How we grade them
| 2.0GPAGenrankFair | 2.2GPALLMrefsFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CEssential is $69 a month for 25 prompts and one brand, above this category's middle of $49 and under its dearer quarter of $95. The content optimizer and ad insights wait on Pro at $199, and the page doesn't make clear whether those prices are monthly or yearly. | C$79 a month for 500 prompts on every engine, with unlimited projects and seats. That's mid-range for this category, between $29 and $95. But the price is marked limited time only, with no end date or regular price given. |
| Free plan and trial | CThere's a 7-day free trial but no free plan, and the listing doesn't say whether the trial asks for a card. Genrank's own docs still describe a free 10-prompt plan that the pricing page doesn't show. | CNo free plan, but a 7-day free trial, and signing up needs no credit card. |
| Features | CDaily tracking with the full answers, competitors, cited sources, sentiment and prompt ideas pulled from Search Console. The gap is a big one: ChatGPT is the only AI it tracks, and its docs say the others are still to come. | CFan-out prompts built from your keywords, share of voice and position across ChatGPT, AI Overviews, AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Grok, Copilot, Meta AI and DeepSeek, and cited sources in 50+ countries. The gap: data refreshes weekly, not daily. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. You pick prompts, add competitors and wait for the daily runs to build up before the numbers tell you much. | CNo rating on record. Importing an SEO keyword list is a familiar start, but you still set up projects, countries and competitors before the rankings say much. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only. It can pull question-style queries from Google Search Console, but that's its one connection, and the API comes only with the custom plan from $349 a month. | BWeb only, with no desktop or phone app and no integrations on record. The one plan includes an API and CSV export. |
| Best for | tracking how ChatGPT talks about your brand | tracking AI visibility by keyword, not prompt |

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.
