Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 125 of the 157 other AI search visibility tools we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Spotaq, taken from its own pages and our grades.
- 1

- 3
There is a free plan
Free instant scan with no signup or email: the SpotAQ score, which engines mention you and which competitors AI recommended instead. No saved history.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | A 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. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A 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. |
| Features | C | A 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. |
| Ease of use | B | No 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. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with no desktop or phone app and no integrations or API listed. Results go out as a PDF and a weekly email. |
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 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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Founders who want a quick, free look at whether AI recommends their product
- Teams wanting a cheap one-off audit PDF to share internally or with clients
- Checking an agency's or GEO tool's results against an independent measure
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.

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 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.
