Summary
Citadex is a full-stack AEO and GEO platform that queries AI answer engines with a brand's buyer prompts and scores how each one mentions, ranks and describes it. It also drafts, scores and publishes the content meant to close the gaps.
- Best for
- A multi-market brand or agency that wants AI visibility tracking, competitor interception and an answer-ready content workflow in one paid workspace.
- Not for
- Teams that only need a free citability check or schema generator, or that already have a content workflow they are happy with and only want a passive monitoring feed.
- From
- $39/month$39 monthly · $33 billed annually
- Free trial
- Partly7-day free trial on any of the three self-serve plans, no credit card, inheriting that plan's full features with auto-generation capped at 20 articles during the trial. No free plan of the platform exists on the pricing page; the 23 standalone AEO tools are free but require an account.
What it does
- Monitors AI answers
- YesQueries the engines with the project's prompt library and parses each answer for mentions, mention type, sentiment and competitor co-mentions.
Track your brand's mention rate, rank, sentiment, and citations across all 11 AI engines — in real time.
citadex.io/about - Optimises your content
- YesContent Scoring audits existing pages for citation-readiness; plan rows cap Starter at 3 content scans/day, Pro at 30, Business at 100.
Audit every page for AI citation-readiness: structure, schema, answer density and clarity.
citadex.io/solutions/teams/content - Generates content
- YesAnswer Assets drafts articles; the monthly allowance is 5 on Starter, 30 on Pro, 60 on Business, custom on Enterprise, and 20 during any trial.
Generate answer-ready, AEO-optimized content, built to be quoted — from a full research-to-draft pipeline.
citadex.io/about - Publishes 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.
Push approved content live in one click to 10+ channels — CMS, blog, and social — straight from Citadex.
citadex.io/about - Technical AEO
- YesSchema is generated inside content briefs, and the free tool set includes llms.txt, FAQ schema and Organization/Product/Article schema generators.
Auto-suggest FAQ and Article schema, comparison tables and answer blocks AI can quote.
citadex.io/solutions/teams/content - Done-for-you service
- NoSoftware only: agencies buy a Business or Enterprise plan and deliver the service to their own clients; Citadex sells a partner program, not done-for-you work.
There’s no separate "agency" price tier. Agencies run multiple client brands on a single Business or Enterprise plan — each brand keeps its own…

What it reports
- Names the cited sources
- YesExtracts the cited sources behind each answer and reports owned versus earned citation share by domain; "Citation analysis" is a row on every paid plan.
Trace the exact sources AI pulls from — Wikipedia, Reddit, news, your own docs — so you know what to influence.
citadex.io/about - Competitor tracking
- YesShare-of-voice benchmarking plus intercept alerts on answers where a rival is named and you are not; "Competitor research" is a row on every paid plan.
Benchmark your share of AI voice against competitors, by engine and prompt type.
citadex.io/solutions/teams/aeo - Brand sentiment
- YesSentiment plus the attributes AI associates with the brand, per engine and over time; "Sentiment analysis" is a row on every paid plan.
Sentiment, attributes and the sources behind them, across every engine and over time, so you catch a bad narrative before it spreads.
citadex.io/solutions/teams/brand - Recommendations
- YesScoring returns ranked fixes rather than a score alone, and the AEO dashboard surfaces priorities automatically.
See exactly what makes a page quotable — structure, schema, answer density — and the fixes ranked by impact.
citadex.io/solutions/teams/content - AI crawler analytics
- NoThe only crawler feature is a free checker for whether GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot are permitted; no module in the product or plan lists reports which AI bots actually crawled the site.
AI Crawler Access Checker Is GPTBot/ClaudeBot/PerplexityBot allowed?
citadex.io/resources - Wrong answers about you
- YesNarrative QA flags wrong claims with reach and tracks them to a fix; a separate LLM-judged Context Health signal flags wrong-industry or wrong-language descriptions.
Continuously check AI answers for wrong claims about pricing, leadership, security and scope.

Plans and signing up
- Prompt or credit allowance

citadex.io/pricing - Countries
- YesAny country or language from Pro upward, with the same prompts run per market; Starter is capped at one country/language.
Yes. Citadex tracks visibility in any language and runs the same prompts per market, so you can see how AI answers differ by region.
citadex.io - How often it checks
- YesScans run on demand or on an automated daily or weekly schedule set per project; a full multi-platform check completes in 30–90 seconds.
Weekly minimum for active monitoring. Pro users can set automated daily or weekly checks via Project Settings.
citadex.io/help/visibility-tracking-gui… - Card required to start
- NoThe 7-day trial starts without a charge, and the site's calls to action state no credit card is required.

citadex.io/pricing - Self-serve signup
- YesStarter, Pro and Business are bought by card through Stripe with no minimum term; only Enterprise routes to sales.
Self-serve plans are month-to-month (or annual if you choose), with no setup fees and no minimum commitment. Enterprise agreements can be customized…

Access and integrations
- API
- PartlyA May 2026 comparison post claims an API, but no plan tier lists API access, no API documentation exists in the help centre, and the same post is stale on price and engine count.
Solid API, fewer pre-built integrations today, but easy custom workflows.
citadex.io/blog/citadex-vs-profound - BI export
- PartlyData export appears as a plan row on Business and Enterprise only, and no Looker, Power BI or warehouse destination is named anywhere on the site.citadex.io/pricing
