AthenaHQ
AEO/GEO platform that tracks brand visibility across AI answer engines and prescribes fixes.
From FreeWhy it's on this listA standing free "Essential" plan (a $25, roughly 300-credit allowance across five engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews, Gemini and Claude) against Goodie's $399-or-nothing entry, and its $295/month Starter tier unlocks nine AI models — more than Goodie's Explorer or Pro tiers name, without a booked demo. AthenaHQ has no free trial of that paid tier, though, and, like the others here, no AI-shopping-assistant module.

- +Gemini · YesIncluded on every plan, free tier included.Evidence ↗
- +Microsoft Copilot · YesIncluded on every plan, free tier included.Evidence ↗
- +Self-serve signup · YesEssential and Starter are self-serve signup; Enterprise requires contacting salesEvidence ↗
Trade-offs against Goodie
- −AI crawler analytics · PartialIt diagnoses whether AI crawlers can reach your pages and manages their access, but nowhere claims a log of which AI bots actually crawled the site.Evidence ↗
- −Countries · PartialStarter is single-region; multi-country tracking is Enterprise only.Evidence ↗

- +Claude · YesClaude named as trackable and as a measured platform on the insights pageEvidence ↗
Trade-offs against Goodie

30/32 researched criteria · 2 not established - 03
Citadex
Full-stack AEO and GEO platform: monitors AI answer engines, then scores, generates and publishes fix content.
From $39/monthWhy it's on this listGemini · YesOne of the four engines included on Starter, so covered on every tier.Evidence ↗
Where it improves on Goodie
- +Projects or brands · Yes1 project on Starter, 5 on Pro, unlimited on Business and Enterprise; each project is an isolated workspace with its own prompts, competitors and history.Evidence ↗
- +Self-serve signup · YesStarter, Pro and Business are bought by card through Stripe with no minimum term; only Enterprise routes to sales.Evidence ↗
Trade-offs against Goodie
- −Done-for-you service · NoSoftware only: agencies buy a Business or Enterprise plan and deliver the service to their own clients; Citadex sells a partner program, not done-for-you work.Evidence ↗
- −Meta AI · NoAbsent from the enumerated 11 engines, which name Mistral and Qwen in the slots a Meta AI would occupy; a May 2026 comparison post still claims it, see notes.Evidence ↗
- −AI crawler analytics · NoThe only crawler feature is a free checker for whether GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot are permitted; no module in the product or plan lists reports which AI bots actually crawled the site.Evidence ↗

Where it improves on Goodie
- +Google AI Mode · YesCovered as a single Google slot the vendor writes as "Google AI Mode (AI Overviews)", bundled on every plan.Evidence ↗
- +Claude · YesBundled on every plan; a search-enabled "Claude Search" variant is sold as an extra engine.Evidence ↗
Trade-offs against Goodie
- −Microsoft Copilot · NoAbsent from the closed six-platform monitoring list; Copilot appears only in GA4 referral-traffic detection, which measures human visits rather than answers.Evidence ↗
- −DeepSeek · NoNot named anywhere on the site; absent from the closed six-platform enumeration repeated on at least five pages.Evidence ↗
- −Meta AI · NoAbsent from the monitored six; Meta AI is named only in the GA4 referral-detection list of surfaces visitors arrive from.Evidence ↗

Orchly
AI agents that monitor AI search visibility and then write, fix and publish the content.
From $49/monthWhy it's on this listSelf-serve signup · YesEssential and Pro are priced and sign-up is self-service; only Enterprise needs sales.Evidence ↗
Where it improves on Goodie
- +API · YesAPI listed on Essential and Pro; Enterprise gets 'Full API Access'.Evidence ↗
Trade-offs against Goodie
- −Done-for-you service · NoSelf-serve software; the work is done by AI agents, agency support is onboarding only.Evidence ↗

Promptwatch
AI search visibility platform for brand mentions, citations and AI crawler logs, with content agents.
From FreeWhy it's on this listA genuinely free-forever "Explore" plan ($0/month) against Goodie's $399/month paid-only entry, plus its own Agent Analytics module — real-time AI-crawler-log monitoring for bots like GPTBot and PerplexityBot — the closest published parallel to Goodie's separate Agent Experience Suite. Paid tiers run $95-$579/month once the free plan's unpublished caps are outgrown, and neither tier touches AI-shopping-assistant tracking.
Where it improves on Goodie
- +Gemini · YesLive-search platform; the vendor warns Gemini answers are usually synthesised with few or no visible source links, so mentions beat citation counts there.Evidence ↗
- +Google AI Mode · YesLive-search platform, listed as its own row in the pricing model table alongside AI Overviews.Evidence ↗
- +Claude · YesTracked in the API-model group, so it reports what the model believes about the brand and returns citations only when the provider supplies sources.Evidence ↗
Trade-offs against Goodie
- −Generates content · PartialThe entry paid tier includes no article generation; Professional grants 5 AEO Articles/mo and Business 10/mo.Evidence ↗
- −Technical AEO · PartialCovers crawler directives (robots.txt and bot blocks seen in Crawler Logs) and page-level technical health; llms.txt only via a standalone free generator, and no schema-markup capability is claimed.Evidence ↗
- −AI crawler analytics · PartialCrawler log ingestion is crossed out on Essential in the pricing comparison; Professional includes 25M crawler log events a month and Business 100M.Evidence ↗
