- +Card required to start · PartialNo card for the free plan or the first full report; a card is required to start the 7-day paid-plan trial.Evidence ↗
Trade-offs against Cognizo

- −Done-for-you service · NoQwairy sells the tooling, not the delivery: agencies run their own GEO retainers on it, and the agency plans are white-label platform seats rather than a managed service.Evidence ↗
- −Meta AI · NoAbsent from the ten engines Qwairy enumerates by name, and absent from both the Core and Premium model tables in its docs.Evidence ↗

Independent order. Payment does not affect selection or ranking. Paid placements are labelled Advertisement.
