Which one is for you
Pick Searchable if
- Fits if you want tracking, articles and site audits on one bill
- Works for teams where many people need access, as projects and seats are unlimited on every plan
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if Gemini or AI Mode matter, as both are add-ons priced only through sales
- Tight if you need the API, Looker Studio or white-label reports, which start at Scale for $400 a month
- Not for you if you want live citations from Claude or Grok, as the Lite add-ons have web search off
- Watch out: Pro keeps only 12 months of data, and yearly prices are hidden until you flip the toggle
Pick Writesonic if
- Fits if you want the gaps found and the articles to fill them written in one place
- Works for solo marketers, since Starter is built for one user and one project
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if Perplexity, Claude or AI Mode matter, as all need Enterprise
- Pricey if your team grows, at $50 a month for each extra user, up to 5 in all
- Tight if you want sentiment, which starts at Growth for $399 a month
- Watch out: the full Action Center is Enterprise only, and Growth gets just a limited trial of it
- Too light for more than one market or project, as Starter allows one of each

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
