Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.6
GPA, above 146 of the 157 other AI search visibility tools we grade
Beamtrace checks whether ChatGPT recommends a business when asked the questions its customers would ask, with the answer, position and competitors recorded for each prompt. It generates the starting prompts from the business profile and location, and turns gaps into improvements that can be exported to task trackers. It comes from Elfsight, the website widget company, and is aimed at small businesses and agencies.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Beamtrace, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You can add or delete prompts, not edit them.

The report card
Best for small businesses checking ChatGPT only
Beamtrace checks whether ChatGPT recommends your business for questions it writes from your profile and location, and sends suggested fixes to Trello, Jira, Asana or monday.com. But ChatGPT is the only engine tracked today, the $24 plan checks 10 prompts every 3 days, and daily checks need the $120 Premium plan.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Starter is $24 a month for 10 prompts checked every 3 days, inside this category's cheaper quarter, which starts at $29. Yearly billing saves 17%. It's ChatGPT only, and daily checks need Premium at $120. |
| Free plan and trial | C | No free plan, but a 14-day free trial on every plan with no card needed. |
| Features | C | A visibility score, prompts generated from your profile, competitors found in the answers, AI reputation monitoring and fixes sent to task trackers. The gap the listing names: only ChatGPT is tracked, with Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, DeepSeek and Grok coming soon. |
| Ease of use | B | No rating on record, but it writes the starting prompts from your business profile and location and finds the competitors for you, so there's little to set up. You can add or delete prompts, not edit them. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web only, with no desktop or phone app. Fixes go to Trello, Jira, Linear, Asana, Todoist or monday.com, and the MCP server works with Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code and JetBrains. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
