## What to watch for

- **Promptwatch**: Essential plan is capped at 50 tracked prompts and 1 website, which is thin for brands with multiple product lines.
- **Rank Prompt**: Reviewers describe a steep initial learning curve, with the dashboard and prompt-level mapping described as overwhelming at first.
- **Conductor**: Conductor does not publish a rate card for Essentials, Growth, or Enterprise. The $26,800 to $500,000+ per year range and $48,950 median cited here come from Vendr's aggregated real-world contract data as reported by an independent reviewer (tryanalyze.ai), not from Conductor's own site. Treat it as a reported range rather than an official price.

Best match first.

## Shortlist

### 1. Promptwatch

AI search visibility tracking with crawler logs and content agents that publish to your CMS.

**Where it improves on Citeme:**
- [Google AI Mode: yes — Google AI Mode is listed as its own model row alongside AI Overviews in the plan table and appears in the documented live-search group, so it is tracked separately from classic Gemini.](https://promptwatch.com/pricing)
- [Microsoft Copilot: yes — Copilot is named in the documented registry of live-search platforms, although it is not one of the model rows printed on the public plan comparison table.](https://promptwatch.com/docs/academy/choosing-your-models)
- [Self-serve signup: yes — Two self-serve plan ladders are published with a trial button on the cheaper tiers, though the Business card and the Custom tier route to a demo or sales call instead.](https://promptwatch.com/docs/academy/plans-and-billing)

**Trade-offs against Citeme:**
- [Generates content: partial — Content Agents write new articles from citation data, but the entry Essential plan is sold with no article allowance at all; monthly AEO Articles start at five on Professional and ten on Business.](https://promptwatch.com/pricing)
- [Done-for-you service: partial — Self-serve tiers are software only; the quote-only Custom tier adds managed content workflows plus a dedicated success manager, which is the closest the vendor comes to doing the work for you.](https://promptwatch.com/pricing)
- [AI crawler analytics: partial — Crawler log ingestion and Agent Analytics are real but gated: the Crawler Logs row is crossed out on the entry Essential plan and starts at 25M log lines on Professional.](https://promptwatch.com/features/agent-analytics)

### 2. Rank Prompt

AI visibility platform that tracks brand mentions and citations across six answer engines, with content and audits.

**Where it improves on Citeme:**
- [Google AI Mode: yes — AI Mode is queried in the same pass as the other five engines and is listed as included on every plan.](https://rankprompt.com/methodology/)
- [Wrong answers about you: yes — The audit compares each engine's description against configured Brand Facts and flags misstatements such as a wrong category.](https://rankprompt.com/brand-audit/)
- [Card required to start: partial — No card for the standing free plan and its first report, but starting the seven-day trial of a paid plan does require one.](https://rankprompt.com/pricing/)

**Trade-offs against Citeme:**
- [Done-for-you service: partial — Beyond the software the vendor sells a separate done-for-you GEO engagement, quoted from $2,500 a month, where its people write and place the content.](https://rankprompt.com/geo-agency/)
- [DeepSeek: no — DeepSeek is absent from the vendor's complete six-engine inventory, which it states as the full set it tracks on every plan.](https://rankprompt.com/pricing/)
- [Meta AI: no — Meta AI is absent from the vendor's complete six-engine inventory, which it states as the full set it tracks on every plan.](https://rankprompt.com/pricing/)

### 3. Rankshift

Credit-metered AI visibility, citation and crawler tracking with unlimited projects and seats.

