Writesonic has rebuilt its pricing around AI search visibility (GEO), tracking how brands appear in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. The new plans are Starter $79, Basic $199 and Growth $399 per month on yearly billing. The free plan has been replaced by a free trial with no credit card. We spotted the change in our September 27 re-check.
