Checked Oct 23, 2026 · graded Oct 23, 2026 by ToolGPA.

ZipTie (styled ziptie.ai) tracks what seven AI search engines say about a brand, measuring citations, mentions and sentiment and rolling them into one score per prompt. An Action Center ranks the gaps to close, and fixes can be marked on the trend line. There are no fixed tiers: the price is built from the number of prompts, how often they run and how many engines check them.

## Ways to pay less

- **Save 20% with annual billing** (Annual discount): ZipTie's calculator takes 20% off the prompt cost for annual billing, 10% for semi-annual and 5% for quarterly. Flat add-ons stay at full price. Source: https://ziptie.ai/pricing/

## Key features

- **Seven AI engines:** Checks ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, Microsoft Copilot, Bing AI Overview and Gemini, at the same price per engine.
- **AI Success Score:** Combines citation rate, mention rate and sentiment into a 0 to 100 score for each prompt and a trend line for the project.
- **Daily, weekly or monthly checks:** Cadence is set per project, so key prompts can run daily and long-tail prompts monthly from one shared pool.
- **Action Center:** A ranked queue of gaps per project, such as prompts where no engine names or cites the brand across several checks.
- **Competitors and organic results:** Ranks the brands and domains AI answers name and cite, with Google and Bing organic results captured alongside at no extra cost.
- **Client reports:** White-label PDF reports with an agency's logo, Excel exports and share links that need no account, on every plan.

## Good for

- Agencies with many clients: seats, projects and competitors are never charged
- Teams that want to pay only for the prompts and engines they choose
- Tracking a long tail of prompts cheaply on a monthly check

## Worth knowing

- Add-ons cost extra: API and MCP access $10 a month, content generation $20 a month per brand context, and UGC Impact Analysis adds 80% to the prompt cost.
- The trial covers only ChatGPT, AI Overviews and Copilot; other engines need a paid plan.
- Cancelling takes effect at the end of the paid period, and unused time is not refunded.
- Which engines can run depends on the country chosen for each project.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.6 out of 4**, graded Oct 23, 2026. ZipTie has no fixed plans: you build your own from prompts, engines and how often they run, at about a cent a check, and the smallest preset is $25.65 a month for 30 daily prompts on three engines. But the API, MCP and content writing are paid add-ons, UGC analysis adds 80% to the cost, and the trial skips most engines. Unused time isn't refunded if you cancel mid-period.

- **Value for money: B.** The Starter preset is $25.65 a month for 30 daily prompts on 3 engines, inside this category's cheapest quarter, which starts at $29. Yearly billing takes 20% off the prompt cost. The API and MCP are $10 a month extra.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** No free plan, but a 7-day trial with 25 daily prompts and no card. It only covers ChatGPT, AI Overviews and Copilot, though.
- **Features: B.** Seven engines, AI Mode, Gemini and Bing's AI Overview among them, at the same price each, a 0 to 100 score per prompt, daily to monthly checks, an Action Center, competitor ranking and organic results alongside. Nothing in the listing shows a gap in the core job.
- **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. You choose prompts, cadences and engines per project in a calculator, and which engines run depends on the country.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, with no desktop or phone app. Search Console connects, Excel exports and share links need no account, and the API and MCP are a $10 add-on.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** The plain part of ZipTie you could make: reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 146 of the 157 other AI search visibility tools we grade. It costs $307.80 a year.

- You could make: Reports: 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 score built from what the top results for each keyword cover.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Google Search Console among them, and has an API.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
