Which one is for you
Pick Searchable if
- Fits if you want tracking, articles and site audits on one bill
- Works for teams where many people need access, as projects and seats are unlimited on every plan
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if Gemini or AI Mode matter, as both are add-ons priced only through sales
- Tight if you need the API, Looker Studio or white-label reports, which start at Scale for $400 a month
- Not for you if you want live citations from Claude or Grok, as the Lite add-ons have web search off
- Watch out: Pro keeps only 12 months of data, and yearly prices are hidden until you flip the toggle
Pick ShowIn AI if
- Fits if you want articles written and published for you each month
- Works for sites on WordPress or Shopify, the two places it publishes to
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you track more than 15 prompts, which is all Starter's $99 a month gives
- Skip it if Gemini, Claude, Copilot or AI Mode matter, as they're Enterprise only
- Not for you if you won't hand over a card to try it, since it's charged on day 8
- Too light for several brands, as every self-serve plan has one project
- Watch out: the homepage says four engines are monitored, but the pricing table lists three below Enterprise

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.
