The same $79, two different jobs.The question is what for
Writesonic's Starter plan is $79 a month billed annually, and we start at $79 a month plus tax. Their money goes mostly into deep measurement of how AI answers mention you; ours is spread across writing, publishing, on-site fixes, your Google Business Profile and a monthly check in Google, Maps and AI answers.

When Writesonic is the better buy
In these cases take theirs
On visibility inside AI answers they are specialists and we are not. At the same price, they measure it more deeply.
When the whole question is whether AI mentions you
For the same $79 they follow 50 named prompts and measure 50 answers every day across ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews. Our check is monthly. If that is your central question, their answer is more detailed than ours.
When one or two engines are not enough
Their Enterprise tier covers nine platforms, among them Perplexity, Claude, Grok and Microsoft Copilot. We check three. For a brand measured across the whole AI landscape, that is a real gap.
When you want to try with nothing at stake
Their page reads "Start free. No credit card needed." We ask for no card either, but our trial is capped at seven days; their page states no length, so you may get longer to form a view.
The comparison
What each one does, taken from Writesonic's own pages
| What we compare | Go Top SEO | Writesonic |
|---|---|---|
| Price | From $79 a month plus tax. In Israel, from 249 ILS a month including VAT. | Starter $79 a month billed annually, Basic $199, Growth $399, Enterprise custom. Their pricing page shows no monthly-billed price. |
| What the entry plan includes | Every area is in the entry plan; what changes between plans is on the pricing page. | Starter: 50 prompts tracked, 50 answers tracked daily, 15 AI articles a month, 10 site audits of 100 pages each, 1 user and 1 project. |
| Who writes the articles | The system. Topics, text, images and internal links, after you approve. | Their system writes too. The pricing page meters "AI articles" per plan — 15 a month on Starter. |
| Publishing to the site | Automatic to WordPress and Shopify. | WordPress is the only publishing integration named on their homepage. |
| AI answers | An automatic monthly check in ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI. | Starter, Basic and Growth all track ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, with answers refreshed daily. All nine platforms — among them Perplexity, Claude, Grok and Microsoft Copilot — are on Enterprise. |
| Google rank tracking | A monthly check of your organic positions in Google. | Their homepage lists Google Search Console and Keyword Planner among the integrations. We did not find a page describing a classic keyword rank tracker. |

| Work on the site | Some fixes are applied through our plugin, with no code to read. | An Action Center that ranks opportunities and offers a one-click fix. On Starter, the agentic runs are listed as "Limited access (10 trial runs)". |

When we fit better
When the work has to get done, not only measured
Same price, different spread. We give up measurement depth to cover more of the work itself.
The local side as well
Posts to your Google Business Profile with your consent, drafted replies to reviews, and a monthly check of your position in Google Maps.
Shopify as well as WordPress
Automatic publishing to both platforms, with the same monthly report.
Nobody has to run it
A monthly topic plan you approve, and then it runs by itself — no prompts to configure, no dashboard to open.
Seven languages, Hebrew included
Interface, content and reports in your language, and in Israel a price in shekels with VAT included.
