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. - **Value for money: A.** The 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. - **Free plan and trial: A.** Free 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. - **Features: C.** Share 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. - **Ease of use: C.** No 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. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web 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.
