Which one is for you
Pick BrandBeacon if
- Fits if you want a free daily look at up to five prompts
- Works for brands whose buyers use ChatGPT and Perplexity, the two engines live today
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need Claude or Gemini today, as both are still coming soon
- Not for you if you want to see prices before a sign-up or demo
- Tight if you track more than five prompts on the free tier
- Too light for knowing what AI says about you, as that feature is marked coming soon
- Watch out: the newest blog posts date from May 2025, so check it's still kept up
Pick Trakkr if
- Fits if you want Claude, Grok and DeepSeek tracked without paying per model
- Works for teams that pipe their data into Zapier, Slack or Google Sheets
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you track lots of questions, as every plan stops at 50 prompts per brand without paid packs
- Pricey if you need the REST API, unlimited seats or client portals, which need Scale at $500 a month
- Skip it if ChatGPT shopping matters, as it's an extra $49 per brand a month
- Watch out: the 14-day trial needs a card, and there's no free plan
- Watch out: Growth has 3 seats and caps AI Pages requests at 2,500 a month

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.
