Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.8
GPA, above 13 of the 157 other AI search visibility tools we grade
KNWN Visibility runs prompts through ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity and reports how often a brand is named, how it is framed and which sources the answers cite, alongside competitors. It also lists trending AI queries and topics where competitors lead, with content suggestions. The same company sells DualWeb, an AI-readable copy of a site, and builds custom MCP servers and ChatGPT apps for stores.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about KNWN, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You pick the prompts and competitors yourself, though the free scan gives you a starting score straight away.

The report card
Best for a simple AI visibility dashboard
KNWN runs your prompts through ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity and shows how often you're named, how you're framed and which sources get cited, next to your rivals. But $49 a month buys only 10 prompts, Google's AI Overviews and Copilot aren't covered, there's no trial or integration, and the page doesn't say whether yearly billing exists.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Pro is $49 a month for 10 prompts, 1 brand and 1 user, in the middle of this category's prices. Ten prompts is very few for that money, and Growth's 25 are $99. |
| Free plan and trial | D | No free plan or trial. Signing up runs one free scan with no card, which shows where you stand but doesn't keep tracking. |
| Features | C | Prompt tracking with competitors, citation analysis, topic gaps, trending AI queries and content suggestions. The gaps: four engines only, with no Google AI Overviews or Copilot, and small prompt limits. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. You pick the prompts and competitors yourself, though the free scan gives you a starting score straight away. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with no integrations or API listed. |
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 KNWN is for
- Fits if you only need four AI engines watched for a few prompts
- Works for small brands that want topic ideas where rivals show up and they don't
Who it is not for
- Tight if you track more than a handful of questions, with 10 prompts on Pro and 50 on Scale
- Skip it if Google AI Overviews or Copilot matter to you, as neither is tracked
- Not for you if you want a trial before paying, beyond the one free scan at sign-up
- Pricey if you need several logins, as Pro has 1 user and Growth's 3 users cost $99 a month
- Watch out: no integrations or API are listed, and DualWeb and MCP builds are scoped separately on a call
Good to know
Good for
- Founders and small brands wanting a low-cost AI visibility dashboard
- Online stores also weighing how AI shopping agents read their site
- Agencies that want to resell AI visibility reports under their own brand
Worth knowing
- Prompt limits are small: 10 on Pro, 25 on Growth and 50 on Scale.
- Signing up runs a free scan, but the pricing lists no free plan or trial, and the page does not say whether annual billing exists.
- Tracks four engines only: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity; Google AI Overviews and Copilot are not listed.
- DualWeb, the agent diagnostic and custom MCP server builds are separate offerings scoped on a call.

Keep it
Nothing KNWN does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 2 things listed below take a company.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 129 of the 157 other AI search visibility tools grade higher. It costs $588 a year.
What you could not
- The same prompts asked of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI answers every day, and the answers kept.
- A score built from what the top results for each keyword cover.
What this rests on. KNWN’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.
