How we grade them

1.8GPAScrunchWeak2.0GPAXFunnelFair
Value for money
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.
CNo price is published for the full platform; it is custom-quoted.
Free plan and trial
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.
DOne free audit of 50 queries in one language and region. It is a single run, not an ongoing plan.
Features
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.
CQuestion research, visibility measurement, citation analysis, experiments and managed services. Daily monitoring, bot detection and technical audits are Enterprise only, and Meta AI and DeepSeek are marked coming soon.
Ease of use
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.
CNo store rating on record, and it works through an audit and sales process rather than a quick start.
Platforms and integrations
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.
BWeb app with Google Analytics and Slack connections, covering ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity. No desktop or phone apps.

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.
