- +Grok · YesNamed in the vendor's list of trackable platformsEvidence ↗

30/32 researched criteria · 2 not established - 02
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 Brandlight
- +Grok · PartialSame add-on metering as Gemini: labelled "Add-on engine" and charged one extra credit per prompt.Evidence ↗
- +How often it checks · YesDaily, weekly or monthly schedules with a chosen next-run time; runs can also be triggered on demand via the API.Evidence ↗
Trade-offs against Brandlight
- −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 ↗
- −AI crawler analytics · NoWhat it measures is inbound human sessions referred from AI surfaces via GA4, not AI bots crawling your site.Evidence ↗

Where it improves on Brandlight
- +Grok · YesGrok is named second in the platform enumeration.Evidence ↗
- +DeepSeek · PartialClaimed in the coverage FAQ but absent from the pricing page's seven-platform enumeration.Evidence ↗
Trade-offs against Brandlight
- −Done-for-you service · PartialSoftware-led, but Enterprise plans can add onboarding services; agencies get white-label dashboards rather than done-for-you work.Evidence ↗

- −Wrong answers about you · PartialAssesses misinterpretation and misread risk for pages and brand, but does not claim a false-statement alert on engine answers.Evidence ↗
30/32 researched criteria · 2 not established - 04
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 Brandlight
- +Grok · YesCore model at 1 credit per answer, plus premium xAI API models Grok 4.3 and Grok 4.5 at 5 and 3 credits.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 ↗
Trade-offs against Brandlight
- −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 ↗
- −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 ↗
32/32 researched criteria - 05

From $125/monthWhy it's on this listGrok · PartialTracked as a custom add-on rather than on the standard tiers.Evidence ↗
Where it improves on Brandlight
- +DeepSeek · PartialRestricted to Custom-plan customers as a custom integration.Evidence ↗
- +How often it checks · YesPrompts run daily; the Custom tier can choose daily or weekly.Evidence ↗
Trade-offs against Brandlight
- −Done-for-you service · NoSelf-serve software; agency features are tooling the customer's own team operates, not delivery by Searchable.Evidence ↗
- −Claude · PartialTracked, but the pricing page states it is a custom add-on rather than standard.Evidence ↗
- −Coverage in the vendor’s words · PartialThree engines are standard; Copilot, Claude, Grok and DeepSeek are add-ons or Custom-plan integrations, and the coverage set is chosen at onboarding.Evidence ↗

Citadex
Full-stack AEO and GEO platform: monitors AI answer engines, then scores, generates and publishes fix content.
From $39/monthWhy it's on this listPublishes to your site · YesOne-click publishing is on every paid tier; a Chrome extension fills each platform's editor using accounts you are already logged into, rather than CMS APIs.Evidence ↗
Where it improves on Brandlight
- +Grok · PartialNot in any plan's standard engines: a $19/mo optional-engine add-on available on Pro and Business only, and included in Enterprise's "All 11 AI engines".Evidence ↗

Trade-offs against Brandlight

- −Google AI Mode · PartialGoogle AI Mode is in the seven engines from Pro upward and absent from Starter's four; the same Pro and Business cards also list it again under paid add-ons.Evidence ↗
- −Claude · PartialIncluded from Pro ($179/mo monthly) upward; absent from the four engines Starter tracks.Evidence ↗

How the shortlist is calculated
Comparable first. We consider listings in the same category as Brandlight and alternatives previously researched for this page.
Requirements first. We prioritise your selected needs, then shared strengths, fewer documented trade-offs, more complete research and finally alphabetical order.
Unknown remains unknown. Missing evidence is never converted into a benefit or a trade-off. Every improvement shown above comes from the same sourced criterion as the listing.
Independent order. Payment does not affect selection or ranking. Paid placements are labelled Advertisement.
