Which one is for you
Pick RivalSee if
- Fits if you think in customer types rather than keyword lists, and weekly data is enough
- Works for agencies that pitch clients with co-branded reports, on the Enterprise / Agencies plan
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need daily numbers, as it refreshes weekly on Startup or twice a week on Pro
- Not for you if reports must stay private without you changing a setting, as they're public links by default
- Pricey if you run lots of sites, at $59.99 a month for each extra one, or $109.99 on Pro
- Watch out: there's no free plan or trial, only one baseline scan with a single persona on ChatGPT and Gemini
- Watch out: the FAQ says plans start at $59, but the pricing table shows $69.99, and no integrations or API are listed
Pick TrackAIMentions if
- Fits if you need a one-off AI visibility audit for a pitch or a renewal
- Works for agencies that want a white-label Deep Report to hand a client, at $179
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want to watch changes week to week, as each re-run is another $19 or $39
- Not for you if Google's AI Overviews are part of the picture, as they aren't checked
- Too light for teams that need a dashboard, an API, client workspaces or scheduled reports
- Pricey if you'd buy often: one $49 Snapshot costs about a month of a mid-priced tracker

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.
