GetIntel vs Sorn.ai (2026): which should you pick?

Pick GetIntel if

• Fits if you're a founder who runs your own marketing and can review code changes
• Works for developers who want fixes delivered as changes to their own site

Look elsewhere if

• Watch out: the 7-day trial needs a card and charges on day 8, and refunds are at GetIntel's discretion
• Too light for acting on gaps at $29, as Monitor only tracks; tasks, drafted fixes, Reddit signals and AI traffic start at Pro for $79
• Skip it if Claude matters, as it's only on Growth at $149 and checked weekly
• Pricey if you're an agency with many clients, at $79 a client a month for 3 to 9 clients and $59 from 10

Pick Sorn.ai if

• Fits if you want AI crawler and referral data next to your prompt tracking
• Works for agencies tracking up to seven brands on one account

Look elsewhere if

• Watch out: the free trial lasts only 3 days, and the terms say fees aren't refunded unless stated otherwise
• Tight if you start on Starter: ChatGPT and Gemini only, refreshed weekly, with 30 days of history and 1 seat
• Pricey if you need Claude, Perplexity or daily refreshes, which start at Professional for $99 a month
• Skip it if you need the API, YouTube citations or the E-E-A-T audit, which only the Enterprise plan lists

GetIntel

GetIntel

Daily topic scores

Buyer questions are grouped into topics, each scored daily on citation rate, share of voice and average position against the rivals AI names.

Answers from the live interfaces

Captures what each engine shows in its own interface rather than an API response, and records whether you were recommended, mentioned or left out.

Ranked, drafted fixes

From Pro, each gap becomes a task across on-page, off-page, community and technical work, with a draft such as llms.txt, schema or a Wikidata entry.

Fixes shipped by your coding agent

Fixes go to Claude Code or Cursor as a reviewable change to your own site, or publish to WordPress or Ghost where connected. Nothing ships unapproved.

Reddit signals and AI traffic

Pro adds a weekly read of the Reddit threads in your market, brand perception, and the AI crawlers and AI visitors reaching your site.

Reports, API and MCP

Pitch reports on prospects, 10 to 75 a month by plan, plus a Looker Studio connector, CSV export, and API and MCP access on every plan.
