Chatbeat review (2026): is it worth $99 a month?
AI brand visibility, sentiment and source tracking from Brand24
Chatbeat report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 23, 2026
Best for AI answer tracking with suggested prompts
Chatbeat, from the makers of Brand24, tracks where you show up in AI answers, how you're described, which sites the answers lean on and what to do next, and it suggests prompts to track. But Essential is $99 a month for 30 prompts on three engines with 1 project and 2 seats, Gemini and Copilot wait for $299, and Claude and the API are Enterprise only.
Who Chatbeat is for
- Fits if you're new to AI search and want suggested prompts to start from
- Works for agencies on Business at $599 a month, which adds white-labeled client reports
Who Chatbeat is not for
- Pricey if you only need a few prompts, at $99 a month for 30
- Skip it if Gemini, Copilot or AI Mode matter to you, since they start at $299 a month
- Not for you if you need Claude or an API, which are listed only on Enterprise
- Tight if you're on Essential, with 1 project, 2 seats and no exports
- Watch out: the pricing page doesn't say whether prices are billed monthly or yearly
Why Chatbeat gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyEssential is $99 a month for 30 prompts on ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, with 1 project and 2 seats. That's where this category's dearer quarter starts. Gemini, Copilot and AI Mode need Advanced at $299.
- CFree plan and trialNo free plan, but a 10-day free trial that needs no credit card. After that, the cheapest plan is $99 a month.
- BFeaturesIt covers the whole job: how often and where you're named, your share against rivals, suggested prompts, the sources answers draw on, sentiment and recommended actions. Engines are the catch, as Essential reads only three of the six.
- CEase of useNo rating on record. There are suggested prompts, but you still pick prompts and competitors and learn the dashboards before the numbers mean much.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only. Looker Studio is the one connection listed, and the API is kept for the custom-priced Enterprise plan.

Keep Chatbeat, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Chatbeat you could make: reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It costs $1,188 a year.
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.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Chatbeat’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.
