Knowatoa

Summary

Knowatoa is an AI search visibility platform that queries seven AI answer services daily for questions a brand cares about, reporting mentions, citations, sentiment and competitor gaps. It also drafts articles from those gaps and publishes them to a CMS.

Not for
Teams that need traffic/revenue attribution from AI answers, a full-service SEO platform, or built-in content management, Knowatoa is monitoring-focused, with content drafting only as an add-on agent.

Answer engines

ChatGPT
YesChatGPT is one of the seven monitored services and is included on the cheapest paid tier, not held back for upgrades.knowatoa.com/pricing
Perplexity
PartlyPerplexity is tracked, but the Starter plan at $59 covers only ChatGPT, AI Overviews and AI Mode, so Perplexity needs the $199 Growth tier.knowatoa.com/pricing
Gemini
PartlyGemini appears in the Growth plan's icon list of AI search services; the Starter tier's three named services do not include it.Everything in Starter, plus: AI search services ChatGPT AI Overviews AI Mode Claude Gemini Meta AI Perplexityknowatoa.com
Google AI Overviews
YesGoogle AI Overviews is covered on every tier including Starter and has its own brand-monitoring page on the vendor site.knowatoa.com/pricing
Google AI Mode
YesGoogle AI Mode is listed among the three services included on the entry Starter plan and is one of the seven monitored services overall.knowatoa.com/pricing
Claude
PartlyClaude is one of the seven supported platforms but sits outside the Starter trio, so tracking it requires the Growth plan.knowatoa.com
Microsoft Copilot
NoMicrosoft Copilot is absent from both complete supported-platform inventories; only an API marketing page contradicts this, which we treat as stale copy.knowatoa.com/features/multi-model-cover…
Grok
NoGrok does not appear in the seven-platform supported list, the plan comparison row, or the per-engine monitoring pages the vendor publishes.knowatoa.com/features/multi-model-cover…
DeepSeek
NoDeepSeek is not among the seven services the vendor enumerates as supported, on any plan, and has no monitoring page of its own.knowatoa.com/features/multi-model-cover…
Meta AI
PartlyMeta AI is supported and has its own monitoring page, but like Claude and Perplexity it is part of the Growth plan's full seven rather than Starter.knowatoa.com
Coverage in the vendor’s words
YesThe vendor states seven services and splits them by tier: three on Starter, all seven on Growth and Enterprise, with the default model used per service.knowatoa.com/pricing

What it reports

Names the cited sources
YesIt reports which domains and URLs the engines cite, both the brand's own best-performing pages and the third-party sources shaping each answer.The URLs AI is already citing for your brand, and the ones outperforming everything else on your site.knowatoa.com
Competitor tracking
YesCompetitor visibility gaps are a row on every plan including Starter, with head-to-head views of questions rivals own and the brand does not.See which competitors dominate which questions, then close the gap with targeted content.knowatoa.com
Brand sentiment
YesSentiment of AI responses is analysed and tracked over time, and brand sentiment alerts are listed on all three plan columns.Sentiment Monitoring Analyze the tone and sentiment of AI responses about your brand to understand perception.knowatoa.com/features
Recommendations
YesEach finding comes with a stated next action, down to which content to update and which sources to optimise, rather than a report alone.Every accuracy issue comes with specific recommendations on how to fix it. We tell you what content to update and which sources to optimize.knowatoa.com/features/accuracy-tracking
AI crawler analytics
PartlyThe AI Search Console shows bot access across 15+ crawler types and tracks patterns over time, but it actively probes access rather than reading your server logs.We actively test AI bot access in real-time, not passive log analysis that misses problems until they've already hurt your visibility.knowatoa.com/features/ai-search-console
Wrong answers about you
YesAccuracy Tracking flags responses containing invented or outdated facts about the brand, categorises them and traces where the error came from.Knowatoa verifies the factual accuracy of AI responses about your brand. Catch misinformation, outdated details, and AI hallucinations before they…knowatoa.com/features/accuracy-tracking

Plans and signing up

Prompt or credit allowance
PartlyMetered in questions, pooled across all sites in the account, but no per-plan question count is published on any page; Growth is described only as having no volume worry.All sites share the same question limit, so you can allocate your questions across your sites however you need.knowatoa.com/pricing

How often it checks
YesQueries run daily against each platform, with a weekly digest on top; the vendor argues daily is necessary because answers change that fast.Was Partly before our last check.Daily Multi-Platform Queries We query each AI platform daily to capture responses and track your visibility.knowatoa.com/features/multi-model-cover…
Card required to start
PartlyThe article-generation page promises no credit card, yet the signup flow says you pick a Starter trial and add your site after checkout, so the two pages disagree.Was No before our last check.Free trial, no credit card. Drafts ready in minutes.knowatoa.com/features/ai-article-genera…
Self-serve signup
YesStarter and Growth both start from a self-serve trial signup with no sales contact; only the custom Enterprise tier routes to a scheduled call.Create your account first, then choose your Starter trial.
