These templates range from generating compelling personal and company bios to creating informative Pros and Cons lists and crafting engaging Quora answers. Moreover, users have the flexibility to build a no-code customized AI chatbot (Botsonic) or utilize a Chat GPT-like interface (Chatsonic) for seamless content creation.

Articles and Blogs Generation

In the Articles and Blogs section, Writesonic offers users 14 diverse templates to assist them in their content generation tasks:

Article Writer

Writesonic offers users three distinct Article Writer templates specifically designed for generating blog posts ranging from 1500 to 3000 words. For first-time users, selecting the appropriate template can be a bit overwhelming. Here’s a brief overview of the three templates:

1. A.I Article Writer 5.0: This template is ideal for generating up-to-date articles of approximately 2500 words. You can achieve this by using your competitor’s articles as reference or inputting your existing content.

2. A.I Article Writer 4.0: Use this template when you need SEO optimized articles that are 3000 words long. It requires some manual input in terms of selecting keywords, tone, and CTAs.

3. A.I Article Writer 3.0: This template generates articles of 1500 words. It follows a 4-step process where you select an introduction, outline, and then generate the article.

Users have the flexibility to switch between Premium (GPT 3.5) and Superior (GPT 4) versions in the 3.0 and 4.0 templates. However, the 5.0 version only supports the Superior quality, which consumes 3x more word credits.

Blog Titles

It’s extremely easy to generate blog titles as well. Users have the option to select the language, quality and the number of blog titles that they want to generate.

Article Titles, Ideas, Outlines, Intros, Paragraphs and Conclusion Generator

In addition to generating complete articles, Writesonic offers the flexibility to utilize templates for specific sections of your blog. This allows you to conserve your credits while still benefiting from the tool’s capabilities. With Writesonic, you can generate blog intros, paragraphs, or conclusions individually.

Moreover, you can also instantly generate article ideas and outlines as a starting point for your content creation.

Ads and Marketing Tools

Writesonic has a library of seven templates that can help you generate ads and marketing materials for Facebook, LinkedIn, Google, apps, and SMS. All of the ad templates require similar inputs, such as the product name and description, occasion, and promotion.

All ad templates require similar information, such as the product name and description, occasion, and promotion. However, some ad templates, like Facebook Ads, also let you customize the language, quality, and emojis in your ad copy.

Ecommerce

With this functionality, you can swiftly generate captivating and customized product descriptions within minutes. Writesonic offers a general product description template for your e-commerce website and specific templates tailored for Amazon product listings.

I personally found no discernible distinction between the content generated by the two templates, indicating that both can be utilized interchangeably.

Crafting product descriptions is a simple process of inputting a title, brief description, desired tone, and targeted keywords. Based on my experience, generating product descriptions takes less than a minute.

Social Media

With 14 different templates available, Writesonic simplifies the process of generating content for various social media platforms.

Here are a few examples of the templates provided by the tool:

• Twitter tweets & threads: With this functionality, you can easily craft engaging tweets and threads for your Twitter account, ensuring maximum engagement with your audience.
• Content Plan: This feature allows you to produce social media content plans to help you achieve your marketing objectives.
• Instagram Captions and Hashtags: Generate your Instagram post captions and hashtags within seconds using just an image description.
• LinkedIn Posts: Convert an product/service post idea into an engaging piece of content instantly and post it on your LinkedIn account.
• Youtube: Writesonic has a range of templates to help you build your Youtube collateral efficiently. With its Youtube templates, you can generate video ideas, titles, descriptions, intros and even video outlines.

Website Copy

Within the Website copy section, there are 8 distinct templates available, with 2 of them being particularly useful:

1. SEO Meta Tags v2: While Writesonic offers 4 templates for generating SEO Meta Tags, this single template is capable of fulfilling the tasks of the remaining templates. I’m not sure why the other templates are still included. To generate SEO Meta tag ideas, you only need to provide a brief page description, select the page type, input keywords, and specify the desired content quality.

2. Landing Pages: This feature enables you to quickly generate landing pages. While the quality of these landing pages may not match those developed by professionals, they provide a solid foundation upon which you can further build and improve.

General Writing

In the general writing section, Writesonic provides a range of versatile templates that cater to diverse requirements. These templates encompass a wide range of tasks, including generating captivating personal and company bios, crafting informative Pros and Cons lists, and creating engaging Quora answers.

An especially notable feature is Botsonic, which empowers users to generate their personalized AI chatbot without requiring any coding knowledge. Users have the flexibility to train the chatbot on their own data and seamlessly embed it on their websites. It’s important to note that access to Botsonic is available exclusively for users on the paid plan.

Integrations

• Surfer SEO Integration: The tool can be integrated with Surfer SEO so that the AI-generated content can be further optimized for SERPs. A separate Surfer SEO subscription is needed for this integration.
• Zapier Integration: With this integration, you can connect Writesonic to 5000+ apps and automate your workflows. Few examples of automations that you can build with the Zapier integration are: ****

More Features

• Photosonic Image Generator: Exclusively available to paid plan subscribers, this feature enables users to generate images, making it particularly valuable for creating original featured images for blogs or websites.
• SEO Keywords Generator: With Writesonic’s SEO Keywords Generator, users can generate a comprehensive list of keywords and phrases, along with details such as search volume, CPC, and difficulty score. However, it appears that this feature lacks sufficient information and data to entice users to switch from other established keyword research tools to Writesonic.

Additionally, there is no provision to specify the desired quantity of keywords to generate, which means there is no opportunity to conserve credits by reducing the number of keyword ideas.

Customer Support

Their training center offers helpful guides, tutorials, and webinars to assist users in mastering the tool’s features. Important features within Writesonic include direct links to corresponding tutorials, making it easy for users to access guidance.

Customer support is readily available via email and live chat during business hours. In addition, Writesonic fosters an active and engaged community. With a Discord community boasting over 12,000 members and a Facebook group with over 6,000 members, users have platforms to connect, seek advice, and share insights.

Pricing

Writesonic has a very flexible pricing structure.

	Free Trial	Pro

In addition to standard plans, Writesonic also offers an enterprise plan that can be tailored to meet the specific requirements of organizations. Users with enterprise plans receive dedicated account managers, premium support, and access to training sessions, ensuring a high level of personalized assistance.

It’s worth noting that the word limits mentioned in the plans refer to premium words generated using GPT-3.5. If users opt for superior quality (GPT-4) words, the available count will be reduced. The conversion rate is straightforward: 100 superior words are equivalent to 300 premium words. Users have the flexibility to switch between superior and premium quality at any time within their paid plan.

Users can also earn 2,000 extra words for writing reviews on the Chrome web store and G2.

I think Writesonic’s pricing is quite reasonable and makes it a competitive option compared to other alternatives. With its flexible pricing model and the ability to switch between different quality levels at any time, users have the advantage of a cost-effective solution that aligns with their specific needs and budget.
