LongShot Reviews & Ratings

4.6/5

“Steep Learning Curve, But Rewarding Once You Master It”

First few days I felt a bit lost—where to start, which template, how to use fact check or claim detection. But after putting in time, I see how those features weave together to give strong content.

Pros : The feature set is rich; once I got used to the different options (templates, research, outlines, fact checks), my productivity increased a lot.

Cons : At first I felt overwhelmed by the number of tools and options; onboarding null reports and templates needed better guidance.

Switched from : AI_Design

Reason to switch : I was using a simpler AI writer that was easy to use but hit its limits; I switched to LongShot because I wanted to scale content, improve accuracy, and use more SEO-driven features—even with a learning curve.

4.5/5

“Strong Performance & Speed in Content Creation”

I was spending many hours doing research + writing. LongShot cut that down: I can outline + draft quickly, especially when content topics are known. Of course, I still spend time reviewing, but the baseline is much higher.

Pros : Users say the tool is fast, reliable, and generates content more swiftly than many competitors. Output generation time is good.

Cons : If prompt context isn’t set well, results may be generic; sometimes structural coherence across sections or long articles needs manual input.

Switched from : Jasper ai

Reason to switch : I switched because those tools were either slower in drafting long pieces or had worse coherence; LongShot gives me a more usable draft out of the box.

4.5/5

“Strong Value for Money, Especially for Mid-Sellers”

Running several content-rich sites means many words per month. LongShot lets me produce a lot without paying for many separate tools. But I’ve had moments where I used up my credits faster than expected.

Pros : Plans are fairly affordable given the set of features (SEO tools, templates, fact-check, etc.). Often feels more cost-effective than some big-name tools.

Cons : Price still can feel steep if you only need a few articles per month; credit/usage limits hit users unexpectedly.

Switched from : Rytr

Reason to switch : I switched from Rytr because while it was cheaper, I was constantly adding extra tools to fill in gaps (SEO, fact check). LongShot bundled more of what I needed, saving total cost.

4.5/5

“Reliable Output but Not Perfect for Highly Technical Content”

I write tech articles, and LongShot works well for many posts. But when I dive into specialized areas (ML algorithms, hardware specs), I have to spend more time fixing inaccuracies.

Pros : On general topics, content quality is good; readability and flow are decent; for many use cases, edits are modest.

Cons : For highly technical or niche subjects with domain-specific jargon, the tool sometimes makes errors in detail or context. Requires more editing.

Switched from : HyperWrite

Reason to switch : I left a generic AI writer because it performed poorly in technical content; LongShot is overall better in a broad range, though I still combine with expert review for niche pieces.

4.5/5

“Good Interface, Strong SEO Integrations, But Some Rough Edges”

As someone working with SEO clients, I need content that not only reads well but also is optimized. LongShot does that well; but occasionally I get bits that feel too formulaic or require rework.

Pros : The UI is clean and intuitive; I love that integration with SEO tools is seamless, helping my content rank better.

Cons : Advanced grammar checks are missing; sometimes content is generic.

Switched from : Frase

Reason to switch : I switched because my previous combo didn’t deliver all-in-one. LongShot gives many of those tools together which simplified my workflow.

4.3/5

“Some Pricing/Usage Surprises, But Good Overall Value”

I signed up, started using credits, and found that I ran out sooner than I expected because some features consume more. The pricing is okay, but you need to understand the credit system well. Still, the quality and features usually make up for these issues.

Pros : Compared to many AI writing tools with fewer features, LongShot gives great value. SEO tools, fact checking, niche templates etc.

Cons : Some reviews mention “deceptive pricing” or credit depletion issues; plan limits sometimes tighter than described; “2000 credits” or “runs” are not always well explained.

Switched from : Copy Ai

Reason to switch : I switched from a tool like Writesonic because cost per content / SEO-features were lacking; even though LongShot has credit/limit surprises, the overall output and features justify switching.

4.3/5

“Very Helpful for Overcoming Writer’s Block”

When I don’t know how to start an article, LongShot’s outline and niche suggestions help me get unstuck. It gives me a solid skeleton to build up. The rest of the writing still needs me.

Pros : The “Blog Wizard / Content Outline” workflows help me structure posts; niche-based content suggestions are good for idea generation.

Cons : Generated outlines sometimes go off topic; needs refinement. Also, managing longer content pieces needs more control.

Switched from : Copy Ai

Reason to switch : I switched from Copy.ai because I found its idea generation okay, but LongShot’s niche-based outlines and fact checking meant fewer rewrites and more direction up front.

4.2/5

“Saves Me Tons of Time on Long-Form Content”

As a blogger handling multiple articles per week, LongShot has sped up my process. I don’t have to spend hours gathering research—or double-checking facts manually. Still, I often must polish up the voice/tone.

Pros : LongShot helps me generate research-driven long-form content quickly; the fact-checking and claim detection tools reduce misinformation risk.

Cons : Sometimes the tone/style is inconsistent; some generated sections need heavy editing.

Switched from : Jasper ai

Reason to switch : I switched from Jasper because LongShot offered better fact-checking tools and more affordable long-form content generation, which helped me maintain quality without spending as much.

4.2/5

“Fact Check & Plagiarism Features Improve Trust in My Content”

When writing health, finance or science-adjacent topics, I worry about errors. LongShot’s tools let me catch issues before publishing. That reduces back-and-forth with editors.

Pros : Built-in fact checking, claim detection, plagiarism checker give me confidence in what I publish. Helps reduce errors.

Cons : Sometimes fact check flags items when data is sparse; also, grammar/spelling post-edits are still needed.

Switched from : Jasper ai

Reason to switch : I switched because previous tools had weak plagiarism / fact checking, causing errors that damaged trust; LongShot gave stronger checks built-in.

4.1/5

“Excellent for Long-Form Content, Less Ideal for Short Copy”

My blog posts are usually 1500-2500 words. LongShot helps generate solid first drafts for those. When I need a headline, tagline, or ad snippet, sometimes I revert to another tool.

Pros : Very good for blog posts, in-depth articles. Handles long content well. Good for structuring longer narratives.

Cons : Short text snippets / ad copy sometimes feel generic or less polished. The tool’s strength is clearly long-form.

Switched from : Writesonic

Reason to switch : I moved from those short-form tools because I needed better long-form performance and content structure. LongShot does long content better, even if I still use others for taglines or ads.
