Part 01 · Overview

Welcome

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

2.2

GPA, above 68 of the 157 other AI search visibility tools we grade

KIME tracks how AI engines such as ChatGPT, Google AI Mode and Perplexity answer chosen prompts, with visibility, placement, sentiment, share of voice and citations against competitors. Its AWX agent carries out a monthly number of actions such as writing content, drafting outreach or fixing site structure. It also builds and manages ChatGPT ad campaigns.

To get you started, here are 9 things to know about KIME, taken from its own pages and our grades.

  1. 1

    Best for AI visibility tracking with an agent that does the fixes

  2. 2

    Paid plans start at $109 a month

    As its pricing page puts it: $109 per month for 50 prompts on 2 AI engines, billed monthly.

The report card

Best for AI visibility tracking with an agent that does the fixes

KIME tracks how ChatGPT and Google's AI Mode answer your prompts every day, with sentiment, citations and share of voice, and its agent carries out some fixes. But Explorer at $109 covers 2 engines, Perplexity means Core at $459, Claude costs more than the other engines, agent actions are capped at 10 a month, and cancelled yearly or quarterly plans run to the end of the term.

ToolGPA report cardKIMEGraded Oct 23, 2026
SubjectGradeComment
Value for moneyCExplorer is $109 a month (€99) for 50 prompts on 2 engines, 10 agent actions, 5 seats, MCP and the API. That's above this category's dearer quarter, short of its dearest tenth. Yearly billing saves 15%.
Free plan and trialCA 7-day free trial of Explorer or Core with the full features, started from the pricing page with no sales call. There's no free plan.
FeaturesCDaily tracking by country and language, sentiment, citations, prompt volume estimates, an agent that writes content or outreach, ChatGPT ads and a site check. The gaps: Explorer covers 2 engines, Core 3, and agent actions are capped monthly.
Ease of useCNo rating on record. It suggests prompts, but you still pick engines, countries and competitors, and decide what the 10 agent actions go on.
Platforms and integrationsBWeb only, with no desktop or phone app. Every plan has MCP for ChatGPT and Claude, an API and a Looker Studio connection.
Grade point averageFair, out of 4.02.2

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 KIME is for

  • Fits if you want an agent to carry out some fixes, within 10 actions a month on Explorer
  • Works for teams starting to run ChatGPT ads, as the campaign builder is on every plan

Who it is not for

  • Pricey if you need Perplexity too, as a third engine means Core at $459 a month
  • Skip it if Claude tracking matters, as KIME prices it well above the other engines
  • Tight if you want lots of agent work, with 10 actions a month on Explorer and 30 on Core
  • Watch out: quarterly and annual plans keep running to the end of the term when you cancel
  • Watch out: Grok, DeepSeek, Copilot and Meta AI are only on Enterprise, and prices show in euros by default

Good to know

Good for

  • Marketing teams that want tracking and agent-run fixes in one tool
  • Brands starting to advertise inside ChatGPT
  • Agencies managing AI visibility for several clients

Worth knowing

  • Prices show in euros by default; the dollar figures here come from the page's currency switcher data.
  • Explorer covers 2 AI engines and Core 3; each extra engine raises the price, with Claude priced well above the others.
  • Agent executions are capped each month: 10 on Explorer, 30 on Core, 40 to 100 on Enterprise.
  • Quarterly and annual plans run to the end of the committed term when cancelled.

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

To replace KIME you would be making an AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

It costs $1,308 a year.

What you could not

  • An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
  • The same prompts asked of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI answers every day, and the answers kept.
  • A crawler that checks every page of a site.
  • Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
  • It plugs into other products, Looker Studio, ChatGPT and Claude among them, and has an API.

What this rests on. KIME’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.
