- +AI crawler analytics · YesLogs indexing, retrieval and training visits from AI bots and attributes GA4 sessionsEvidence ↗

30/32 researched criteria · 2 not established - 02
Qwairy
GEO platform that monitors brand mentions across 10 AI engines and feeds content, technical and traffic work.
From FreeWhy it's on this listThe answer to AIclicks' MCP-tier gap: Qwairy bundles MCP server access into its cheapest paid plan (€65/month Starter), where AIclicks requires the $189/month Pro tier for the same access — Qwairy also tracks 10 AI providers on every tier and is EU-hosted, though its REST API (not just MCP) still needs its own Growth tier (€165/month) up.
Where it improves on AIclicks
- +Technical AEO · YesSite Readiness analyses robots.txt, llms.txt and sitemap.xml for named crawler identities and generates llms.txt; no schema.org markup generation is claimed.Evidence ↗
- +Brand sentiment · YesPerception snapshots compare configured brand attributes against how each provider describes you, alongside a 0-100 sentiment score broken down by provider; a snapshot costs 10 credits per provider.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 ↗
Trade-offs against AIclicks
- −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 ↗
- −Done-for-you service · NoQwairy sells the tooling, not the delivery: agencies run their own GEO retainers on it, and the agency plans are white-label platform seats rather than a managed service.Evidence ↗
- −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 ↗
32/32 researched criteria - 03
Rankscale
Credit-based AI visibility tracker for brand mentions, citations and sentiment across 17+ AI engines.
From $20/monthWhy it's on this listTechnical AEO · YesAudit runs a schema engine and penalises blocked AI crawlers, with markup/content alignment checks.Evidence ↗
Where it improves on AIclicks
- +Brand sentiment · YesSentiment tracked by brand, topic and model with positive/negative keyword themes.Evidence ↗
- +AI crawler analytics · PartialThe audit detects and penalises AI bots blocked from a URL; it does not report crawler hits from your logs.Evidence ↗
Trade-offs against AIclicks
- −Generates content · NoThe vendor's enumerated product stack is monitoring, analysis and auditing; no content writing module.Evidence ↗
- −Publishes to your site · NoNo CMS publishing anywhere in the enumerated stack or the plan comparison table.Evidence ↗
- −Done-for-you service · NoSelf-serve software with an agency program and partner directory; Rankscale's own people do not run the work.Evidence ↗
31/32 researched criteria · 1 not established - 04
Finseo
AI visibility platform tracking brand mentions and citations across AI answer engines, with GEO content and attribution.
From €84/monthWhy it's on this listBrand sentiment · YesSentiment is scored 0-100 across eleven attributes per engine, with a criticism feed that quotes the phrase and names the source.Evidence ↗
Where it improves on AIclicks
- +AI crawler analytics · PartialServer logs or a Cloudflare feed identify each AI crawler with status codes and top URLs, but Bot Analytics is not included on Starter.Evidence ↗
- +Wrong answers about you · PartialCatching misinformation is named as a use case of sentiment monitoring, and a Fact Check row is sold as an add-on on every tier with no published description or price.Evidence ↗
Trade-offs against AIclicks
- −Optimises your content · PartialExisting pages are scored and given prioritised citability fixes, but the Content & Crawlability module is struck through on Starter and only ticked from Business upward.Evidence ↗
- −Generates content · PartialIt writes sourced articles from a credit pool, but the Starter plan gets no article allowance at all — 15 on Business, 50 on Growth, each costing 500 credits.Evidence ↗
- −Publishes to your site · PartialFinished drafts push straight into four CMS platforms, but CMS & Shops integrations are struck through for Starter and start at the Business tier.Evidence ↗
31/32 researched criteria · 1 not established - 05

- +Brand sentiment · YesCaptures the wording AI uses and scores it across twenty perception dimensionsEvidence ↗
- +AI crawler analytics · YesAI bot requests tracked per bot and per page, with nine MCP tools and a Looker dataset for itEvidence ↗
Trade-offs against AIclicks
- −Done-for-you service · NoAgency offering is white-label software the agency runs itself, not work done by Trakkr staffEvidence ↗
- −Google AI Mode · NoAbsent from the enumerated eight surfaces; AI Mode appears only in a Google Search Console reporting workflow, not as a Trakkr-tracked engineEvidence ↗
- −Microsoft Copilot · NoAbsent from the vendor's closed list of eight tracked modelsEvidence ↗
31/32 researched criteria · 1 not established - 06
Rank Prompt

Trade-offs against AIclicks
- −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 ↗
- −Microsoft Copilot · NoAbsent from the closed six-platform monitoring list; Copilot appears only in GA4 referral-traffic detection, which measures human visits rather than answers.Evidence ↗
- −Grok · PartialSame add-on metering as Gemini: labelled "Add-on engine" and charged one extra credit per prompt.Evidence ↗
