Writesonic charges $16/month for Individual or $13/month billed annually. Like Copy.ai and Jasper, it's an AI writing wrapper that was impressive in 2022 but is now outperformed by the free AI tools it's built on top of. Here's how to cancel.
The AI writing tool market in 2026 is in freefall:
All of these tools wrap the same OpenAI/Anthropic models you can access for free. Their "templates" are just pre-written prompts. Their "brand voice" features are just system prompts. There is no moat.
Writesonic added "Chatsonic" — a ChatGPT competitor with real-time web data. But in 2026, ChatGPT has web browsing built in, Perplexity.ai gives better sourced answers for free, and Google Gemini integrates with your Google account. Chatsonic solves a problem that no longer exists.
Writesonic heavily markets its "AI Article Writer 5.0" for SEO content. But generating AI articles for SEO is a race to the bottom. Google's helpful content update explicitly targets mass-produced AI content. The sites that rank in 2026 have original insight, first-hand experience, and genuine expertise — none of which an AI wrapper provides. You're better off writing fewer, better articles with AI as a brainstorming partner than mass-generating thin content.
Bottom line: Writesonic joins the growing list of AI writing wrappers that were made obsolete by the models they're built on. Cancel, use ChatGPT or Claude directly, and save $156-192/year. The AI writing tool category was a brief arbitrage window that closed in 2023.
