Airefs review (2026): is it worth $24 a month, billed yearly?
Tracks your brand in ChatGPT answers and finds ways to get cited
Airefs report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 23, 2026
Best for acting on your ChatGPT visibility, not just measuring it
Airefs tracks how ChatGPT mentions you against competitors, then suggests articles, threads to join and sites to pitch. It watches only ChatGPT, with Google AI Overviews as a $10 to $30 add-on, so Gemini, Claude and Perplexity are out. Lite at $24 a month yearly checks every other day in one country and keeps just 7 days of history.
Who Airefs is for
- Fits if ChatGPT is the AI engine your buyers actually use
- Works for small teams who want articles and outreach drafts in the same tool as tracking
Who Airefs is not for
- Skip it if you need Gemini, Claude or Perplexity tracked, as it covers ChatGPT only
- Tight if you're on Lite, with checks every other day, 1 country and 7 days of history
- Pricey if you want AI Overviews, a $10 to $30 monthly add-on, or extra articles at $7 each
- Watch out: there's no free plan, only a 7-day trial, and the listing doesn't say if it needs a card
- Not for you if you need an API: none is listed, only a read-only MCP server from Pro
Why Airefs gets a 2.4
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- BValue for moneyLite is $24 a month billed yearly, or $29 monthly, for 25 prompts, 1 article a month and crawler analytics. That's inside the cheaper quarter of this category, which starts at $29, though AI Overviews adds $10 to $30 a month.
- CFree plan and trialA free 7-day trial, and no free plan. The listing doesn't say whether a card is needed.
- CFeaturesShare of voice against up to 20 rivals, cited URLs, crawler and AI traffic, articles, discussions and outreach drafts. The gap is a big one: it tracks only ChatGPT, with Google AI Overviews as an add-on, so no Gemini, Claude or Perplexity.
- CEase of useNo rating on record. Setup is a domain, prompts and competitors, but there's a lot of growth work on top of the tracking to get through.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with no desktop or phone app. From Pro, a read-only MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor query your data. No API is listed.

Keep Airefs, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Airefs you could make: link outreach and long-form writing. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.4 is higher than 125 of the 157 other AI search visibility tools we grade. It costs $288 a year.
What you could make
- Link outreach and long-form writing: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- The same prompts asked of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI answers every day, and the answers kept.
- A tracking script and a database that counts every visit.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Airefs’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
