- Watch out: it isn't self-serve, so Relixir's team configures, launches and manages it for you

How we grade them
| 1.8GPARelixirWeak | 1.8GPAScrunchWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo price is published: Rex is sold on custom pricing that's only given on a sales call after a demo, so there's nothing to set against the rest of the category. | DCore is $250 a month for 125 prompts and 5,000 responses, one brand and 5 users. That's well into this category's dearest tenth, which starts at $129. Agency Core is $500. |
| Free plan and trial | FNothing free on record: no free plan and no trial, just a demo to book. | CNo free plan, just a 7-day free trial of Core. A week is enough to see the first answers come in, not to watch a trend. |
| Features | CMonitoring, content written and published with schema, page refreshes every 30 to 60 days, backlink and Reddit outreach, and site audits. But the engines it names leave out Gemini and Copilot, and it publishes to your CMS on its own schedule. | CPosition, sentiment and cited sources per prompt, with personas, funnel stages, site audits, AI bot traffic and product-level shopping data. The gap is engines: Core watches four, and Gemini, Claude, AI Mode, Grok and Meta AI need Enterprise. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. It isn't self-serve: Relixir's team configures and launches Rex for you, so the start is a demo and a setup period. | CNo rating on record. You set prompts, competitors, personas and funnel stages before the data says much, and Core caps you at 5 competitors and one country. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb only, connected to your CMS, Google Analytics, Search Console, CRM and Slack, and it reports AI traffic and AI-sourced leads. | CWeb only, with no desktop or phone app. Looker Studio is the one integration on record, and the API and SSO come only with Enterprise. |
| Best for | B2B teams handing AI search work to an agent | brands that want monitoring plus pages for AI agents |

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.
