Which one is for you
Pick AreYouMention if
- Fits if you want to know whether AI mentions you before spending anything
- Works for small businesses with one to three brands to spot-check
Look elsewhere if
- Too light for anyone tracking more than 3 questions a brand
- Skip it if Google's AI Overviews, Copilot or Claude matter to you, as only three engines are named
- Not for you if you'll want more later, as there's no plan above free
- Tight if your traffic data lives outside GA4, the only analytics source it reads
- Watch out: the maker also sells a GEO agency service on a Pro version, with no published price
Pick Siteline if
- Fits if you want measured AI agent traffic from your server, not only simulated prompts
- Works for developer tools that want to see which coding agents read their docs
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need to know which AI engines are tracked before you pay, as the table doesn't name them
- Not for you if you can't change your hosting or CDN setup, since it collects on the server side
- Tight if you stay free: prompt tracking, MCP and the API all start on Starter at $49 a month
- Watch out: prices are monthly only, with no yearly saving and no stated trial on paid plans
- Tight if you want Slack support, which starts on Scale at $99 a month
How we grade them
| 2.6GPAAreYouMentionGood | 2.2GPASitelineFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BIt costs nothing, and there's no paid plan at all. It stops short of an A because 3 queries a brand is a small amount of tracking, even for free. | CStarter is $49 a month for 500 prompt runs, 2 websites and 500,000 analytics events. That's between the cheaper quarter of this category and its middle. Only monthly prices are shown, with no yearly saving. |
| Free plan and trial | AFree outright, with no card and no time limit. The only plan covers 3 brands with 3 queries each, plus AI traffic for 3 GA4 properties. | CA free plan with no card: 1 website and 50,000 agent analytics events a month. That covers the bot traffic side, but prompt tracking, MCP and the API all start on Starter. |
| Features | CMention scores in three engines, competitor domains, fan-out tracking, exports, AI traffic from GA4 and a monthly email report. The gaps are in its own listing: 3 queries per brand, and no Claude, Copilot or Google AI Overviews. | CAgent analytics, human visits from AI platforms, prompt tracking, citations, ranked fixes and an insights agent. The gap: the pricing table says all major AI platforms without naming them, and the charts show only ChatGPT, AI Mode, Perplexity and Gemini. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. Sign-up takes seconds, but you choose your queries and connect GA4 through a Google sign-in for the traffic side. | CNo rating on record. It collects through your host or CDN rather than a browser script, so there's setup on the server side before you see traffic. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only. Google Analytics 4 is its one connection, and there's no API on record. | BWeb only, with no desktop or phone app. It connects through Vercel, Cloudflare, Netlify, Azure CDN, CloudFront, Next.js, WordPress and Fastly, with MCP and a reporting API from Starter. |
| Best for | a free first look at AI mentions and traffic | real AI agent traffic plus prompt tracking |

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.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
