What it reports

Names the cited sources
YesCited sources are broken out by domain on both paid tiers, and the product names the competing domains a model cited instead of you.Cited sources by domainaeolens.ai/pricing
Competitor tracking
YesShare of voice against competitors is on both tiers, but Solo caps you at three rivals and withholds the brand-by-platform heatmap and citation gap view.Competitors tracked | Up to 3 | Up to 10aeolens.ai/pricing
Brand sentiment
PartlySentiment is reported per engine as positive, neutral or negative plus community sentiment signals, but no attribute or association breakdown is described.Whether AI citations describe your brand positively, neutrally, or negatively. Negative sentiment can be more damaging than no citation at all.aeolens.ai/ai-citation-tracking
Recommendations
YesEvery failing check ships with concrete code or copy to apply, and fixes are linked to the buyer questions they affect on both tiers.Every failing check ships with copy-paste code (schema JSON-LD, robots directives, meta tags, content rewrites). AI-generated fixes for prose and…aeolens.ai/for-agencies
AI crawler analytics
YesServer-side capture of eight AI bot families with ASN and reverse-DNS verification, available free and on all paid plans.AEOLens captures them server-side, verifies each one by ASN and reverse-DNS, and shows you what they read and when.aeolens.ai

Plans and signing up

Prompt or credit allowance
YesMetered in tracked questions: 25 on Solo and 100 on Growth, each re-asked on a weekly rotation across the five platforms.Tracked questions | 25 | 100aeolens.ai/pricing
Projects or brands
PartlyBoth paid tiers include a single project; tracking a second brand or client domain is a paid extra rather than part of either plan.Extra projects | $49/mo each | $49/mo eachaeolens.ai/pricing
Countries
PartlyNon-English answer tracking is a Growth-only line and Solo shows a dash; no per-country or market targeting is described anywhere on the plan pages.aeolens.ai/pricing
How often it checks
YesQuestions are re-asked on a weekly rotation with daily dashboard updates on both tiers, and audits can also be run on demand.Refresh cadence | Weekly rotation | Weekly rotationaeolens.ai/pricing
Card required to start
PartlyThe free audit and free crawler analytics take no card, but the three-day trial on each paid plan demands one up front.Billed monthly · 3-day trial, card requiredaeolens.ai/pricing
Self-serve signup
YesBoth published tiers and the Agency plan start from a sign-up link with public pricing; only the custom Enterprise plan routes through sales.AEOlens fits the gap: self-serve, multi-client, $149/mo public pricing, with additional client domains at $49/mo each.aeolens.ai/for-agencies

Access and integrations

API
PartlyA documented REST API with long-lived keys exists, but the comparison table shows a dash for Solo and the CI endpoint refuses anything below Growth.aeolens.ai/pricing
MCP server
PartlyAn MCP connection for AI assistants is advertised, but only from the Growth tier upward; Solo shows a dash on that row.REST API + MCP — connect your AI assistantaeolens.ai/pricing
BI export
PartlyData leaves via a JSON API and PDF/Markdown exports from Growth up, but the named BI destinations are not shipped: Looker Studio and Power BI are both labelled Planned.Looker StudioPlanned Native connector so AEOlens KPIs live alongside GA4 and GSC in your Looker dashboards.aeolens.ai/integrations
