Answer engines

ChatGPT
YesChatGPT is covered on every tier including the free self-hosted plan, which lists it as one of only two engines.Coverage: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviewsgetcito.com/pricing
Perplexity
YesPerplexity is included from the entry paid Growth plan upward; the free self-host tier's platform row names only ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews.Coverage: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviewsgetcito.com/pricing
Gemini
YesGemini appears in the coverage line of the entry paid plan and again in the Enterprise inventory, so it is tracked from $599/mo.Coverage: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviewsgetcito.com/pricing
Google AI Overviews
YesGoogle AI Overviews is the one engine besides ChatGPT that even the free self-hosted plan's platform row names, and it runs through every tier.Coverage: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviewsgetcito.com/pricing
Google AI Mode
PartlyGoogle AI Mode appears only in the custom-quoted Enterprise coverage list; the two self-serve paid plans name four engines and AI Mode is not among them.Coverage: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Claude, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Grok (Coming soon), DeepSeek, Meta AIgetcito.com/pricing
Claude
PartlyClaude is tracked only on the Enterprise plan, which is quoted rather than priced; Growth and Scale list four engines without it.Coverage: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Claude, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Grok (Coming soon), DeepSeek, Meta AIgetcito.com/pricing
Microsoft Copilot
PartlyMicrosoft Copilot sits in the Enterprise coverage inventory only, so a self-serve buyer on Growth or Scale does not get it.Coverage: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Claude, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Grok (Coming soon), DeepSeek, Meta AIgetcito.com/pricing
Grok
NoGrok is the only engine the vendor marks unavailable: it appears in the Enterprise list explicitly labelled coming soon, and nowhere on cheaper tiers.Grok (Coming soon)getcito.com/pricing
DeepSeek
PartlyDeepSeek is listed only in the Enterprise coverage inventory, which is custom-quoted, so the two published paid tiers exclude it.Coverage: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Claude, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Grok (Coming soon), DeepSeek, Meta AIgetcito.com/pricing
Meta AI
PartlyMeta AI closes the Enterprise coverage list and appears on no other tier, so reaching it means a sales conversation.Coverage: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Claude, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Grok (Coming soon), DeepSeek, Meta AIgetcito.com/pricing
Coverage in the vendor’s words
PartlyCoverage is tier-gated and enumerated per column: two engines self-hosted, four on both paid self-serve plans, ten only on quoted Enterprise.Coverage: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Claude, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Grok (Coming soon), DeepSeek, Meta AIgetcito.com/pricing
