## Key features

- **Shared keyword and prompt budget:** Each plan's daily volume can go to Google keywords, AI prompts or any mix, at a fixed rate of one prompt for ten keywords.
- **AI answer monitoring:** Every plan tracks prompts daily across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Mode and AI Overviews, with citation, brand mention and prompt research.
- **Rank tracking and SERP analytics:** Daily Google rankings by device and location in 200+ markets, pixel depth on the page, 65+ SERP feature types and share of voice.
- **Rewind:** Replay archived Google results pages and AI answers from any past date to see how they changed.
- **Dashboards, reports and API:** Unlimited custom dashboards, alerts, CSV exports and API access on every plan; Pro adds Data Studio templates and scheduled email reports.
- **Log analysis and BigQuery:** Enterprise add-ons analyze server logs for AI crawler behavior and pipe search data into BigQuery for BI teams.

## Good for

- SEO teams that want Google rankings and AI answers tracked in one tool
- Companies with many users or domains, since neither is capped
- Data teams that pull search data into their own BI stack

## Worth knowing

- No free plan or free trial is mentioned on the pricing page; it offers demos instead.
- The daily budget is shared, so each tracked prompt uses up ten keywords of volume.
- Data Studio templates and scheduled email reports start at Pro; SSO, log analysis and BigQuery need Enterprise.
- Using its data to ground or train AI models needs a separate license with its own fees.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.0 out of 4**, graded Oct 23, 2026. DemandSphere tracks your Google rankings and AI answers in the same tool, from one daily budget you split between keywords and prompts, checked daily on five AI engines. But each prompt uses up ten keywords of budget, there's no free plan or trial, only demos, scheduled reports start at Pro for $208 a month yearly, and SSO needs Enterprise.

- **Value for money: C.** Starter is $79 a month billed yearly, or $95 monthly, for 100 prompts a day or 1,000 keywords, with unlimited users and domains and the API. That's above this category's middle, with daily checks and no seat fees.
- **Free plan and trial: F.** Nothing free at all. The pricing page mentions no free plan or trial, and offers demos instead.
- **Features: B.** Daily AI answer checks with citations and mentions on five engines, Google rank tracking in 200+ markets with 65+ SERP features, replays of past results and AI answers, dashboards and alerts. It covers the whole job, and Google rankings on top.
- **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. You split one daily budget between keywords and prompts, at 10 keywords per prompt, and set up dashboards before it all comes together.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, with no desktop or phone app. It connects to Search Console, GA4, Google Drive, Slack, Looker Studio and BigQuery, and every plan has API access.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace DemandSphere you would be making search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. 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. It costs $948 a year.

- You could not: Search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date.
- 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: Daily checks of where your pages rank in search results.
- You could not: Millions of server log lines read to see what search bots crawl.
- You could not: Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Google Search Console, Google Analytics 4 and Google Drive among them, and has an API.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
