# CiteVista — Credit-based GEO/AEO analytics that measures brand citations in ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity answers. > Source: CitedIndex — https://citedindex.com/citevista (structured, researched, re-verified) > Facts last verified: 2026-10-08 CiteVista is a credit-based GEO and AEO analytics platform that simulates AI answers to measure how often a brand's pages get cited. It bundles five modules: prompt generation, citation visibility, query intelligence, brand perception and a technical audit. | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Website | https://www.citevista.com/ | | Price | from $15/credit pack pay-as-you-go | | Free tier | Partly | Every new account receives 50 free credits usable across the full feature set, with no credit card and no subscription. Credits never expire, so the grant is one-off rather than a recurring monthly allowance. ## What it does **Monitors AI answers** · Yes — Core purpose: it runs simulated prompts against AI models and scores how often the brand is cited, though runs are user-triggered rather than a standing watch. > CiteVista measures your brand's citation visibility across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and more — showing you exactly where you appear, where competitors appear instead, and what's driving the difference. > — https://www.citevista.com/ · Hero section, paragraph under the headline **Optimises your content** · Partly — It audits a page you already have, but only on technical readability signals: headings, titles, JS rendering and schema. No guidance on the wording of the page itself. > The AI Technical Audit checks whether your site is technically visible to LLMs: bot access permissions, content structure, JavaScript render dependency, and schema markup — across three modules in one report. > — https://www.citevista.com/solutions/ai-technical-audit · Page meta description and opening module summary **Generates content** · No — The only thing it writes is test prompts for its own analyses: twenty suggested customer questions you pick from.
