## What to watch for

- **Conductor**: Conductor does not publish a rate card for Essentials, Growth, or Enterprise. The $26,800 to $500,000+ per year range and $48,950 median cited here come from Vendr's aggregated real-world contract data as reported by an independent reviewer (tryanalyze.ai), not from Conductor's own site. Treat it as a reported range rather than an official price.
- **Promptwatch**: Essential plan is capped at 50 tracked prompts and 1 website, which is thin for brands with multiple product lines.
- **Rank Prompt**: Reviewers describe a steep initial learning curve, with the dashboard and prompt-level mapping described as overwhelming at first.

Best match first.

## Shortlist

### 1. Rankshift

Credit-metered AI visibility, citation and crawler tracking with unlimited projects and seats.

**Where it improves on AirOps:**
- [Claude: yes — Claude is tracked on every plan, but the published calculator charges five credits per run against two for most engines, so it drains a credit pool faster.](https://www.rankshift.ai/ai-visibility-tracking/)
- [Coverage in the vendor’s words: yes — Nine engines are published, with no per-tier engine restriction: every plan says 'Track all LLMs', and the limit is credits rather than coverage, with Claude and Copilot costing five credits a run instead of two.](https://www.rankshift.ai/prompt-tracking/)
- [AI crawler analytics: yes — Crawler analytics is listed on all three self-serve plans and reports which AI bots hit which pages, how often, and with what errors, in real time.](https://www.rankshift.ai/prompt-tracking/)

**Trade-offs against AirOps:**
- [Publishes to your site: no — The enumerated integrations are reporting destinations only, and the content flow ends with the user publishing.](https://www.rankshift.ai/prompt-tracking/)
- [Done-for-you service: no — The agency offering is a partner programme for agencies that run the tool themselves on client workspaces, with pitch projects and training, not a done-for-you service delivered by Rankshift staff.](https://www.rankshift.ai/agency/)

### 2. Citeme

GEO/SEO agency and self-serve platform that tracks brand citations across ten AI engines.

**Where it improves on AirOps:**
- [Technical AEO: yes — Every audit grades robots.txt crawler access, JSON-LD, metadata and heading structure, and a technician agent patches schema, titles and alt text.](https://www.citeme.io/features/geo-audit)
- [Claude: yes — Claude is in the ten-engine inventory, queried through Anthropic's official API, and the vendor publishes its own citation rate on it.](https://www.citeme.io/pricing)
- [Coverage in the vendor’s words: yes — Ten engines are stated as the full coverage, and the self-serve plan row confirms all ten AI models are included rather than tiered.](https://www.citeme.io/pricing)

**Trade-offs against AirOps:**
- [Google AI Mode: no — The vendor's complete inventory of the ten surfaces it audits names Google AI Overviews but not Google AI Mode, which is therefore absent on every tier.](https://www.citeme.io/pricing)
- [Card required to start: yes — The only way in is a seven-day trial charged at one euro, and the vendor states plainly that it requires a payment method up front.](https://www.citeme.io/pricing)
- [BI export: partial — Reports are exportable and the REST API can feed your own reporting, but no Looker, Power BI or warehouse destination is documented anywhere on the site.](https://www.citeme.io/pricing)

### 3. Conductor

Enterprise AEO platform: AI visibility tracking, content generation, 24/7 site monitoring and API/MCP access.

**Where it improves on AirOps:**
- [Technical AEO: yes — The crawler evaluates AEO-specific page signals including schema coverage and AI robot directives, shown beside traditional SEO health on the Pages and Issues dashboards.](https://www.conductor.com/platform/features/technical-aeo-seo/)
- [Claude: yes — Claude is tracked on its default Sonnet model, but the vendor's location tables exclude it from both granular and many country level locations.](https://www.conductor.com/docs/intelligence/ai-search-faqs)
- [Coverage in the vendor’s words: yes — Nine engine surfaces are supported and chosen per topic, each consuming a different credit rate per response, so engine breadth is a budget decision rather than a plan limit.](https://www.conductor.com/platform/features/ai-search-performance/ai-tracking-customization/)

**Trade-offs against AirOps:**
- [Publishes to your site: no — Drafts leave Conductor as a downloaded .docx brief; the CMS integrations surface recommendations inside Drupal and trigger audits in WordPress rather than pushing content live.](https://www.conductor.com/docs/creator/writing-assistant)
- [API: partial — A documented Data API exists with a public playground, but the plan table marks it only Available on Essentials and Growth and Included on Enterprise alone.](https://www.conductor.com/platform/features/data-api/)
- [BI export: partial — Named BI destinations are supported through the Data API, which is only Included on Enterprise; Monitoring separately offers CSV and Excel exports and a Looker Studio connector on any plan.](https://www.conductor.com/platform/features/data-api/)

### 4. Promptwatch

AI search visibility tracking with crawler logs and content agents that publish to your CMS.

