Which one is for you

Pick AIVisibility if

  • Fits if you run a small SaaS and want to know how ChatGPT describes it
  • Works for founders who want a fix list from the free baseline before paying $19 a month

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if you need Gemini, Perplexity or AI Overviews, as only ChatGPT is checked for now
  • Not for you if your site isn't a SaaS product, since that's what it's built for
  • Too light for agencies, with one brand and one competitor slot on Starter
  • Tight if you stay free: weekly checks and the competitor slot need the $19 Starter plan
  • Watch out: partial billing periods generally aren't refunded, and the yearly price isn't shown up front

Pick GEO Toolbox if

  • Fits if you're an SEO consultant tracking AI citations for one to five brands
  • Works for agencies with up to 25 client brands that need white-label reports

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if you need daily numbers, as scans are weekly and daily scans are an add-on on Scale and Enterprise only
  • Pricey if Gemini and Claude matter, as they start at Plus for $159 a month, and all 8 engines need Pro at $399
  • Not for you if you want to try it without a card, and the trial gives only a quarter of the credits
  • Watch out: credits don't roll over, and a Claude check costs 20 credits and Grok 31, against 1 for Perplexity
  • Too light for SEO work: no keyword ranks, backlinks, site-speed audits or API, so you'll keep an SEO suite

How we grade them

2.2GPAAIVisibilityFair2.0GPAGEO ToolboxFair
Value for money
BStarter is $19 a month for weekly re-audits, a competitor slot and score history. That is inside this category's cheaper quarter ($29 or less), but above $17.40, the line for an A. Yearly billing saves up to 35%.
CStarter is $79 a month billed yearly, or $99 monthly, for 1 brand and 50 prompts on 3 engines. That sits between this category's middle and its dearer quarter, and adding Gemini and Claude means Plus at $159.
Free plan and trial
CA free baseline for good with no card: 1 brand, the next action to take, saved history and manual re-audits. Weekly checks and a competitor need Starter.
DA 7-day trial that needs a card, and you only get a quarter of the month's credits during it. There's no free plan, though a few free one-off checks sit on the site.
Features
DOne narrow job: a readiness score, ChatGPT buyer-question checks with sampled answers and a prioritized fix list. It checks ChatGPT only, and Starter watches one brand against one rival.
CCited, mentioned or missing on up to 8 engines, a 21-signal page grader, an AI crawler scan, briefs and drafts. The gaps: scans are weekly on every plan, and Starter only gets ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews.
Ease of use
BNo rating on record, but there's next to nothing to set up: a free audit runs from your site's address, even before you sign up.
CNo rating on record. Every tool draws on one credit pool, and a Claude check costs 20 credits against 1 for Perplexity, so there's budgeting to do.
Platforms and integrations
CWeb only, with no integrations or API listed.
BWeb only, with no desktop or phone app. It connects to Google Search Console and Google Analytics 4, and no API is listed.

Worth knowing

AIVisibility

  • Only ChatGPT is checked; the FAQ says other engines will be added later.
  • It is built for SaaS sites; Starter monitors one brand with one competitor slot.
  • Yearly billing is offered at up to 35% off, but the yearly price could not be read without the page's toggle.
  • Refunds are generally not given for part of a billing period, its terms say.

GEO Toolbox

  • Starter covers only ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews; Gemini and Claude need Plus, and all eight engines need Pro or Scale.
  • Scans are weekly on every plan; daily scans are a paid add-on on Scale and Enterprise only.
  • Credits do not roll over, and Claude (20 credits) and Grok (31) checks cost far more than Perplexity (1) or ChatGPT (4).
  • It does no keyword rank tracking, backlink analysis or site-speed audits; the vendor says to keep an SEO suite for those.

How this page was made

  • The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
  • The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
  • Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
