Where they differ
- Cheapest way in: Rytr at $9/mo, against Writesonic at $79/mo. That is the entry price in this market on the dates shown, not a judgement about which suits you.
- Free plans: only Rytr publishes one — a plan priced at zero, not a trial.
- How far each ladder goes: Rytr tops out at $29/mo, Writesonic at $399/mo. A deeper ladder is not a worse deal — it is a bill that keeps climbing if you keep growing.
- Writesonic: We read the same $79/mo in every market we check, so this vendor does not price by country.
How to choose in this category
- Find the cap that will actually bind you: the tool that is cheapest per seat is rarely the cheapest per word.
- Where a free row exists, read what it caps. A monthly credit allowance and an unlimited plan are not the same offer.
- Most headline figures here are the annual-billed rate; the pay-monthly figure sits higher.
