The questions people type into search
AnswerThePublic takes a keyword and returns the questions, prepositions and comparisons people search around it, which is a content calendar's worth of titles in one query. The wheel graphic is the famous part and the export is the useful part. Free use is capped at three searches a day, and the paid plans are counted in searches rather than in seats.

Article writing, aimed at getting cited by AI
Writesonic sold itself as an AI writer for years and now sells itself as an AI search visibility platform, which is the same article generator plus tracking of whether ChatGPT and its competitors mention you when somebody asks. The writing half still works and still produces articles at volume. The pricing has moved with the positioning, and the entry plan now costs what a mid tier used to.
Our note
This is no longer the budget AI writer people bookmarked in 2023, and the pricing reflects the new positioning rather than the old one. If you want articles written, Jasper and Copy.ai are the comparison; if you want to know why an assistant recommends a competitor, this is a narrower and more current answer.
