How we grade them
| 2.0GPAGeoIQFair | 2.2GPALLMrefsFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CStarter is $69 a month, charged in rupees at Rs 6,679, for 1 domain and 50 prompts. That's above this category's $49 middle and under the $95 where the dearer quarter starts. Agency is $129 for 3 domains, and there's no yearly price. | 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 | CFree with no signup: the score across 6 AI systems, the technical audit and the fix files, at 2 audits a day. There's no prompt tracking or score history, though, so it's a check, not monitoring. | CNo free plan, but a 7-day free trial, and signing up needs no credit card. |
| Features | CScores per AI system, prompt tracking, a 30-day fix plan, a crawler audit, competitor gaps, content rewrites and a journalist finder. The gaps are in the listing: results refresh every 72 hours on Starter and 48 on Agency, and Starter watches 1 domain. | 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. The free audit needs only a domain, but monitoring means setting prompts and rivals, and sign-in is by an emailed link sent after you subscribe. | 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, with no desktop or phone app and no integrations listed. API access is marked as coming soon. | BWeb only, with no desktop or phone app and no integrations on record. The one plan includes an API and CSV export. |

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.
