Which one is for you

Pick Aparok if

  • Fits if you're a SaaS startup checking whether ChatGPT or Perplexity recommends you
  • Works for teams that want each gap turned into a task with its expected impact

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if Gemini, Claude or Google's AI answers need tracking, as they show only in traffic
  • Tight if you have lots of prompts, with 10 on Mini and 25 on Starter, each on one domain
  • Pricey if you want prompts run daily, since every run eats credits and packs cost $49 to $349
  • Watch out: AI traffic needs a snippet on your site and depends on referrer data
  • Not for you if you want a free plan: it's a 7-day trial, and the listing doesn't say if a card is needed

Pick Otterly.AI if

  • Fits if a daily read on ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews and Copilot is what you need
  • Works for agencies that brand client reports through Looker Studio, from Standard

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if Gemini, AI Mode or Claude matter to you, as they're paid add-ons on every plan, and all seven engines add $227 a month on Standard
  • Not for you if you need white-label reports, as there aren't any
  • Tight if you start on Lite, with 15 prompts, one workspace, no API or MCP, and no extra prompt packs
  • Pricey if you outgrow Lite, as Standard is $160 a month yearly and extra prompts are $99 per 100, with 300 at most before Premium at $422
  • Watch out: Claude is tracked through its API using the Haiku model, and crawler analytics needs server log files you upload

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.
