Qwairy
GEO platform that monitors brand mentions across 10 AI engines and feeds content, technical and traffic work.
From FreeWhy it's on this listGrok · YesCore model at 1 credit per answer, plus premium xAI API models Grok 4.3 and Grok 4.5 at 5 and 3 credits.Evidence ↗
Where it improves on Conductor

Trade-offs against Conductor
- −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 ↗
- −BI export · PartialThe Looker Studio connector needs a Business plan or higher and exposes 12 data sources; CSV and PDF exports are on every tier, and BigQuery or Snowflake loads go through API v1, so they inherit its Growth-or-above gate.Evidence ↗
