Good for
  • Tracking many client brands, with white-label dashboards and an agency programme
  • Tracking engines that many tools skip, such as DeepSeek, Mistral and Grok
  • Controlling cost by choosing the engines and check frequency for each prompt
  • Getting the fixes for AI visibility gaps written for you, not only reported
  • Planning outreach to the sites AI engines cite when they name a competitor
  • Tracking AI visibility alongside a site's Google Search Console data
Watch out for
  • Credits make costs harder to predict: a Claude check uses 2 credits and DeepSeek 1, against 0.25 for ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and AI Mode
  • Essentials is sold yearly only, with no credit rollover and only 2 brand dashboards
  • The REST API starts on Pro+ ($229/month billed monthly) and white-label dashboards on Growth ($385/month)
  • No free plan; the 3-day trial needs a card and becomes a paid Starter plan unless cancelled
  • Does not track Microsoft Copilot
  • Starter tracks 10 buyer prompts for one brand; competitor tracking is listed from Pro
