Aparok vs SiteSignal (2026): which should you pick?

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 SiteSignal if

• Fits if you're an agency adding AI search to what you sell, under your logo
• Works for businesses that want AI's answers about their prices and services checked daily

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you're one small business, at $299 a month for a single domain
• Tight if you have lots of questions to track, at 30 a domain, or 60 per client on Agency
• Skip it if Claude's answers matter, as Claude tracking is still to come
• Watch out: the $89 and Agency plans need your own AI keys, about $1 per question per engine a month on top
• Watch out: other countries are Agency only, at $49 a month per country per client domain

Aparok

• Prompt tracking covers ChatGPT and Perplexity; Gemini, Claude and Copilot appear only in traffic attribution.
• Prompt runs use credits (3 per prompt, per provider, per run); extra packs cost $49 for 1,000 up to $349 for 10,000.
• Entry plans track only 10 or 25 prompts on one domain.
• Traffic attribution needs a snippet on your site and depends on referrer data being available.

SiteSignal

• Tracks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews; the vendor says Claude is coming soon.
• On BYOK plans you pay the AI provider too, which SiteSignal estimates at about $1 per question, per engine, per month.
• Tracking in extra countries is Agency-only, at $49 a month per country per client domain.
• Plans include 30 or 60 buyer questions a month, far fewer than prompt-based tools that track hundreds.
