It scores each scan in four layers — entity recognition, depth, recommendation and citation — against tracked competitors. | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Website | https://botscope.ai | | Price | from $29/month | | Free trial | Partly | 30-day trial with 200 one-off credits, 1 seat, ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews only, no credit card; plus a separate one-off 15-prompt free scan with no account. No standing $0 plan. ## What it does **Monitors AI answers** · Yes — Its entire purpose is sampling generative engines on a schedule and scoring how they describe and recommend the brand. > BotScope is built to answer one question: how does generative AI represent your brand? Every feature exists to make that answer measurable, repeatable, and actionable. > — https://www.botscope.ai/features · Features intro, above CAP.001 **Optimises your content** · Partly — It names the categories and pages that are not landing and ranks gaps, but does not audit pages you supply or give page-level edits. > BotScope lists the categories where AI recommends your competitors and never you, ranked by how many of your prompts they cover, with the competitors that win them instead. > — https://www.botscope.ai/features · CAP.004 Priority gaps **Generates content** · No — Nothing in the product writes copy; it is described as a measurement instrument and its capability list covers scanning, scoring and reporting only. > BotScope is a scientific instrument for watching how generative AI represents your brand. > — https://www.botscope.ai/about · About, opening paragraph **Publishes to your site** · No — There is no CMS or publishing integration anywhere in the capability list or the API; the product only reads and reports. > BotScope is a scientific instrument for watching how generative AI represents your brand. > — https://www.botscope.ai/about · About, opening paragraph **Technical AEO** · No — It publishes advice about structuring pages but ships no schema, llms.txt or crawler-directive tooling among its nine capabilities. > BotScope is one system, not a stack of tools. Watchlist, scan engine, scoring, reports, and integrations are wired into a single observatory so the signal you act on is the signal we collected. > — https://www.botscope.ai/features · SECT.02 SYSTEM **Done-for-you service** · No — Software only: the Agency plan sells credits, seats and white-label reports plus account reviews, not people doing the optimisation work. > Unlimited brands · 50 seats > — https://www.botscope.ai/pricing · Pricing cards, Agency plan feature list ## Answer engines **ChatGPT** · Yes — ChatGPT is the first named provider, tracked on every plan including the trial, and the only surface where ad and shopping-carousel data is collected. > ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, and Microsoft Copilot. Add models as they launch — a single watchlist runs against all of them. > — https://www.botscope.ai/features · CAP.002 Multi-model coverage section **Perplexity** · No — Perplexity appears in BotScope's explainer prose about the field and in an illustrative mock, but the five providers it actually queries do not include it. > ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, and Microsoft Copilot. Add models as they launch — a single watchlist runs against all of them. > — https://www.botscope.ai/features · CAP.002 Multi-model coverage section **Gemini** · Yes — Gemini is one of the five providers every paid watchlist runs against, and it is also used in the research-studies feature. > ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, and Microsoft Copilot.

Add models as they launch — a single watchlist runs against all of them. > — https://www.botscope.ai/features · CAP.002 Multi-model coverage section **Google AI Mode** · No — BotScope's multi-model capability names five providers and the plans sell "All 5 model providers", so Google AI Mode is not among the engines it queries on any tier. > ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, and Microsoft Copilot. Add models as they launch — a single watchlist runs against all of them. > — https://www.botscope.ai/features · CAP.002 Multi-model coverage section **Claude** · Yes — Claude is one of the five tracked providers on paid plans, though the trial covers only ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews. > ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, and Microsoft Copilot. Add models as they launch — a single watchlist runs against all of them. > — https://www.botscope.ai/features · CAP.002 Multi-model coverage section **Microsoft Copilot** · Yes — Microsoft Copilot is the fifth named provider, included from the entry Starter tier upward rather than gated to enterprise. > ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, and Microsoft Copilot. Add models as they launch — a single watchlist runs against all of them. > — https://www.botscope.ai/features · CAP.002 Multi-model coverage section **Grok** · No — BotScope's multi-model capability names five providers and the plans sell "All 5 model providers", so Grok is not among the engines it queries on any tier. > ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, and Microsoft Copilot. Add models as they launch — a single watchlist runs against all of them. > — https://www.botscope.ai/features · CAP.002 Multi-model coverage section **DeepSeek** · No — BotScope's multi-model capability names five providers and the plans sell "All 5 model providers", so DeepSeek is not among the engines it queries on any tier. > ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, and Microsoft Copilot.

