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
Skillaeo runs audits that ask AI models a set of generated questions about a website's category and reports whether the answers mention, recommend or cite the brand, alongside a separate site readiness score. Each report shows the prompts, raw answers and cited URLs behind its numbers. A Skills Pack drafts llms.txt, schema markup and robots.txt suggestions for review before publishing.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Skillaeo, taken from its own pages and our grades.
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.
- 1
Best for AI visibility audits that show the raw answers
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.

Paid plans start at $33.25 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $33.25 per month, billed annually ($39.90 billed monthly).

There is a free plan
Free account: 3 full audits a month of 8 prompts each on GPT, 1 quick recheck a day, a Skills Pack preview and 7 days of report history.

Evidence in every report
Each report shows the exact prompts, raw answers and cited URLs, and the methodology page publishes the weights behind the score.
- 7
Site readiness checks
A separate score from public-page checks on crawlability, factual clarity, support coverage, structured data, site architecture and trust signals.

The report card
Best for AI visibility audits that show the raw answers
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
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 Skillaeo is for
- Fits if you want to read the exact AI answers and links behind a visibility score
- Works for teams that want llms.txt and schema drafts to check before publishing
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you need daily prompt tracking, as Starter gives 25 audits a month and Pro 90
- Not for you if Perplexity or Google's AI Overviews matter, since no plan lists them
- Pricey if you need Gemini, which only Pro covers, at $83.25 a month yearly or $99.90 monthly
- Tight if you stay free: 3 audits a month on GPT alone, with 7 days of history
- Watch out: models are asked through their APIs, which the methodology says can differ from the chat apps, and used billing periods aren't refunded
Good to know
Good for
- Marketers who want to see the raw AI answers behind a visibility score
- Teams preparing llms.txt and schema files for review before publishing
- Agencies auditing many client domains in a month
Worth knowing
- Audits are counted per month rather than run as daily prompt tracking: 25 on Starter and 90 on Pro.
- Free covers GPT only, Starter adds Claude and only Pro adds Gemini; no plan lists Perplexity or Google AI Overviews.
- Models are queried through their APIs via a provider called KIE, which the methodology says may differ from the consumer chat apps.
- The terms say subscription charges are generally not refunded for a billing period already used.

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 Skillaeo you could make: schema markup. 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.
What you could make
- Schema markup: 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 crawler that checks every page of a site.
What this rests on. Skillaeo’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.
