Ordered by the requirements met, strengths preserved, explicit trade-offs and research coverage. Sponsorship does not enter the order.
- 01
SEOmatic
Autonomous SEO agents that diagnose, write, publish to your CMS and track visibility in AI answers.
From FreeWhy it's on this listPublishes to your site · YesApproved pages and in-place edits are pushed live to a connected CMS; the vendor names eighteen platforms and flags fields a CMS cannot accept.Evidence ↗
Where it improves on AEOlens
- +Done-for-you service · YesA separate done-for-you line has the vendor's own team configure and run the agents, quoted at fixed prices from $1,500 and a $2,500 monthly managed option.Evidence ↗
- +Microsoft Copilot · YesMicrosoft Copilot is one of the five opt-in engines in the monitor's options list, so coverage exists but is off until enabled.Evidence ↗
Trade-offs against AEOlens
- −Prompt or credit allowance · PartialPlans are metered in AI credits rather than a published prompt count; the free plan states one visibility scan and the API documents a plan prompt allowance it does not quantify publicly.Evidence ↗
32/32 researched criteria - 02
Trakkr
AI visibility tracking with citation, perception and crawler data, plus article generation and site fixes.
From $100/monthWhy it's on this listPublishes to your site · YesDrafts push into a connected WordPress, Webflow, Shopify or GitHub site as a draft post that you still publish there; the vendor says outright that Trakkr is not a CMS.Evidence ↗
Where it improves on AEOlens
- +DeepSeek · YesDeepSeek is included in the standard eight-model run rather than gated behind a higher tier or a per-model fee.Evidence ↗
- +Meta AI · YesMeta AI is the eighth tracked answer surface for prompt runs, though Meta AI crawler requests are detected and then hidden from the crawler dashboards.Evidence ↗
Trade-offs against AEOlens
- −Google AI Mode · NoGoogle AI Mode is missing from the vendor's complete list of eight tracked surfaces; the only route offered is a workflow guide that reads Google Search Console's own generative reports.Evidence ↗
32/32 researched criteria - 03
Promptwatch
AI search visibility tracking with crawler logs and content agents that publish to your CMS.
From $95/monthWhy it's on this listPublishes to your site · YesDrafts can be pushed into a connected CMS as an unpublished item and then published live from inside Promptwatch, with three named CMS providers supported per project.Evidence ↗
Where it improves on AEOlens
- +Done-for-you service · PartialSelf-serve tiers are software only; the quote-only Custom tier adds managed content workflows plus a dedicated success manager, which is the closest the vendor comes to doing the work for you.Evidence ↗
- +Microsoft Copilot · YesCopilot is named in the documented registry of live-search platforms, although it is not one of the model rows printed on the public plan comparison table.Evidence ↗
Trade-offs against AEOlens
- −Generates content · PartialContent Agents write new articles from citation data, but the entry Essential plan is sold with no article allowance at all; monthly AEO Articles start at five on Professional and ten on Business.Evidence ↗
- −AI crawler analytics · PartialCrawler log ingestion and Agent Analytics are real but gated: the Crawler Logs row is crossed out on the entry Essential plan and starts at 25M log lines on Professional.Evidence ↗

Rank Prompt
AI visibility platform: prompt monitoring across six answer engines, plus content, citation outreach and site audits.
From FreeWhy it's on this listPublishes to your site · YesDirect one-click publish, but only to WordPress or Rank Prompt's own hosted blog; Webflow is listed as coming soon.Evidence ↗
Where it improves on AEOlens
- +Done-for-you service · YesRank Prompt's own in-house team sells a done-for-you retainer at $1,500/mo advisory and from $2,500/mo full execution, sold through a strategy call.Evidence ↗
- +Projects or brands · YesSeveral: the Brands row runs 10 on Starter, 100 on Pro, 500 on Agency and 1,000 on Agency Plus.Evidence ↗
Trade-offs against AEOlens
- −Gemini · PartialReal but metered as an add-on engine: available on any plan, at one extra credit per prompt rather than inside the bundle.Evidence ↗
- −Grok · PartialSame add-on metering as Gemini: labelled "Add-on engine" and charged one extra credit per prompt.Evidence ↗
- −AI crawler analytics · NoWhat it measures is inbound human sessions referred from AI surfaces via GA4, not AI bots crawling your site.Evidence ↗
32/32 researched criteria - 05
Qwairy
GEO platform that monitors brand mentions across 10 AI engines and feeds content, technical and traffic work.
From FreeWhy it's on this listMicrosoft Copilot · YesCore model at 1 credit per answer from the public Copilot experience; Microsoft has no premium API row, so Copilot is UI-collected only.Evidence ↗
Where it improves on AEOlens
- +DeepSeek · PartialPremium API models DeepSeek V4 Flash and V4 Pro at 2 credits, but they run without web search, so answers carry no live citations; there is no DeepSeek Core row.Evidence ↗
- +Projects or brands · YesSeveral brands per account: 1 workspace on Starter, 5 on Growth, 20 on Business, unlimited on Enterprise, each with its own brands, competitors and prompts.Evidence ↗
Trade-offs against AEOlens
- −Publishes to your site · NoNo CMS connector exists; API v1 exposes Content Studio articles read-only for you to syndicate, and the article's finalUrl field is the published URL you set yourself.Evidence ↗
- −AI crawler analytics · PartialBusiness and Enterprise only. Classifies 13 published AI user agents from server or CDN logs via nine collectors, keeping bounded daily aggregates for 30 analytic days.Evidence ↗
- −Card required to start · NoThe free plan grants 120 credits with no card; billing only starts when you pick a subscription.Evidence ↗
32/32 researched criteria - 06
EdenRank
AI citation monitoring with an approval-first execution and verification loop across eight answer engines.
From FreeWhy it's on this listMicrosoft Copilot · YesMicrosoft Copilot is in the core set and is one of the three engines the free workspace monitors without any payment.Evidence ↗
Where it improves on AEOlens
- +DeepSeek · YesDeepSeek is listed in the core eight-engine measurement set and in the free checker's multi-engine scan of the same surfaces.Evidence ↗
- +Projects or brands · YesSeveral brands are supported through workspaces - one on Free and Starter, three on Growth, eight on Pro and Concierge, twenty on Agency.Evidence ↗
Trade-offs against AEOlens
- −Grok · PartialGrok is not in the core eight; it is one of two extra engines the vendor says paid plans add from Growth upward, so Free and Starter miss it.Evidence ↗
- −AI crawler analytics · PartialA free tool reads robots.txt and reports which AI crawlers you allow or block, but no log-based analysis of actual bot hits on a customer site is documented.Evidence ↗
- −Card required to start · NoThe standing free workspace needs an account only; a card is requested later in billing when a team upgrades to a paid tier.Evidence ↗

Independent order. Payment does not affect selection or ranking. Paid placements are labelled Advertisement.
