The report card
Best for a free daily check on five prompts
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
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.
Who BrandBeacon is for
- Fits if you want a free daily look at up to five prompts
- Works for brands whose buyers use ChatGPT and Perplexity, the two engines live today
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you need Claude or Gemini today, as both are still coming soon
- Not for you if you want to see prices before a sign-up or demo
- Tight if you track more than five prompts on the free tier
- Too light for knowing what AI says about you, as that feature is marked coming soon
- Watch out: the newest blog posts date from May 2025, so check it's still kept up

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- The same prompts asked of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI answers every day, and the answers kept.
- Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
What this rests on. BrandBeacon’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.
