AIVisibility
ChatGPT visibility audit and weekly re-checks for SaaS brands
GEO Toolbox
Tracks how eight AI engines cite your brand, with content fixes
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
| 2.2GPAAIVisibilityFair | 2.0GPAGEO 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. |
| Best for | SaaS founders checking how ChatGPT sees them | weekly AI citation checks with page-level fixes |

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.
