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
Waikay, a spin-out of the SEO tool InLinks, reports what AI models know about a brand as well as whether they mention it. Alongside prompt tracking it scores the brand's standing on chosen topics against two competitors, flags wrong statements and missing facts, lists the sources the models rely on and builds action plans. It works in over 40 languages and 100 countries.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Waikay, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Prompt checks and action plans share one allowance, so you'll be juggling the two, and fewer models means more prompts.
- 1
Best for AI visibility tracking with fact checks
The free credits don't renew, the entry plan has one seat, and action plans eat into your prompt allowance.

Paid plans start at $24.95 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $24.95 per month for 40 prompts a week on 4 AI models.

The report card
Best for AI visibility tracking with fact checks
Waikay, from the people behind InLinks, tracks how AI models talk about your brand and checks whether what they say is true, from $24.95 a month for one person. But it asks models through their APIs, so for ChatGPT and Claude you see answers from training data, not what someone searching the live web would see. The free credits don't renew, the entry plan has one seat, and action plans eat into your prompt allowance.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | The entry plan is $24.95 a month for 40 prompts a week on 4 models, with fact checks, action plans, the API and MCP included. That's inside the cheaper quarter of this category, which starts at $29. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A free account gets 3 credits: 1 brand report, 1 topic report and plan, and 20 prompt checks. They don't renew, so it's really a one-time trial. |
| Features | C | Brand tracking, topic scores against two rivals, a fact and hallucination tracker, source analysis and action plans. The gap is a big one, though: ChatGPT and Claude answers come from training data, not live web search. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. Prompt checks and action plans share one allowance, so you'll be juggling the two, and fewer models means more prompts. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web only, with no desktop or phone app. Every paid plan includes the API and an MCP server, though no other integrations are listed. |
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 Waikay is for
- Fits if you're a freelancer who wants AI tracking for about $25 a month
- Works for brands that want to know when AI models state wrong facts about them
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you need to see what ChatGPT or Claude say with live web search on
- Tight if you need more than one login, as the entry plan has a single seat
- Not for you if you want a free plan, as the 3 free credits never renew
- Watch out: prompt checks and action plans share one allowance, so more plans means fewer prompts
- Too light for setups needing integrations beyond the API and MCP, as none are listed
Good to know
Good for
- Freelancers and site owners who want AI visibility tracking for about $25 a month
- Brands worried about AI models stating wrong facts about them
- Agencies working in many languages and countries
Worth knowing
- The free account's credits do not renew, so it works as a one-time trial.
- Prompt checks and action plans share the same allowance, so running more plans leaves fewer prompts.
- Waikay queries models through their APIs, and for ChatGPT and Claude it reports answers from training data, not live web search.
- The entry plan has a single seat.

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
Nothing Waikay does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 3 things listed below take a company.
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 $299.40 a year.
What you could not
- 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.
- It plugs into other products, MCP among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Waikay’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.
