Note: Longshot AI shut down in June 2025.
Longshot AI shut down in June 2025, after roughly four years in market and about 200,000 users. The site now carries a one-line discontinuation notice instead of a pricing page; the FactCheck claim-verification tool, Blog Automation workflow and SurferSEO/Semrush/Ahrefs integrations this profile used to describe no longer exist for anyone to buy. While it operated, users on G2 (4.7/5, 98 reviews) and Capterra (4.5/5, 51 reviews) rated it well for ease of use and speed, with recurring gripes about a confusing FactGPT credit system and a roadmap that lagged competitors like Jasper and Copy.ai. None of that is actionable today. Anyone looking for a long-form AI writing tool with built-in fact-checking should look elsewhere — this one is gone.
What people say
Longshot AI is dead. The site now shows a single banner: the product was discontinued in mid-2025, after about four years and roughly 200,000 users. There's no pricing page anymore — it 404s — and the FactCheck claim-verification tool, Blog Automation workflow and SurferSEO/Semrush/Ahrefs integrations this listing used to describe are gone along with the rest of the product.
While it was live, it did reasonably well by the numbers: 4.7/5 on G2 across 98 reviews, 4.5/5 on Capterra across 51, with praise for ease of use and speed. The recurring complaint wasn't the writing quality — it was the FactGPT credit system, a separate currency from the regular plan that several Trustpilot reviewers said depleted faster than expected and was confusing to track. Capterra reviewers also flagged a roadmap that lagged behind the market and feature depth that fell short of rivals like Jasper and Copy.ai.
None of that is actionable now. A `github.com/longshot-ai` org still exists but only holds two stale documentation repos from 2023 — not the product, not a fork, nothing to self-host. If you've landed here looking for a long-form writing tool with built-in fact-checking, this isn't one anymore; it's a discontinuation notice with a founder's contact link attached.

Notable facts
- Longshot was the first major AI writing tool to include automatic fact verification in the writing workflow, rather than requiring writers to check facts separately.
- The FactCheck feature cross-references generated claims against 50+ real-time web sources simultaneously, flagging any statement that lacks corroboration.
- Longshot's Blog Automation can produce a fully fact-checked, SEO-optimised 2,000-word article in under 5 minutes from a single keyword input.
