How we grade them
| 2.4GPALLMClicksFair | 2.2GPALLMrefsFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | A$159 once for Starter, with 300 checks and 50 page audits a month, is under four months of this category's middle subscription at $49. The catch: it's a limited-spot deal, and the page doesn't say what one check covers. | 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 | CNo free plan, but a 14-day free trial on every package with no card, and a 30-day money-back guarantee once you buy. A few free checkers sit on the site too. | CNo free plan, but a 7-day free trial, and signing up needs no credit card. |
| Features | CA 120-point audit, daily scores, position and sentiment per model with alerts, competitor benchmarks, citation sources, an on-page optimizer, fan-out coverage and AI referral tracking. The gaps: Google's AI Overviews aren't among the four engines it names, and what a check covers is unstated. | 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 set up projects and prompts, and with no word on what a check covers, it's hard to tell how far 300 a month will stretch. | 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 integrations or API listed. AI referral visits are read from your analytics, but the listing doesn't name which tools it connects to. | BWeb only, with no desktop or phone app and no integrations on record. The one plan includes an API and CSV export. |
| Best for | paying once for AI visibility tracking | 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.
