Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 125 of the 157 other AI search visibility tools we grade
CiteCue generates buying questions from a brand's site and tracks how AI engines answer them, with citations, competitors, sentiment and false claims to correct. Every plan runs a daily site audit and ranks the gaps into a fix queue. From the Pro plan it also drafts the fixes, and on sites behind Cloudflare it can serve AI-optimized versions of pages to AI crawlers without changing the site itself.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about CiteCue, taken from its own pages and our grades.
The questions are generated for you, but Auto-Fix needs your site behind Cloudflare and each fix approved.
- 1
Best for AI tracking with fixes served to AI crawlers
CiteCue tracks how AI engines answer buying questions drawn from your own site, runs a daily site audit on every plan, and from Pro drafts the fixes and can serve them to AI crawlers through Cloudflare.

Paid plans start at $29 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $29 per month, billed monthly.
- 3
There is a free plan
1 brand project, 10 tracked prompts, 5 manual scans a month on Gemini, 10 assistant messages and the daily site audit. No card needed.
- 4
It runs on Web

Prompt monitoring
Generates buying questions from your site, which can be grounded in Search Console demand, and tracks mention rate, citation share and position.
- 6
Citations and competitors
Shows which sites AI cites in your market and for each competitor, and why rivals are picked, using a 13-factor analysis.
- 7
Sentiment and brand risk
Reports how positively AI describes the brand and flags outdated or false claims, such as a wrong refund policy, to correct.
- 8
A 2.4 GPA, above 125 of 157
That is against the other AI search visibility tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.

The report card
Best for AI tracking with fixes served to AI crawlers
CiteCue tracks how AI engines answer buying questions drawn from your own site, runs a daily site audit on every plan, and from Pro drafts the fixes and can serve them to AI crawlers through Cloudflare. But engines are rationed by plan. Starter at $29 is ChatGPT only, AI Overviews wait for Agency at $299, and Perplexity and Claude need the custom Enterprise plan.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Starter is $29 a month for 50 prompts checked daily, at the line where this category's cheaper quarter starts. It covers ChatGPT only and drafts no fixes, though. Pro is $89 for 2 engines, and prices are monthly only. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A free plan with no card: 1 brand, 10 prompts and 5 manual scans a month on Gemini only, plus the daily site audit. Pro and Agency have a 7-day free trial; Starter has none. |
| Features | C | Questions drawn from your site, citations, competitors, sentiment, false-claim alerts, a daily audit and drafted fixes from Pro. The gaps are in the listing: Perplexity, Claude, Copilot and Grok are Enterprise only, and Starter tracks one engine. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. The questions are generated for you, but Auto-Fix needs your site behind Cloudflare and each fix approved. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web only, with no desktop or phone app. It connects Search Console, Google Analytics, WordPress, Cloudflare, Slack, Telegram, Discord and Claude, with the API and MCP on Agency. |
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 CiteCue is for
- Fits if you want fixes drafted for you rather than a list of problems, from Pro at $89
- Works for online stores that want to see whether an AI agent can find prices and check out, on Agency
Who it is not for
- Skip it if Perplexity, Claude or Copilot matter, as they're tracked only on the custom Enterprise plan
- Tight if you stay free or on Starter: Free is Gemini only with 5 manual scans a month, and Starter is ChatGPT only
- Pricey if you need AI Overviews, brand risk alerts, the API or MCP, which all need Agency at $299 a month
- Watch out: Auto-Fix works only on sites that run through Cloudflare
- Not for you if you want yearly billing or a refund, as prices are monthly and fees aren't refunded
Good to know
Good for
- Teams that want fixes drafted for them, not only a list of problems
- Online stores checking whether AI agents can find prices and check out
- Agencies running up to 10 brand projects on one account
Worth knowing
- Free covers only Gemini and Starter only ChatGPT; Perplexity, Claude, Copilot, Grok and DeepSeek are tracked only on the custom Enterprise plan.
- Drafted fixes and Auto-Fix start at Pro; Brand Risk, Autopilot, agent testing and API and MCP access need Agency at $299 a month.
- AI Auto-Fix needs the site to run through Cloudflare.
- Prices are monthly only, and the terms say fees are non-refundable except where the law requires.

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
Nothing CiteCue does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 4 things listed below take a company.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.4 is higher than 125 of the 157 other AI search visibility tools we grade. It costs $348 a year.
What you could not
- The same prompts asked of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI answers every day, and the answers kept.
- A crawler that checks every page of a site.
- A score built from what the top results for each keyword cover.
- It plugs into other products, Google Search Console, Google Analytics and WordPress among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. CiteCue’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.
