GeoIQ vs Skillaeo (2026): which should you pick?

Pick GeoIQ if

• Fits if you want a free check of how six AI systems see your brand, two audits a day
• Works for Indian startups that want to pay in rupees by UPI, card or net banking

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you watch more than one site, as Starter monitors 1 domain and Agency 3 for $129 a month
• Not for you if you need an API, team seats or white-label reports, which are all listed as coming soon
• Watch out: the FAQ talks of daily monitoring, but results refresh every 72 hours on Starter and 48 on Agency
• Skip it if you want yearly billing or a refund for part of a month, as neither is offered
• Watch out: prices show in dollars but are charged in rupees at the day's exchange rate

Pick Skillaeo if

• Fits if you want to read the exact AI answers and links behind a visibility score
• Works for teams that want llms.txt and schema drafts to check before publishing

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you need daily prompt tracking, as Starter gives 25 audits a month and Pro 90
• Not for you if Perplexity or Google's AI Overviews matter, since no plan lists them
• Pricey if you need Gemini, which only Pro covers, at $83.25 a month yearly or $99.90 monthly
• Tight if you stay free: 3 audits a month on GPT alone, with 7 days of history
• Watch out: models are asked through their APIs, which the methodology says can differ from the chat apps, and used billing periods aren't refunded

GeoIQ

• Plans are billed monthly only; prices are shown in dollars but charged in rupees through Razorpay, at Rs 6,679 and Rs 12,487 a month.
• Starter monitors 1 domain; Agency monitors 3, and its white-label reports, 3 team seats and API access are listed as coming soon.
• The terms say there are no refunds for partial months.
• Prompt results refresh every 72 hours on Starter and every 48 hours on Agency.

Skillaeo

• Audits are counted per month rather than run as daily prompt tracking: 25 on Starter and 90 on Pro.
• Free covers GPT only, Starter adds Claude and only Pro adds Gemini; no plan lists Perplexity or Google AI Overviews.
• Models are queried through their APIs via a provider called KIE, which the methodology says may differ from the consumer chat apps.
• The terms say subscription charges are generally not refunded for a billing period already used.
