The neutral index of AI-visibility & GEO tools

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

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…citadex.io/pricing

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

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
