Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 29 of the 157 other AI search visibility tools we grade
LLM Pulse tracks what ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI features say about a brand, which sources they cite and how the brand compares with competitors, with more engines available as add-ons. Higher plans add sentiment, AI traffic analytics, ChatGPT Shopping and ad tracking, and reputation tools. Each plan comes with weekly or, for more money, daily tracking.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about LLM Pulse, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You set up a project, prompts and competitors, choose weekly or daily, and decide which extra models to pay for.
- 1
Best for weekly AI visibility checks on a smaller budget
LLM Pulse runs your prompts on ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Mode, AI Overviews and Gemini and shows mentions, citations and where you sit against rivals.

Visibility, share of voice, mentions and the sources cited, benchmarked against 10 to 25 competitors per project.
- 7

The report card
Best for weekly AI visibility checks on a smaller budget
LLM Pulse runs your prompts on ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Mode, AI Overviews and Gemini and shows mentions, citations and where you sit against rivals. Starter is $49 a month on yearly billing for weekly checks. But daily checks cost 50 to 60% more with no trial, Claude, Grok and Copilot are add-ons from $10 a month each, the trial needs a payment method, and prices are converted from euros.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Starter is $49 a month billed yearly, or $58 monthly, for 50 prompts checked weekly on 5 models. That's right on this category's middle of $49, but daily checks take it to $78, and Claude or Copilot are from $10 a month per model on top. |
| Free plan and trial | D | A 14-day trial on the weekly plans, but it needs a payment method. Daily plans start at once with no trial, and there's no free plan. |
| Features | C | Visibility, share of voice, citations, 10 to 25 competitors per project, recommendations, a GEO Writer and AI bot logs. The gaps: Starter checks weekly, Claude, Grok and Copilot are paid add-ons, and sentiment waits for Growth. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. You set up a project, prompts and competitors, choose weekly or daily, and decide which extra models to pay for. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web only, with no desktop or phone app. It has MCP on every plan and links to Looker Studio, Power BI, Zapier, Make and n8n, with the API and CLI on Scale. |
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 LLM Pulse is for
- Fits if weekly checks on 5 models are enough and you track around 50 prompts
- Works for online shops that want ChatGPT Shopping picks and ads tracked, on Scale at $294
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want to try before handing over payment details, as the 14-day trial needs them
- Pricey if you need daily checks, which cost 50 to 60% more than weekly and start with no trial
- Tight if Claude, Grok or Copilot matter to you, as each is an add-on from $10 a month
- Watch out: extra prompts are $2 a month each and extra projects $59, and sentiment waits for Growth
- Watch out: prices are set in euros and converted, and the API, Looker Studio and CLI start at Scale

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 LLM Pulse you could make: reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 90 of the 157 other AI search visibility tools grade higher. It costs $588 a year.
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.
- A score built from what the top results for each keyword cover.
- A tracking script and a database that counts every visit.
- It plugs into other products, MCP, Looker Studio and Power BI among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. LLM Pulse’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.
