Spotaq review (2026): is the free plan enough?
AI visibility checker with a free scan, PDF audits and weekly tracking
Spotaq report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 24, 2026
Best for a quick check of whether AI recommends you
Spotaq checks whether ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google-grounded AI recommend you for buyer questions in your category, scores it 0 to 100 and lists the prompts where a rival got named instead. The free scan needs no signup, and a full audit PDF is $19 once. But the prompts are a set it picks, not ones you write, it's unclear which plans check Claude and Gemini, and weekly tracking covers one domain for $49 a month.
Who Spotaq is for
- Fits if you want a free look at whether AI recommends your product, with no signup
- Works for teams that want a one-off audit PDF to pass around, for $19
Who Spotaq is not for
- Skip it if you want to track your own prompts, as it uses a curated set built around buyer intents
- Watch out: the pricing page names ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google-grounded AI, while the homepage also shows Claude and Gemini without saying which plans check them
- Tight if you track more than one brand: Monitor covers one domain, and Pro caps runs at 30 a month across 5
- Watch out: the free scan keeps no history, so tracking over time means Monitor at $49 a month
- Not for you if you need an API or integrations, as none are listed, or yearly billing, which is arranged by email
Why Spotaq gets a 2.4
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- BValue for moneyA full audit PDF is $19 once, so even one a month stays inside this category's cheaper quarter, which starts at $29. Weekly monitoring of one domain is $49 a month, the category's middle, and Pro is $149 for 5.
- CFree plan and trialA free scan from the home page with no signup or email, on the same engines and scoring as the paid plans. It's a snapshot, though: no saved history, and the full answers and fix pack are paid.
- CFeaturesA 0 to 100 score, a Missed Prompts report, the sites each answer drew on and a fix pack of copy and schema. The gaps are in the listing: you can't write your own prompts, and which plans check Claude and Gemini isn't stated.
- BEase of useNo rating on record, but there's nothing to set up: the prompts are a curated set, and the free scan runs from the home page with no account.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with no desktop or phone app and no integrations or API listed. Results go out as a PDF and a weekly email.

Keep Spotaq, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Spotaq you could make: schema markup and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 1 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.4 is higher than 125 of the 157 other AI search visibility tools we grade. It costs $19, paid once.
What you could make
- Schema markup and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- The same prompts asked of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI answers every day, and the answers kept.
What this rests on. Spotaq’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 Spotaq?
Spotaq checks whether ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google-grounded AI recommend a brand for buyer questions in its category, or name competitors instead, and turns the result into a 0 to 100 score. Each run lists the missed prompts, the pages the answers cite and a fix pack of copy and schema suggestions. A free scan needs no signup; paid options add a one-time PDF audit or weekly monitoring.
Worth knowing
- Prompts are a curated set built around buyer intents, not a list you write yourself; Pro adds pricing and category-leader questions.
- The pricing page names ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google-grounded AI; the homepage also shows Claude and Gemini without saying which plans check them.
- Monitor covers one domain; tracking more brands means Pro, which caps runs at 30 a month across 5 domains.
- There is no yearly discount yet; plans are month to month, and paying for a year is arranged by email.
