AppearOnAI scores how ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity describe you, compares you with rivals and gives a fix list with a 30-day roadmap, for $99 once. Ongoing tracking is $249 a month and only weekly, real-time is Enterprise only, and its pages disagree on both Enterprise's price and which engines it covers. - **Value for money: D.** Tracking starts at $249 a month for 100 prompts, in this category's dearest tenth, and refreshes weekly. The $99 one-time audit is cheaper, but it's a single snapshot. - **Free plan and trial: D.** No free plan or trial, but one free AI visibility analysis with no credit card. It shows where you stand, and after that the audit is $99. - **Features: C.** A visibility score, recommendations and a roadmap, competitor and sentiment analysis, citation tracking and AutoBlogger on Growth. The gaps: weekly updates only, and its pages disagree on which engines are covered. - **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. The audit needs little from you, but tracking means 100 target prompts to choose and a list of recommendations to act on. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, with no integrations listed. The API and white-label reports are on the sales-led Enterprise and Agency plans. These are ToolGPA's own grades.

What surrounds it you could not. The 1 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 145 of the 157 other AI search visibility tools grade higher. It costs $99, paid once. - You could make: Long-form writing and reports: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: The same prompts asked of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI answers every day, and the answers kept. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it. **Tags:** AI search visibility, Long-form writing, Reports ## Alternatives - [Otterly.AI](https://toolgpa.com/tools/otterly-ai): Daily brand and citation tracking across AI search engines.
