Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
3.0
GPA, above 154 of the 157 other AI search visibility tools we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about geoSurge, taken from its own pages and our grades.
- 1
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.
- 2
There is a free plan
Unlimited prompts on ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini through the desktop app and your own subscriptions, or in the cloud with your own API keys. Unlimited seats.
- 3
It runs on 4 platforms
Web, macOS, Windows and Linux.
- 4
Desktop collector
A menu bar or system tray app for macOS, Windows and Linux runs your prompts daily through the ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini subscriptions you already have.
- 5
Cloud runs with your own keys
Connect API keys or an OpenRouter account to run prompts in geoSurge's cloud instead, with nothing to install and more models available.
- 6
Visibility dashboard
Share of answers that mention you, each mention in context, competitors, cited sources and rank over time, with all-time history and daily to weekly runs.
- 7

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. No phone app. |
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 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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Teams that already pay for ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini and want free tracking
- Developers happy to bring their own API keys or an OpenRouter account
- Large brands interested in what models learn about them in training
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.

Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
