix it — draft an article, run a site audit, and watch whether it moves the needle in AI answers over the following weeks.
What each tier actually buys
The jump from Starter to Basic is mostly about tracking depth — double the prompts, six times the tracked answers. The jump to Growth adds sentiment analysis and a trial of the Action Center, which can make on-page fixes rather than just report them. Enterprise is the only tier that covers all ten tracked AI platforms rather than the headline three.
Where this sits
Against Semrush or Ahrefs, the honest distinction is what’s being measured: those track Google rank, Writesonic tracks presence inside an AI answer. If you only want copy, not tracking, Jasper is a cleaner single-purpose buy.
