geoSurge review (2026): is the free plan enough?
Free AI visibility tracking that runs on your own AI subscriptions
Our verdict
Third of our top three AI search visibility tools
For: Anyone who wants to pay nothing beyond their AI plans
geoSurge tracks how ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini mention a brand: share of answers, each mention in context, competitors, cited sources and rank over time, with all-time history. A desktop app for Mac, Windows and Linux runs your prompts daily through your own ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini subscriptions, or its cloud runs them on your own API keys, both at $0 with no cap on prompts or seats, API and MCP included. It is third because it covers 3 engines, none of them Perplexity, Copilot or Google's AI Overviews; model costs and limits are yours, and crawler data sits on a sales-only Enterprise plan.

Best for free tracking on your own AI subscriptions
geoSurge tracks ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini for free, with no cap on prompts or seats, by running prompts through a desktop app on your own AI subscriptions or in its cloud on your own API keys. But those three are the only engines named, the model costs and limits are yours, and the corpus-engineering work it's built around is on a sales-only Enterprise plan.
Who geoSurge is for
- Fits if you already pay for ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini and want tracking at no extra cost
- Works for developers happy to bring their own API keys or an OpenRouter account
Who geoSurge is not for
- Skip it if you need Perplexity, Copilot or Google's AI Overviews, as none is named
- Watch out: the desktop app runs prompts on your own computer, and cloud runs bill your own API keys, so model costs and limits are yours
- Not for you if you want corpus engineering, token probabilities or crawler data without a sales call, as they're Enterprise only with no published price
Why geoSurge gets a 3.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- AValue for moneyThe desktop app and cloud runs on your own API keys are both $0, with unlimited prompts and seats. The catch is that model usage goes on your own ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini plans or API bills. Enterprise has no published price.
- AFree plan and trialFree with no cap on prompts or seats, with visibility, competitors, sources, the API and MCP included. You need your own AI subscriptions or API keys for it to run.
- CFeaturesShare of answers, mentions in context, competitors, cited sources and rank over time, with all-time history. The gap the listing names: only ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini are covered, with no Perplexity, Copilot or AI Overviews.
- CEase of useNo rating on record. You install the desktop collector and use it with your AI subscriptions, or connect API keys or OpenRouter for cloud runs, before anything is tracked.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb plus a desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux, with a REST API, CSV and JSON export and an MCP server for Claude and ChatGPT. No phone app.

Keep it
Nothing geoSurge does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 3 things listed below take a company.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 3.0 is higher than 154 of the 157 other AI search visibility tools we grade.
What you could not
- The same prompts asked of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI answers every day, and the answers kept.
- Apps for macOS, Windows and Linux that stay in step with each other.
- It plugs into other products, ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. geoSurge’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.
What is geoSurge?
geoSurge is a London-based platform that tracks how ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini mention a brand. Its free tier runs prompts through a desktop app using the AI subscriptions a user already pays for, or in its cloud with the user's own API keys. The sales-only Enterprise plan adds what geoSurge calls corpus engineering: publishing material about a brand for models to learn from at training time.
Worth knowing
- Only ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini are covered; Perplexity, Copilot and Google AI Overviews are not named.
- The free desktop app runs collections on your own computer, and cloud runs use your own API keys, so model costs and limits are yours.
- Enterprise is sold through a call with no published price, and corpus engineering, probabilities and crawler data are limited to it.
