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. - **Value for money: B.** Lite 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. - **Free plan and trial: C.** A free 7-day trial, and no free plan. The listing doesn't say whether a card is needed. - **Features: C.** Share 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. - **Ease of use: C.** No 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. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, with no desktop or phone app. From Pro, a read-only MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor query your data.
