Gauge tracks 600 prompts a day and writes 18 articles a month from the gaps it finds, publishing them to Webflow, Framer, Sanity or GitHub. But the only priced plan is $599 a month with no trial, it covers just ChatGPT, AI Mode and Copilot, and tracking Claude or Grok means paying for your own API key. Small teams should look elsewhere. - **Value for money: D.** Growth is $599 a month, the only priced plan, for 600 daily prompts on 3 platforms and 18 articles. That's about $1 per prompt a month, but the floor is about twelve times this category's middle of $49 and deep in its dearest tenth. - **Free plan and trial: F.** Nothing free: no free plan and no advertised trial. The 1,000 free credits are for Gauge Agents, a separate product. - **Features: C.** Daily tracking with competitor and citation analysis, an Action Center, a content engine, the Ask Gauge agent and agency mode. The gap the listing names: Growth covers only ChatGPT, AI Mode and Copilot, and AI Overviews, Gemini, Perplexity and sentiment need Enterprise. - **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. There's a CMS to connect for publishing, and tracking Claude or Grok means bringing your own Anthropic or xAI API key. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, with no desktop or phone app. It connects to GA4, Search Console, DataForSEO, Webflow, Framer, Sanity, GitHub and Slack, with MCP for AI assistants.

What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 145 of the 157 other AI search visibility tools grade higher. It costs $7,188 a year. - You could make: Long-form writing: 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: A score built from what the top results for each keyword cover. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Google Analytics 4, Google Search Console and DataForSEO among them. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
