Brandlight vs Limy (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Brandlight if

• Fits if you'd rather have a team build and keep your question set than do it yourself
• Works for large brands selling in several of its 10 markets

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you want to try it first, as there's no trial or self-serve plan
• Skip it if you need daily numbers, since questions run weekly
• Too light for teams that want their own data pipelines, with no API on record
• Not for you if you need a price before a demo, as none is published
• Watch out: Google Search Console is the only integration on record

Pick Limy if

• Fits if you need AI search tied to sales, demo requests or sign-ups, not just mentions
• Works for teams that can connect CDN or server logs to see AI crawler activity

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you want a price or to sign up without a demo, as no price is published
• Skip it if you want to try it first, as there's no free plan or trial on record
• Skip it if you want content written or fixes drafted, as no writing tools are listed
• Tight if you can't connect CDN or server logs, as the pixel alone only shows visitors from AI chats
• Watch out: Limy Ads, for ads inside ChatGPT, was only a waitlist when read

Brandlight

• No prices are published; access starts with a demo booked through sales.
• It is aimed at enterprises; there is no self-serve plan or free trial.
• Engines are run weekly rather than daily, according to the platform page.

Limy

• No prices are published; every page leads to booking a demo, so cost is not listed here.
• Crawler tracking needs a CDN or server log connection; the pixel alone shows only visitors from AI chats.
• The docs name ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Bing Copilot, Claude and Grok as the engines whose bots it detects.
• Limy Ads, for ads inside ChatGPT, was only a waitlist when read.

Brandlight

Managed question sets

Brandlight builds the list of buyer questions from consumer panel prompts, search demand, Search Console data and business priorities, refreshed quarterly.

Twelve engines, ten markets

Runs every question weekly on ChatGPT, AI Overviews, AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot, Grok, DeepSeek, Qwen, Mistral and Naver.

Accuracy and messaging checks

Compares AI answers with the brand's approved facts and claims, and flags wrong prices, specs, ownership or competitor mix-ups.

Ranked actions by team

Turns gaps into weekly page fixes, content briefs and publisher targets, split between web, content, PR, e-commerce and paid teams.

Impact tracking

Records each change and what followed it, with significance thresholds so normal swings in answers are not reported as trends.

AI ads and AI shopping

Separate modules show which prompts competitors buy ads on and whether AI shopping answers pick the brand's products.

Limy

AI visibility and competitors

Shows the prompts, answers, mentions and cited sources behind a brand's presence in AI search, and compares it with competitors you pick, by topic and prompt.

AI attribution

Follows an AI-driven visit to an action on your site, such as a purchase, demo request or signup, so the result can be credited to the prompt and page.

AI bot traffic monitor

Reads server or CDN logs to show which AI crawlers visit, how often, which pages they favor and which regions or pages they fail to reach.

Limy Analytics

A pixel reports visitors arriving from ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity, with pages, time on site, device and country, without collecting personal data, Limy says.

CDN and tag setup

Connects through Google Tag Manager, a WordPress plugin, or log feeds from Cloudflare, Vercel, Akamai, Fastly, Netlify, CloudFront, Google Cloud CDN or Nginx.

REST API and MCP server

An API exposes prompts, topics, competitors, traffic and raw AI answers, and an MCP server connects the data to Claude, Cursor and other AI clients.
