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
Mentionary monitors how AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity mention a brand when asked set prompts, and compares that with its competitors. It also tracks the outside sources those answers cite and scores the brand's own pages for content gaps. Plans are sold by the number of prompts tracked and scans run each month.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Mentionary, taken from its own pages and our grades.
It suggests prompts, but you still pick prompts and rivals, and every plan caps scans, one prompt on one platform each.

The report card
Best for finding the sources AI answers cite
Mentionary tracks your prompts on AI assistants, shows which outside sites the answers lean on, and scores your own pages for content gaps. But Starter scans 20 prompts weekly on 3 platforms the pricing page doesn't name, monthly scans are capped, and daily scans and the API wait for the $799 Agency plan.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Starter is $79 a month billed yearly, $99 monthly, for 20 prompts scanned weekly on 3 platforms. That's between this category's $49 middle and its dearer quarter at $95, for a small, weekly allowance. Daily scans start at Agency, $799. |
| Free plan and trial | C | No free plan, but a 14-day free trial of any paid plan with no card needed. |
| Features | C | Mention rate, position and sentiment, prompt suggestions, cited sources with an authority score, competitor benchmarks with a SWOT, and content gap scoring. The gaps the listing names: weekly scans below Agency, and the plans don't say which platforms they cover. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. It suggests prompts, but you still pick prompts and rivals, and every plan caps scans, one prompt on one platform each. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with no integrations listed. Lower plans get data exports only, and the API starts at Agency for $799 a month. |
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 Mentionary is for
- Fits if you want to find which outside sites AI answers rely on in your market
- Works for small marketing teams starting out, with a 14-day trial and no card
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you need daily tracking, as Starter and Professional scan weekly and daily scans come with Agency
- Watch out: the pricing page doesn't say which 3 platforms Starter covers or which 5 Professional does
- Pricey if you need the API, which starts at Agency for $799 a month billed yearly
- Tight if you watch more than two rivals, as Starter allows 2 competitors and 200 scans a month
Good to know
Good for
- Small marketing teams starting to track a brand in AI answers
- SEO teams looking for the sources AI engines cite in their market
- Agencies tracking several brands with an API on the Agency plan
Worth knowing
- There is no free plan, and each plan caps monthly scans; one scan is one prompt run on one platform.
- Starter covers 3 platforms and Professional 5, but the pricing page does not say which ones; the platform page lists six, including Copilot and You.com.
- API access starts at the Agency plan, $799 a month billed annually; lower plans get data exports only.
- Starter and Professional scan weekly; daily scans come with Agency.

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
Nothing Mentionary does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 4 things listed below take a company.
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 $948 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.
- An API that other software can build on.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on.
What this rests on. Mentionary’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.