Add models as they launch — a single watchlist runs against all of them. > — https://www.botscope.ai/features · CAP.002 Multi-model coverage section **Coverage in the vendor’s words** · Yes — The vendor states five providers for the full product, with the trial limited to two of them, and promises new models are added as they launch. > All 5 model providers > — https://www.botscope.ai/pricing · Pricing cards, Starter plan feature list ## What it reports **Names the cited sources** · Yes — Citations are captured per run and deduped, with a Sources view showing which other sites answers cite instead of you. > When a model cites a URL, we capture it and dedupe across runs.

Watch the gap close — or widen — week over week. > — https://www.botscope.ai/features · CAP.005 Competitor delta tracking **Brand sentiment** · Partly — Every mention is sentiment-scored and L2 judges the accuracy of claims, but the pricing table lists sentiment analysis from Pro upward, not on entry Starter. > Sentiment analysis > — https://www.botscope.ai/pricing · Pricing cards, Pro plan feature list **Recommendations** · Partly — It ranks which category gaps and pages to attack and points at claims that are not landing, but stops short of prescriptive content edits. > BotScope points you at the specific entities, claims, and pages that aren't landing. Fix them. Watch the scores move. > — https://www.botscope.ai/ · Homepage, step 04 Close the gaps **AI crawler analytics** · No — It samples public AI answers from the outside and needs no tag or log access, so AI-bot crawl data on your own site is not available. > No. The scan reads public AI answers about your brand from the outside. It needs nothing more than your brand name and domain — no tags, no plugins, no analytics access. > — https://www.botscope.ai/free-scan · FAQ, 'Do I need to install anything or give access to my site?' **Wrong answers about you** · Partly — Layer 2 scores the accuracy and completeness of claims and surfaces outdated ones, but there is no dedicated false-statement alert. > Once a model knows you exist, L2 evaluates how deep and accurate that knowledge goes — your products, positioning, people, pricing, and proof. An L2 failure looks like outdated claims > — https://www.botscope.ai/ai-visibility · SECT.03, L2 Entity Depth ## Plans and signing up **Prompt or credit allowance** · Yes — Plans are metered in credits where one credit is one query against one model on one day, from 1,000 on Starter to 75,000 on Agency. > One credit equals one model query — that is, one query run against one model on one day. A watchlist with 10 queries × 5 models scanned daily uses 50 credits per day. > — https://www.botscope.ai/pricing · FAQ, 'What is a credit?' **Projects or brands** · Yes — Every paid tier carries unlimited brands with the limit falling on credits and seats instead, so multiple brands are standard. > Unlimited brands · 3 seats > — https://www.botscope.ai/pricing · Pricing cards, Starter plan feature list **Countries** · Yes — A tracking country is set per project so scans run in that market, and prompt and competitor suggestions follow it. > Set a tracking country per project and new scans run in that market. The same prompt returns a different set of brands in the UK than it does in the US — now you measure the one your customers are actually in. > — https://www.botscope.ai/changelog · July 2026, 'Choose the market each project is tracked in' **How often it checks** · Yes — Cadence is selectable from daily to monthly, with daily scans on every paid tier and up to four repeat runs per scan day. > Scan every day, or weekly, fortnightly or monthly. On a daily schedule the data behind your decisions reflects what AI is saying right now, not last Tuesday. > — https://www.botscope.ai/features · CAP.007 Daily scan cadence **Card required to start** · No — The 30-day 200-credit trial is explicitly cardless, and the one-off free scan needs no account at all. > Free 30-day trial: 200 credits on ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews. No credit card required. > — https://www.botscope.ai/features · Closing START TRACKING block **Self-serve signup** · Yes — Every tier up to Agency signs up straight from the pricing page; only the custom Enterprise tier routes through sales. > Pick the tier that fits your watchlist; change tiers at any time. > — https://www.botscope.ai/pricing · Pricing intro, above the plan cards ## Access and integrations **API** · Yes — A versioned read-only REST API is included on all paid plans at 120 requests per minute, but not on the trial. > Included on all paid plans.
