BrandBeacon tracks how often ChatGPT and Perplexity mention and cite you, compares you with rivals on chosen topics and shows the domains AI quotes most. A free tier reports on five prompts a day. Paid prices aren't published, Claude, Gemini and what AI says about you are still marked coming soon, and the newest blog posts date from May 2025. - **Value for money: C.** No price is published. There's no pricing page, and paid plans are only priced after sign-up or on a demo call. - **Free plan and trial: C.** A free tier, its FAQ says, gives a report on up to five prompts every day. Five prompts is a cap you'll reach fast. - **Features: C.** Mentions, citations and competitor share on chosen topics, the most-cited domains and URLs, regional prompts and scheduled reports. The gaps: only ChatGPT and Perplexity are live, and what AI says about you is marked coming soon. - **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. You pick topics, phrases and rivals before the dashboards fill in. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, with no integrations or API listed. These are ToolGPA's own grades.

The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/ai-visibility ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** The plain part of BrandBeacon you could make: reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 90 of the 157 other AI search visibility tools grade higher. - You could make: Reports: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: The same prompts asked of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI answers every day, and the answers kept. - You could not: Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
