Skillaeo asks AI models 8 to 10 generated questions about your category and shows the exact answers and cited links behind its score, plus drafted llms.txt and schema files. But it counts audits a month rather than tracking prompts every day, no plan covers Perplexity or Google's AI Overviews, and Gemini waits for Pro at $83.25 a month. - **Value for money: C.** Starter is $33.25 a month billed yearly at $399, or $39.90 monthly, for 25 audits on GPT and Claude. That's just above this category's cheaper quarter, which starts at $29, and it buys audits, not daily tracking. - **Free plan and trial: C.** A free account gets 3 full audits a month of 8 questions each, on GPT only, 1 quick recheck a day and 7 days of history. Without an account, 3 short audits a day. You'll hit those caps. - **Features: C.** Audits that record mentions, recommendations, citations and claim accuracy, a site readiness score, and drafted llms.txt, schema and robots.txt files. The gaps are in the listing: monthly audit counts instead of daily tracking, and no Perplexity or AI Overviews on any plan. - **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. Audits run from a domain, but the drafted files come from facts you confirm and have to be checked and put on your site by hand. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, with no desktop or phone app and no integrations or API listed. Exports start on Starter. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Skillaeo's own pages on 23 October 2026.

What surrounds it you could not. The 2 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 $399 a year. - You could make: Schema markup: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: The same prompts asked of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI answers every day, and the answers kept. - You could not: A crawler that checks every page of a site. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it. **Tags:** AI search visibility, Site audit, Schema markup ## Alternatives - [Otterly.AI](https://toolgpa.com/tools/otterly-ai): Daily brand and citation tracking across AI search engines.
