What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

Its GBD Compass platform tracks brand mentions, citations and sentiment in answers from ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, alongside Google organic and paid results, shopping ads, competitor pricing and minimum advertised price checks. It is sold through sales with a dedicated engagement team.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about GrowByData, taken from its own pages and our grades.
But there's no published price, no trial and no self-serve sign-up, Claude isn't on its list, and no integrations or API are named.

The report card
Best for enterprise retailers watching search and AI by local market
GrowByData is built for big brands and retailers. It tracks how ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI features talk about you, next to Google organic, ads, shopping and competitor pricing, down to a US metro area. But there's no published price, no trial and no self-serve sign-up, Claude isn't on its list, and no integrations or API are named. Small teams should look elsewhere.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No price is published. Plans are arranged through sales calls and audits, so the price is only given on a sales call, and we can't set it against what the rest of this category charges. |
| Free plan and trial | F | Nothing free at all: no free plan, no trial and no self-serve sign-up. Everything goes through sales. |
| Features | C | AI mentions, citations and sentiment, filters by US metro or business line, Google SERP tracking to zip code, ad and shopping monitoring, and pricing checks. The listing's own gap: Claude isn't among the engines named. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. It's an enterprise service with a dedicated engagement team, so expect onboarding through them rather than signing up and starting. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, and the listing names no integrations or API. |
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 GrowByData is for
- Fits if you're a large retailer and need AI and search visibility split by US metro area
- Works for brands that track competitor ads, shopping prices and reseller pricing next to AI answers
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you're a small business, as it's built and sold for enterprises through an engagement team
- Skip it if you want a price or a trial before talking to sales, as neither is offered
- Skip it if Claude matters to you, as it isn't among the engines named
- Watch out: no integrations or API are listed, and it's web only
Good to know
Good for
- Enterprise brands and retailers tracking search and AI answers by local market

Worth knowing
- No prices are published; plans are arranged through sales calls and audits.

Part 02 · Pricing
What it costs
Every plan, the free plan, ways to pay less and how prices have moved
GrowByData's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site.
Nothing free at all: no free plan, no trial and no self-serve sign-up.
We could not confirm GrowByData’s current prices from its own site, so this guide lists no plans. growbydata.com has them.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
The plain part of GrowByData you could make: reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 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.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- The same prompts asked of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI answers every day, and the answers kept.
- Daily checks of where your pages rank in search results.
- Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
What this rests on. GrowByData’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.
