Summary

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 Overviews
getcito.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 Overviews
getcito.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 Overviews
getcito.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 Overviews
getcito.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 AI
getcito.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 AI
getcito.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 AI
getcito.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 AI
getcito.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 AI
getcito.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 AI
