Writesonic Alternatives | 7 Best Competitors to Writesonic.com (James Dooley Interviews Kasra Dash)

James Dooley: Right Sonic alternatives. Today I'm joined with Kasra Dash and we're going to go through all the different competitors to Right Sonic. So you might be looking for different AI visibility tools and you might have already used Right Sonic and be looking to move away and you're looking for what alternatives that they are. So Kasra take it away. What what alternatives are there to write Sonic?

Kasra Dash: Yeah. So first of all, the main three reasons that what we could see online where people were actually moving away from bright sonic was um the free AI platforms that were tracked by um below enterprise packages. And then there was a big price jump between the different tiers as well. So $79 to $199. And the third one as well is the unused articles don't roll over on billing. So, there was a few people complaining about that. Um, here are the seven short lists that we will talk about and we've both used a variety of all of these different um tools as well.

James Dooley: Yeah. So on there on the short list um we've got Semrush, we've got Profound, we've got Peak AI, we've got Radar Kit, we've got HRE's brand radar, we've got Surfer, and we've got Otly.ai. So these are all alternatives to write Sonic of what you might be wanting to do. So if you want to briefly go through, do you want to start off like with um the first one then? So obviously we've got Semrush as being an alternative to Right Sonic. Do you think that that's a good alternative to Right Sonic?

Kasra Dash: So this this comes down to the pricing because obviously we did speak about how 199 is the the second pricing tier for right Sonic. So if you're happy with that pricing then yes. Um I would probably say that the pros here is the amount of data that they have. I believe I could be wrong in saying this, but I believe they are one of the oldest SEO tools. Um, so they have all of that data. Um, they've got a really large keyword database and they also have a free plan to test as well. Um, the what the two cons that I could find was the extra users that cost more. So like for example, if you're using the tool and maybe a colleague's using the tool, you might need to pay and purchase extra seats. Um, and the second con as well is they do have a lot of different tools to learn from, which I suppose it could be a pro, but it could also be a con for some people as well.

James Dooley: Yeah, for me obviously the team use Seamrush one quite a lot and what they've said um of where it is an amazing alternative to write Sonic is because Semrush one is allows you within one dashboard to look at the SEO data and cross reference it against the AI visibility and there's a big ven diagram overlap between SEO and AEO of what can be being done. So yeah, a lot of them do does like for different businesses that I'm involved with, they do like Zamrush one and they do think it's a great alternative to Right Sonic. So what about the second one then on the list then? So obviously Profound.

Kasra Dash: Second is obviously Profound. Um again they have a custom price mainly down to the fact that they're targeting more enterprise companies. So if you're enterprise, this is probably one for you.

James Dooley: Yeah, for sure. Again, the team um think that Profound is a good alternative for right. Um the if I'm being honest with you um there's less people using profound within our agency than there is let's say H revs or semrush because they do like it in being one encompassing thing. But then on the flip side, I've had one member of staff saying that's what I quite like about profound that it is just for AI visibility itself and that's what they niche down on. So yeah, I can't say anything bad about it. think that the generally speaking the people that are using it within the company think that profound is a good alternative to right sonic.

Kasra Dash: Yeah. Third on the list we have got peak AI. Um now this is probably one of the more budget friendly um tools out there. Um we we've we've we've obviously used this a bunch of times as well in the past. And what well what's your thoughts on it James?

James Dooley: Yeah. So, um I actually like PKI a lot. Um and I think the reason why I like PKI a lot is because so Malt is one of the um directors and founders there. Um he shares a lot of data. Um he's in SEO himself. He understands what's needed to win to increase AI visibility in chat GPT um Google AI overviews and stuff like that. They're consistently looking to innovate to improve upon the tool. So yeah, I think PKI is certainly a great alternative to Ronic myself. But what about you? What do you think about PKI?

Kasra Dash: I I just love the data studies that they they do. Obviously, they have recently partnered up with Metahan um the very well-known Turkish SEO and he's doing a lot of tests. So these guys outside of their just their SAS business um they're they're quite good people to actually follow uh just to figure out what's working and what's not. Um, one thing I would also like to specify is their pricing is in euros. So if you're in UK for example, it's probably what 70 pound maybe. If you're in US, maybe that's like $99 a month as well. Um, so yeah, really good tool. Really like the people there as well. Next on the list, we have got Radar Kit. Um, you've obviously spoken to Jay. I've spoken to Jay. Um, this is I think that they are the cheapest one on the market. So, if you're just getting into AI SEO, you don't really know if it's going to be worth it for your business, this is probably the best one that I would that I would go with.

