Which one is for you

Pick Siftly if

  • Fits if you want to see weekly AI answers about your brand before paying anything
  • Works for content teams that want articles published and outreach sent from their own Gmail

Look elsewhere if

  • Tight if you stay free, with 10 prompts on 2 engines checked once a week and 30 days of history
  • Pricey if you need GA4, Search Console and crawler tracking, which start at Growth for $249 a month
  • Skip it if you need more than 3 engines or more than one country on Starter, as both are capped by plan
  • Watch out: every AI answer counts against a monthly allowance, so one prompt on 4 engines daily uses 4 a day
  • Skip it if you need SSO, as it's Enterprise only

Pick Visby if

  • Fits if you'd rather get a ranked to-do list than another dashboard
  • Works for teams whose AI visibility leans on G2 and Trustpilot reviews

Look elsewhere if

  • Tight if you want to track more than a handful of prompts, with 15 on Starter checked about monthly
  • Skip it if Perplexity or Copilot matter to you, as neither can be tracked
  • Pricey if you need more than one login or domain, as both mean Growth at $199
  • Watch out: every plan tracks only 3 of its 4 engines, so one of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or AI Overviews is left out
  • Watch out: the trial's length and card terms aren't stated, and prices are monthly only

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.
