Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if Claude matters, as it's an add-on from $39 a month and only for supported countries
- Tight if you have more than one brand, since Lite covers a single project and 25 prompts
- Not for you if you want to try it first, as there's only a one-off report and a 30-day money-back guarantee
- Pricey if you outgrow Lite, as Growth jumps to $99 a month for 150 prompts
- Watch out: Copilot isn't tracked, no integrations or API are listed, and branded reports need Enterprise

Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you track a lot every day, since monitoring pauses when the credits run out until renewal or a top-up

- Pricey if you need the REST API, which starts at Pro+ for $229 a month, or white label at $385
- Watch out: Claude costs 2 credits a run against 0.25 for ChatGPT, so Essentials' 120 credits go fast
- Watch out: extra brand dashboard slots are bought separately in the app
How we grade them

|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BLite is $19 a month for 25 prompts checked daily in five engines. That's inside this category's cheaper quarter, which starts at $29, but not under 60% of it, $17.40. The step up is steep, though: Growth is $99 for 150 prompts. | A$17 a month on yearly billing is just under $17.40, the line for an A in this category. But Essentials' 120 credits cover about five prompts a day on ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity at 0.25 a run. Pro, at $99 a month for 1,200 credits, is where daily tracking gets room. |
| Free plan and trial | DNo free plan and no trial. You get one free visibility report, and every plan has a 30-day money-back guarantee, which isn't the same as trying it. | CNo free plan, just a 7-day trial of Pro with a limited credit allowance. Enough to see how fast credits drain, not much more. |
| Features | CDaily runs in five engines with the full answers, every competitor ranked, cited domains and URLs, and prompt ideas by country. But Claude is a paid add-on from $39 a month, Copilot isn't tracked and branded reports are Enterprise only. | AAll 17+ engines on every plan, Claude and DeepSeek included, with visibility, sentiment, citations and query fan-out, plus things few rivals track: your place in AI local and map packs, and the questions ChatGPT asks before it recommends brands. Page audits cover what to fix. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. It suggests prompts from your site, but you still edit the list and pick countries before the daily data builds up. | CNo rating on record. A run costs 0.25 to 2 credits depending on the engine, and tracking pauses when credits run out, so there are sums to do before you set a schedule. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only, with no integrations or API named in the listing. | BWeb only, with no desktop or phone app. Looker Studio, Google Sheets, Cloudflare and an MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, with the REST API from Pro+ at $229. |

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.