James Dooley: Yeah, if you're looking if price is an issue and you want the most affordable solution as an alternative to Right Sonic, then Radar Kit is brilliant. Um, Jay, he's very active on YouTube and on social media. Um, again, he shares quite a lot of data. Um, I like the guy a lot. Um, I like the idea. He's always trying to innovate as well. So, if you're looking for a budget solution as an alternative to Right Sonic, then yeah, Radar Kits certainly probably the best one with regards to the budget solution.

Kasra Dash: Yeah, I I think the the premise of this video is that there's going to be an option for every type of person, whether you're an enterprise, whether you've got budget in mind, whether you need something down the down the middle where you and your team can use as well. Um, next on the list is AHF's brand radar.

James Dooley: Yeah, so I know Tim Suo personally, um, I think he's done an amazing job there at HRES. I think they've grown incredibly well. Um, again, the feedback is that they love having the SEO side and the AI visibility side all within one dashboard that they can look at. The filtering they believe to be the best on the marketplace. Um it is obviously a little bit more um expensive than obviously the other ones like Radar Kit, but it's certainly a great alternative to Right Sonic in the fact that just the data of what it has and how active that the H1's crawler is. Um it's I can't I can't knock it. I think it's an absolute great AI visibility tool.

Kasra Dash: Yeah. Next one is Surfer SEO. So obviously we both know Mihal. Um, this has been one thing that they've been pushing on quite a lot and I think that this is an a bit of an interesting one for me personally because obviously Surfer is primarily known for being a content optimization tool and however they've now got into the AI visibility tracking route, but it actually kind of makes sense because for them to score content and be able to go out to the web and figure out what's good content, what's bad content, they they already kind of had the data there anyway. So, it's a it's a good bolt-on for them. Um, James, what's what's your thoughts on on Surfer?

James Dooley: Yeah, Surfer is great. Um, it's great for knowing how to write specific content, get the main entities and engrams on the page of what's needed. So, now they've got the AI visibility tracker in there. You can start literally seeing why some of your competitors are beating you out in chat GPT, in Claude, in Perplexity, in Google AI overviews, or within Google AI mode. Um, not only does it give you the AI visibility, it also then shows you the gaps and the content gaps semantically for you to try and optimize for that. So, I I've loved seeing the growth all the way through when I first met him several years ago in Chiang Mai. Um, Mihal and Lucian and loads of others, the the great guys and yeah, I think it's a great alternative myself to write Sonic.

Kasra Dash: Yeah. And then last on the list, we have got Otterly.ai. Um this is again joint with Radar Kit on pricing. Um similar amount of prompts as well and they are to to my knowledge they're a little bit newer than than the rest on the market. Like I've only recently started seeing their ads and them being pushed maybe within like the last three to four months. Um, but again, if if you're just starting out in AI search and you don't really know if it's going to be beneficial for your company, this and radar kit would probably be my go-to ones.

James Dooley: Yeah, it's again, it falls down on the budget side um of if someone need if someone need someone starting out and they can't afford a SEMrush one or an AHS brand radar or a PKI and that's above their budget, this is a budget affordable solution. One thing I would say is the team have fed back that they believe that radar kit is better than Otlet and it's the same price. So if there was going to be if you have it if you're having to choose it on price I'd probably go with um the radar kit solution. However, Ottoate is another alternative to ride Sonic if you are looking for a different competitor. What we are seeing is there's quite a lot of people that is doing AEO or GEO. they're actually signing up to two or three of these and they're cross referencing and seeing what information comes back. So I do know that one or two of them have gone with let's say Seamrush one um with surfer SEO and also with like radar kit together because they've got the budget solution. They've got this sandwich one which is using um SEO and AI visibility and they've gone with like a surfer because they want to find the content gaps. But I suppose it just comes back down to um what budgets they have in mind. But there is seven different alternatives to write Sonic. You definitely need to be the last bit of information for me. You definitely need to be looking to track your AI visibility to see all the different query find out terms to see the sentiment dividers of what you might be falling short on to try and increase that AI visibility. Maji, if I had to put you on the spot, if you had to choose two or three alternatives there to write Sonic, which ones are you preferring out the list of seven there?

Kasra Dash: I'm going to go with the three that the teams use the most, which is Semrush, Peak, and Radar Kit. Um, that's primarily down to down to what my team actually use day in day out. Um, I know that you've been using AHF's brand Radar a little bit more than than what I have. So, for me right now, those are the three. Ask me in two, three months time, I'm sure my answer would have probably changed.

James Dooley: Yeah. Yeah, for anyone who's listening to this, we hope you like the episode about alternatives to write Sonic. Let us know in the comment section. Is there any other competitors to write Sonic that you would recommend with regards to AI visibility tracking?
