Cohesive vs Writesonic

Cohesive

A 2023-era template-and-editor product that is still online but shows no sign of being worked on. At $25 per editor it is priced against Copy.ai and Writesonic while shipping older models, so there is no reason to choose it today.

Pros

• +Template library is broad and organised by job, which lowers the blank-page problem
• +Real-time collaborative editing is unusual at this price point
• +Images and voice generation live in the same editor as the text

Cons

• −Pricing page still advertises GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 as the model tiers, two model generations behind
• −Blog last published in August 2024 and terms unchanged since September 2023
• −Subpages redirect to plain HTTP rather than HTTPS
• −Per-editor pricing gets expensive for a team while capping template runs at 150 a month

Writesonic

This is not the AI copywriter the catalogs still describe: it is a GEO tracking suite priced like one, and at $79 a month on annual billing you are paying monitoring money for a three-engine view of your own brand. The free plan that used to soften the entry is gone; what is left is a 7-day trial.

Pros

• +Daily prompt and answer tracking is the core of the product, not a bolt-on dashboard
• +Site audits, content generation and the Action Center sit in the same tool as the monitoring
• +7-day trial with full access and no card, plus a 7-day refund window after paying

Cons

• −Self-serve plans watch three engines out of nine; Perplexity, Claude and Copilot are Enterprise-only
• −Month-to-month costs 25% more than the advertised annual rate ($99 against $79 on Starter)
• −No permanent free plan is listed any more, only a one-week trial
• −Prompt and article caps reset monthly, so a burst of work stalls until the counter resets
