Frase vs Writesonic

Frase: AI visibility tracking is included in every plan starting at $49/mo. Even the Starter plan tracks 2 AI platforms with 50 prompts. As you scale, tracking expands to 5 platforms on self-serve plans (8 on Enterprise) with up to 500 prompts. Every user gets GEO from day one.

Writesonic: The Lite ($49/mo), Standard ($99/mo), and Free tiers do not include any GEO features. All AI visibility monitoring — citation gap analysis, Action Center, sentiment analysis, and AI platform tracking — requires the Professional plan ($249/mo) or higher.

Frase: Unlimited AI writing on all paid plans. No article caps, word limits, or credit systems. Write as much content as your team needs without managing usage or worrying about overages.

Writesonic: Article-based limits — 15/month on Lite, 30 on Standard, 100 on Professional, unlimited on Advanced (fair-use policy). Teams with high content volume need to plan carefully or upgrade. AI Agent generations are unlimited on Standard+ with fair-use policy.

Writesonic: At the Professional tier ($249/mo) and above, Writesonic offers one of the most comprehensive GEO monitoring suites available. Citation gap analysis identifies sources citing competitors but not you, with ready-made outreach email templates. The Action Center prioritizes recommendations by effort and impact. Sentiment analysis tracks how AI engines perceive your brand. Bot crawler analytics monitor real AI bot visits at the page level.

Frase: Frase's GEO approach focuses on the closed Content-to-Citation loop — detect where AI isn't citing you, diagnose why, generate a content brief to fix it, and track the improvement. This creation-to-citation workflow is unique, but Frase does not offer citation gap analysis with outreach templates or sentiment analysis.

Frase: The Frase Agent handles end-to-end content workflows through natural language. Describe what you want — "research competitors for this keyword, create a brief, write the article, and check AI visibility" — and the Agent orchestrates it across 80+ specialized skills.

Writesonic: Offers an SEO & Content AI Agent alongside template-based content tools. Writesonic's approach combines AI-powered article writing with structured SEO workflows. Both platforms are moving toward agentic content creation, with different execution philosophies.

Frase: Full developer ecosystem — REST API with 50+ endpoints (OpenAPI 3.1.0), MCP server with tools for research, creation, optimization, auditing, and AI visibility tracking, and webhook API with 9 event types. Built for teams that want to integrate content intelligence into their existing workflows programmatically.

Writesonic: API access available from the Lite plan ($49/mo). Writesonic focuses on its own platform experience rather than extensive third-party integration tooling. No MCP server or webhook API equivalent.

Frase: The Content-to-Citation workflow is a closed loop unique to Frase. Detect where AI engines aren't citing you → diagnose why using competitive analysis → generate a content brief to fix the gap → write and optimize the content → track whether citations improve. The entire cycle happens within one platform.

Writesonic: Excels at the monitoring and diagnosis side — citation gap analysis, sentiment tracking, competitive benchmarking — but the remediation workflow (fixing the gaps) relies on separate content creation within the same platform rather than a structured detect-to-fix loop.

Both platforms offer GEO and AI visibility features, but with different access points. Frase includes AI visibility tracking from its Starter plan ($49/mo), monitoring 2–5 AI platforms by tier with the Content-to-Citation workflow. Writesonic gates all GEO and AI visibility features behind the Professional plan ($249/mo), which includes comprehensive monitoring across 10+ AI engines, citation gap analysis, Action Center, and sentiment analysis. The Lite ($49/mo) and Standard ($99/mo) plans do not include any GEO capabilities.

Frase starts at $49/month (Starter) with AI visibility included. Writesonic starts at $49/month (Lite) but GEO features require the Professional plan ($249/month) — a 5x price difference for AI visibility access. Both offer annual discounts. At the mid-tier, Frase Professional ($129/month) includes 40 articles, 3 AI platforms, and bot analytics. Writesonic Professional ($249/month) includes 100 articles and full GEO monitoring across 10+ AI platforms. Frase includes AI visibility at every tier; Writesonic concentrates GEO capabilities in its premium tiers.

Writesonic's GEO monitoring at the Professional tier ($249/mo) and above is among the most comprehensive available: 10+ AI platforms tracked, citation gap analysis with ready-made outreach emails, an Action Center with prioritized recommendations, bot crawler analytics, sentiment analysis, and bulk prompt management. Writesonic also offers a managed Human + AI SEO Service ($2,000/mo) that Frase does not.

Frase offers unlimited AI writing on all paid plans — no word limits or credit system. Writesonic uses an article-based model: 15 articles/month on Lite, 30 on Standard, 100 on Professional, and unlimited on Advanced (fair-use policy). Frase includes brand voice control, content governance, and in-editor image generation (10–100 images/mo by plan). Writesonic includes Photosonic (integrated image generation) and supports 30+ languages.

Yes. Some teams use Writesonic for deep GEO monitoring and citation gap analysis while using Frase for content creation, site-wide auditing, and the Content-to-Citation workflow. Frase's API (50+ endpoints), MCP server, and webhooks (9 event types) make it easy to integrate into multi-tool workflows.