**Where it improves on AirOps:**
- [Technical AEO: yes — A Technical Optimization row is ticked from the entry plan, and the Sitemap Health tab reports HTTP status, speed and missing SEO elements from Promptwatch's own crawl of sitemap pages.](https://promptwatch.com/docs/academy/site-health)
- [Claude: yes — Anthropic (Claude) is ticked on every published brand plan, but the docs class it as an API model that answers from training knowledge, so citations appear only when the provider returns sources.](https://promptwatch.com/docs/academy/choosing-your-models)
- [Coverage in the vendor’s words: yes — Plan cards promise four simultaneously tracked models while the model registry is larger, and the documented gate is that only the non-paid Explore entry tier is restricted to ChatGPT.](https://promptwatch.com/docs/academy/choosing-your-models)

**Trade-offs against AirOps:**
- [Generates content: partial — Content 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.](https://promptwatch.com/pricing)
- [Done-for-you service: partial — Self-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.](https://promptwatch.com/pricing)
- [BI export: partial — A Looker Studio connector reads through the API with a read-only project key, one data source per project, but the Data Studio Integration row is crossed out on the entry Essential plan.](https://promptwatch.com/docs/academy/data-studio-connector)

### 5. Omnia

AI visibility tracking with an agent that drafts, publishes and pitches the fixes.

**Where it improves on AirOps:**
- [Technical AEO: yes — Through its GitHub connector the agent opens pull requests carrying llms.txt, robots.txt and schema changes, so technical AEO fixes are shipped rather than only advised.](https://www.useomnia.com/omnio-geo-agent)
- [Projects or brands: yes — Brands to Manage reads Unlimited in all three columns of the comparison table, and the tracking page markets one account for multiple brands and clients.](https://www.useomnia.com/ai-visibility-tracking)

**Trade-offs against AirOps:**
- [Done-for-you service: no — Omnia sells software and an in-product agent instead of staffed delivery; its agency page lists independent partner firms rather than an Omnia service team.](https://www.useomnia.com/pricing)
- [Gemini: partial — Gemini is not in the default four engines; the plan cards mark it "available on request" within the ceiling of seven unlockable engines, on every tier.](https://www.useomnia.com/pricing)
- [BI export: partial — Data Exports is blank in the Growth column and ticked only from Pro upward, though the API docs advertise exporting into BI pipelines programmatically.](https://www.useomnia.com/pricing)

### 6. Rank Prompt

AI visibility platform that tracks brand mentions and citations across six answer engines, with content and audits.

**Where it improves on AirOps:**
- [Technical AEO: yes — The audit validates schema, checks robots.txt against named AI crawler agents, and a free generator builds the llms.txt file it looks for.](https://rankprompt.com/seo-audit/)
- [Claude: yes — Rank Prompt names Claude in its own list of the six answer engines every plan queries, with no tier gating.](https://rankprompt.com/pricing/)
- [Coverage in the vendor’s words: yes — Six engines, all on every tier including free; a prompt across up to three engines costs one credit and four to six costs two.](https://rankprompt.com/pricing/)

**Trade-offs against AirOps:**
- [Done-for-you service: partial — Beyond the software the vendor sells a separate done-for-you GEO engagement, quoted from $2,500 a month, where its people write and place the content.](https://rankprompt.com/geo-agency/)
- [AI crawler analytics: no — Traffic analytics classify AI referral sessions, not bot visits; the vendor states it does not read user agents, and the crawler work is a robots.txt directive check.](https://rankprompt.com/analytics/)
- [Card required to start: partial — No card for the standing free plan and its first report, but starting the seven-day trial of a paid plan does require one.](https://rankprompt.com/pricing/)
