Starter through Growth include email support (Growth gets priority email). Enterprise adds a dedicated Slack and Teams channel, an account manager and an AI search strategist. Setup is self-serve per the integrations FAQ.
“Not listed” means the vendor’s public pages don’t mention that channel, not that it is unavailable. Ask about it during evaluation.

Frequently asked questions
What does Writesonic actually do?
It tracks how a brand is represented across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, scoring visibility, citations and sentiment, then uses AI agents and content workflows to fix gaps in content, schema and external citations. The vendor positions it as one platform for both traditional SEO and generative engine optimisation (GEO) rather than a monitoring-only dashboard.
How much does Writesonic cost?
Published list prices are $79/month (Starter), $199/month (Basic) and $399/month (Growth) when billed annually, plus a custom Enterprise tier. A 7-day free trial requires no credit card. Add-ons include +20 AI articles for $100/month and extra users at $50/user/month, and a fair usage policy applies. The Enterprise tier adds all 8 AI platforms, full Action Center access and a dedicated strategist.
How fast can a team go live?
Setup is self-serve. You connect an integration or paste the MCP URL and authorise via OAuth, and the vendor says most teams are asking real questions of their own data within about five minutes. The trial runs 7 days with no credit card, so a pilot is cheap to run before a paid commitment.
Does it fit our existing stack?
For common marketing stacks, yes. Writesonic ships 20+ native integrations including WordPress, Sanity, Contentful, Vercel, Cloudflare, Google Analytics, Google Search Console, Looker Studio, Ahrefs and Google Keyword Planner, plus a public REST API, webhooks and an MCP server for ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Codex and n8n. The integrations page states no engineer is required to install it.
What about security and compliance?
Writesonic's public pages state SOC 2 Type II, GDPR and HIPAA compliance with single sign-on, and it is hosted on Microsoft Azure. SSO/SAML is listed on the custom Enterprise tier only. The material available here does not include a dedicated trust or security page, so verify current certifications, retention terms and DPAs directly with the vendor before signing.
