Our take
Pick Byword if you're sEO shops that will burn 25–80 articles / month and already have a CMS. Pick Writesonic if you're on a sEO and content team who care how they appear in ChatGPT-class answers. Skip Byword if you're one-page optimizers (Page Optimizer Pro). Skip Writesonic if you're people who need a cheap paraphraser (QuillBot) or inline grammar (Grammarly).
