Writesonic has changed category. The company that became known for its AI writing assistant now sells an AI search visibility platform: it shows which prompts recommend your competitors instead of you, helps fix that with AI agents and content, and measures the impact on pipeline. Its pricing page now leads with AI visibility tracking, and article writing has become one module among others.
The platform targets growth teams, agencies and enterprises, and says it is trusted by more than 10,000 marketing teams. Its main technical argument is that it crawls the real web interfaces of AI assistants every day, as a user would, rather than querying their APIs, so the answers match what buyers see. It also draws on a dataset of more than 2 billion AI conversations to estimate prompt volumes.

Sorank fits a business that wants the work done every week: 20 to 120 articles published on its CMS in topic clusters, one-way backlinks, competitor monitoring and AI tracking on up to five AI, for a fixed price per site.
