Which one is for you
Pick GEORank if
- Fits if you sell in Japan and want daily AI answer tracking for a few thousand yen a month
- Works for teams focused on Google's AI answers, which Starter follows through Gemini
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you don't read Japanese, as the site, app and support are all in Japanese
- Tight if you track more than a handful of questions: 5 prompts on Starter, 12 on Standard, and 10 more cost ¥2,500 a month
- Skip it if you need ChatGPT or Perplexity on a small budget, as both start at Standard for ¥6,300 a month, and Claude isn't listed at all
- Watch out: plans renew monthly with no refunds or prorating, and no yearly plan is listed
- Watch out: prices are in yen before tax, so the dollar figures here are rough
Pick LLMrefs if
- Fits if you already track SEO keywords and want the same lists checked in AI answers
- Works for agencies, since projects and seats are unlimited on one plan
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need daily data, as it refreshes about once a week per keyword
- Not for you if you need SSO, white-label reports or an enterprise tier, as none are listed
- Skip it if you need a price you can count on, as $79 is marked limited time only
- Watch out: no integrations are listed beyond the 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.
