# Citadex — Full-stack AEO and GEO platform: monitors AI answer engines, then scores, generates and publishes fix content. > Source: CitedIndex — https://citedindex.com/citadex (structured, researched, re-verified) > Facts last verified: 2026-09-01 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. | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Website | https://citadex.io/ | | Price | from $39/month billed monthly, $33/month billed annually | | Free trial | Partly | 7-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.
