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 SiteSignal if
- Fits if you're an agency adding AI search to what you sell, under your logo
- Works for businesses that want AI's answers about their prices and services checked daily
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you're one small business, at $299 a month for a single domain
- Tight if you have lots of questions to track, at 30 a domain, or 60 per client on Agency
- Skip it if Claude's answers matter, as Claude tracking is still to come
- Watch out: the $89 and Agency plans need your own AI keys, about $1 per question per engine a month on top
- Watch out: other countries are Agency only, at $49 a month per country per client domain

| Value for money | CPro is $125 a month, billed monthly, for 100 prompts per model, 20 articles and 200 audits. That's the top of this category's usual range, just under the dearest tenth at $129, and add-on engines are priced only through sales. | DSMB is $299 a month for 1 domain and 30 questions, in this category's dearest tenth.

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.
