Leading AI Visibility and GEO Software: Which Do Both

Fifteen of the 76 AI-visibility software products in the CitedIndex index both measure a brand’s presence in AI answers and are categorised for changing it, while tracking all six major answer engines. Seven of those fifteen publish a free trial you can start today without booking a demo: Rankshift, Qwairy, Omnia, Writesonic, Goodie AI, Mentionable and AIclicks. The rest of this page is how the filter gets to fifteen, and what it throws away.

These figures were re-derived against the live index on 18 August 2026. They replace the counts this page carried when it first published on 16 August, when the index held 89 entries rather than 92.

What “does both” actually narrows down

Most of this category claims both jobs on its own homepage, so the phrase is close to useless as a filter. Our index holds 92 published entries, of which 16 are agencies that run the programme for you. That leaves 76 software tools you can buy and operate yourself, and those 76 are the denominator for every number below.

Of those 76 tools, 74 are categorised for AI visibility monitoring, 46 are categorised for GEO and content optimization, and 44 sit in both categories at once. The three figures reconcile exactly: 74 plus 46 minus 44 is 76, and no tool in the index sits outside both categories.

So 44 of 76, well over half, already do both by our own taxonomy. Asking a vendor whether it measures and optimises is not a shortlist question, because almost everyone answers yes. The filter that actually bites is engine coverage.

The filter that bites: all six engines

We tag six named answer engines: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Claude and Microsoft Copilot. Only 19 of the 76 tools carry all six, which matches the pattern in our engine-coverage census: ChatGPT is near-universal at 74 of the 75 tools whose coverage we can determine, while Copilot is claimed by fewer than half.

Intersect the two filters and you get the number worth having. Fifteen tools track all six engines and are categorised for both monitoring and optimization.

Four six-engine tools drop out at this step, and they are worth naming because they drop out on scope rather than on quality. Profound, AI Sightline, LLM Pulse and LLMrefs all carry the full six-engine set, but we file them under monitoring and rank tracking rather than optimization. If measurement is all you need, they belong on your list and this page’s filter is the wrong one for you.

The seven you can start this week

Of the fifteen, seven publish a free trial with a stated length. Prices and trial lengths come from each vendor’s own pricing page, as recorded in our listings and re-read against the index on 18 August 2026.

Tool	Entry price	Trial	Notable
Rankshift	$82/mo Starter	30 days	9-engine tracking paired with AI-crawler log evidence (rankshift.ai)
Qwairy	€65/mo Starter, billed annually	14 days	EU-hosted, ships an MCP server on the entry tier (qwairy.co)
Omnia	€79/mo Growth	14 days	Geo-located browser checks, agent drafts content to close gaps (useomnia.com)
Writesonic	$79/mo Starter, billed annually	7 days	Content generation with a visibility suite alongside it (writesonic.com)
Goodie AI	$399/mo Explorer	7 days	Tracks AI shopping assistants such as Amazon Rufus (higoodie.com)
Mentionable	€79/mo Growth	4 days	All engines on the entry tier, native GA4 integration (mentionable.ai)
AIclicks	$59/mo Starter	3 days	Cheapest entry point of the seven (aiclicks.io)

Two things read off that table. The cheapest entry point and the longest trial are different products, so if you want the most evaluation time for the least commitment, Rankshift’s 30 days is roughly ten times AIclicks’ three. And a 3-day or 4-day trial is not really an evaluation window for this category, because most of these tools need a full scan cycle before they return anything meaningful.

The seven also split by currency in a way a buyer notices at renewal. Four price in dollars, spanning $59 to $399 a month at the entry tier, and three price in euros in a much tighter band of €65 to €79. That is seven data points, which is too few to say anything about the market, but it is enough to say you should check which currency you are being quoted in.

The eight that do not offer a trial

The other eight of the fifteen clear the same engine and scope bars but publish no free trial: Brandlight, Cognizo, Conductor, EdenRank, Evertune, Promptwatch, Rankability and RankScale.

No trial does not always mean no self-serve. Rankability publishes four tiers you can buy directly, from $99 to $799 a month, with no trial and no free tier attached to any of them. EdenRank runs the opposite arrangement, a free-forever tier on three engines with no trial on any paid plan.

Among the rest, the distinction that matters is whether a number is published at all. Cognizo lists $499 a month for its Platform tier and Evertune lists $800 a month for Pro, and both still route the signup through a demo. Brandlight discloses no pricing on any tier, and Conductor sells custom enterprise contracts only. If your purchase needs a figure before a meeting, that split matters more than the engine count does.

What we could not determine

Two of the 76 tools carry no engine tags at all, and they are not the same kind of blank. GEOrank is recorded in our engine-coverage census as a determined zero: it is a page-diagnostic workbench rather than an engine monitor, so nothing is missing from its record. AI Visibility Report Group sells one-time AI-visibility audits without naming which engines it reads, so its coverage is genuinely undetermined.

That distinction is the reason this page says 75 determined tools where the engine-coverage census does. An undetermined field is not a zero, and rolling the two together would understate every share on this page. Both are excluded from the nineteen and from the fifteen, and if you are evaluating either one, the engine list is the first thing to ask about.

How to check this yourself

Every number here is a filter over our published listings, so all of it is reproducible. The AI visibility monitoring and GEO and content optimization categories are the two halves whose overlap gives the 44. The six-engine collection and the free-trial collection apply the same two filters as browsable pages, though each collection also applies its own editorial checks, so its membership is not always identical to the raw tag filter used here.

The caveat we would flag hardest is that engine coverage is the fastest-moving fact in this category. Vendors add and quietly drop engines between pricing-page revisions, and we have twice had to correct a tool’s Copilot claim after re-reading the vendor’s live page. Treat the six-engine set above as accurate to 18 August 2026, and check the vendor’s own pricing page before you sign.

If you want the whole category ranked rather than this intersection of it, our best AI visibility tools page compares all of them, and how to choose an AI visibility tool is the checklist version of this decision.
