CiteFlow
AI visibility scanner with weekly AI answer checks and code fixes
GEO Toolbox
Tracks how eight AI engines cite your brand, with content fixes
Which one is for you
Pick CiteFlow if
- Fits if you're a developer and want AI visibility fixes as pull requests
- Works for a single small site that needs a weekly look at AI citations
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if your site isn't in a GitHub repo, as Auto-Fix can't reach it
- Too light for brands tracking dozens of buyer questions, with 10 per site
- Not for you if you want a refund on a monthly plan, as those aren't refundable
- Pricey if you add sites or fixes: $9.99 per extra site and $14.99 per extra Auto-Fix run
- Watch out: the free account gives 3 scans with scores only and doesn't refill
Pick GEO Toolbox if
- Fits if you're an SEO consultant tracking AI citations for one to five brands
- Works for agencies with up to 25 client brands that need white-label reports
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need daily numbers, as scans are weekly and daily scans are an add-on on Scale and Enterprise only
- Pricey if Gemini and Claude matter, as they start at Plus for $159 a month, and all 8 engines need Pro at $399
- Not for you if you want to try it without a card, and the trial gives only a quarter of the credits
- Watch out: credits don't roll over, and a Claude check costs 20 credits and Grok 31, against 1 for Perplexity
- Too light for SEO work: no keyword ranks, backlinks, site-speed audits or API, so you'll keep an SEO suite
How we grade them

|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CStandard is $399 a year, about $33 a month, or $49 monthly, for 1 site, 10 weekly questions and 2 Auto-Fix runs. That's right at the edge of this category's cheaper quarter, and 10 questions a week is a small sample. | CStarter is $79 a month billed yearly, or $99 monthly, for 1 brand and 50 prompts on 3 engines. That sits between this category's middle and its dearer quarter, and adding Gemini and Claude means Plus at $159. |
| Free plan and trial | CA free account with no card gets 3 one-off scans, scores only, with issue detail for 2 of the 7 areas. It doesn't refill, so it's a taste rather than a plan. | DA 7-day trial that needs a card, and you only get a quarter of the month's credits during it. There's no free plan, though a few free one-off checks sit on the site. |

The gaps: just 10 tracked questions per site, and Auto-Fix only works for sites kept in GitHub. | CCited, mentioned or missing on up to 8 engines, a 21-signal page grader, an AI crawler scan, briefs and drafts. The gaps: scans are weekly on every plan, and Starter only gets ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. A scan is just a URL, but the fixes mean connecting a GitHub repo and reviewing pull requests, which suits developers more than marketers. | CNo rating on record. Every tool draws on one credit pool, and a Claude check costs 20 credits against 1 for Perplexity, so there's budgeting to do. |

Worth knowing
CiteFlow
- The free account allows 3 one-off scans with scores only and issue detail for 2 of 7 areas; rescans and reports need a paid plan.
- Each site gets 10 tracked buyer questions a week; more sites are $9.99 each and extra Auto-Fix runs $14.99.
- The Auto-Fix Agent works through GitHub pull requests, so sites not kept in a GitHub repo cannot use it.
- Monthly subscriptions are not refundable; annual plans have a 7-day refund window with usage limits.
GEO Toolbox
- Starter covers only ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews; Gemini and Claude need Plus, and all eight engines need Pro or Scale.
- Scans are weekly on every plan; daily scans are a paid add-on on Scale and Enterprise only.
- Credits do not roll over, and Claude (20 credits) and Grok (31) checks cost far more than Perplexity (1) or ChatGPT (4).
- It does no keyword rank tracking, backlink analysis or site-speed audits; the vendor says to keep an SEO suite for those.

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.