**Where it improves on Citeme:**
- [Google AI Mode: yes — Google AI Mode is named as a distinct tracked platform alongside AI Overviews, and the credit calculator offers it as a selectable engine at two credits per run.](https://www.rankshift.ai/ai-citation-tracking/)
- [Microsoft Copilot: yes — Microsoft Copilot is covered and, like Claude, is one of the two engines the vendor's calculator prices at five credits per run instead of two.](https://www.rankshift.ai/ai-citation-tracking/)
- [Card required to start: no — The vendor states no card is needed to begin the 30-day trial and that it can be cancelled at any time, with setup claimed at two minutes.](https://www.rankshift.ai/)

**Trade-offs against Citeme:**
- [Publishes to your site: no — The enumerated integrations are reporting destinations only, and the content flow ends with the user publishing.](https://www.rankshift.ai/prompt-tracking/)
- [Done-for-you service: no — The agency offering is a partner programme for agencies that run the tool themselves on client workspaces, with pitch projects and training, not a done-for-you service delivered by Rankshift staff.](https://www.rankshift.ai/agency/)
- [Grok: no — Grok is absent from every engine inventory the vendor publishes, including this enumerated FAQ answer, the calculator's complete model selector and both feature-page lists.](https://www.rankshift.ai/prompt-tracking/)

### 4. SEOmatic

Autonomous SEO agents that diagnose, write, publish to your CMS and track visibility in AI answers.

**Where it improves on Citeme:**
- [Google AI Mode: yes — Google AI Mode ('google-ai-mode') is listed among the engines a buyer can switch on, but it is not scanned until selected.](https://seomatic.ai/developers/rest-api)
- [Microsoft Copilot: yes — Microsoft Copilot is one of the five opt-in engines in the monitor's options list, so coverage exists but is off until enabled.](https://seomatic.ai/developers/rest-api)
- [Wrong answers about you: yes — Owner-declared business facts are stored as ground truth and used to spot AI answers that contradict them, though the vendor markets no separate hallucination report.](https://seomatic.ai/developers/rest-api)

**Trade-offs against Citeme:**
- [DeepSeek: no — DeepSeek is absent from the vendor's complete list of selectable monitor engines, which enumerates eight options and three defaults with no open-ended wording.](https://seomatic.ai/developers/rest-api)
- [Meta AI: no — Meta AI is not among the eight engines the visibility monitor can be set to query; the API documents the engine set as a closed list of options.](https://seomatic.ai/developers/rest-api)
- [Prompt or credit allowance: partial — Plans are metered in AI credits rather than a published prompt count; the free plan states one visibility scan and the API documents a plan prompt allowance it does not quantify publicly.](https://seomatic.ai/pricing)

### 5. Conductor

Enterprise AEO platform: AI visibility tracking, content generation, 24/7 site monitoring and API/MCP access.

**Trade-offs against Citeme:**
- [Publishes to your site: no — Drafts leave Conductor as a downloaded .docx brief; the CMS integrations surface recommendations inside Drupal and trigger audits in WordPress rather than pushing content live.](https://www.conductor.com/docs/creator/writing-assistant)
- [DeepSeek: no — DeepSeek is absent from the vendor's own complete list of currently supported engines, and the vendor invites requests for engines it does not yet cover.](https://www.conductor.com/docs/intelligence/ai-search-faqs)
- [Meta AI: no — Meta AI does not appear in the enumerated list of engines Conductor currently supports, nor in the credits estimator which prices each selectable engine.](https://www.conductor.com/docs/intelligence/ai-search-faqs)

### 6. Qwairy

GEO platform that monitors brand mentions across AI engines and recommends content and technical fixes.

**Where it improves on Citeme:**

- [Microsoft Copilot: yes — Qwairy lists Microsoft Copilot (UI) in the engine inventory included on every paid plan, so tracking it needs no add-on; the entry is UI-only rather than API-based](https://www.qwairy.co/pricing)

**Trade-offs against Citeme:**
- [Publishes to your site: no — The integration directory it calls complete covers search, analytics, crawler logs and reporting only; its WordPress entry forwards crawler requests rather than pushing content, and publishing is described as the customer's step.](https://www.qwairy.co/integrations)
- [Done-for-you service: no — Qwairy sells software to agencies rather than doing the work: the agency programme is tooling to pitch, deliver and white-label GEO services for their own clients.](https://www.qwairy.co/agency)
- [DeepSeek: no — DeepSeek appears nowhere in the eighteen-engine inventory included on all plans, and unlike every covered engine it has no visibility-tracker page in the sitemap; it is mentioned only in a glossary article.](https://www.qwairy.co/pricing)
