Siftly review (2026): is the free plan enough?
AI search visibility tracking with content, outreach and an agent
Siftly report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 23, 2026
Best for a free start, then content and outreach on top
Siftly has a free plan of 10 prompts on two engines, checked weekly, and paid plans add daily checks, articles published to your CMS, outreach from your own Gmail and Reddit posting. Starter is $79 a month for 50 prompts on 3 engines in one country. GA4, Search Console and crawler tracking wait on Growth at $249, and engines are capped at 2, 3, 5 or 8 by plan, so wide coverage costs a lot more.
Who Siftly is for
- Fits if you want to see weekly AI answers about your brand before paying anything
- Works for content teams that want articles published and outreach sent from their own Gmail
Who Siftly is not for
- Tight if you stay free, with 10 prompts on 2 engines checked once a week and 30 days of history
- Pricey if you need GA4, Search Console and crawler tracking, which start at Growth for $249 a month
- Skip it if you need more than 3 engines or more than one country on Starter, as both are capped by plan
- Watch out: every AI answer counts against a monthly allowance, so one prompt on 4 engines daily uses 4 a day
- Skip it if you need SSO, as it's Enterprise only
Why Siftly gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyStarter is $79 a month for 50 prompts on 3 engines, billed monthly, with 20% off yearly. That's this category's usual range. GA4, Search Console and crawler tracking need Growth at $249.
- CFree plan and trialA free plan of 10 prompts and 100 answers a month on 2 engines, refreshed weekly, with 30 days of history. You'll outgrow it fast. Paid plans also have a 7-day trial with no card.
- CFeaturesDaily rank and share of voice with sentiment, citation tracking, articles with FAQ schema, outreach campaigns, and an agent with MCP and an API. The gap the listing names: engines are capped by plan, 3 on Starter, and Starter tracks one country.
- CEase of useNo rating on record. Engines, countries and a monthly answer allowance to juggle, where one prompt on 4 engines checked daily uses 4 answers a day.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with no desktop or phone app. It publishes to Webflow, Wix, Ghost, Framer and other CMSs, sends from Gmail, and has GA4, Search Console, Slack, MCP and a REST API.

Keep Siftly, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Siftly 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 $948 a year.
What you could make
- Link outreach: an app builder makes this well.
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 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, Webflow, Wix and Ghost among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Siftly’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.
What is Siftly?
Siftly tracks whether AI assistants and Google's AI features mention and cite a brand, how it ranks against competitors and which pages the engines quote. It also writes and publishes articles, runs outreach to cited sites and posts to Reddit and social channels. Plans are priced by the number of AI answers tracked each month.
Worth knowing

- Starter tracks one country; GA4, Search Console and AI crawler tracking start at Growth for $249 a month.
- Each AI answer counts against the monthly allowance: one prompt on 4 engines refreshed daily uses 4 answers a day.
