LLM Pulse is an AI search and GEO platform that runs a brand's tracked prompts against AI assistants and records mentions, positions, citations and sentiment. It pairs that measurement with recommendations, a GEO Writer and technical crawlability tooling.

| Website | https://llmpulse.ai |
| Price | from €49/month (about $55) billed monthly, €40.83/month (about $46) billed annually |
| Free trial | Partly |

14-day free trial with full access to the tier's features, offered only on weekly Starter, Growth and Scale; a payment method is required, and Scale+, Scale++ and all daily-tracking plans start paid. Several checkers (robots.txt, llms.txt generator, crawlability) are free without an account, but there is no standing free plan for the tracking product.

## What it does

**Monitors AI answers** · Yes — Core purpose: tracked prompts are executed against AI assistants on a schedule and the resulting answers are parsed for brand mentions and positions, on every plan.

> LLM Pulse monitors how brands are mentioned, cited, and described inside AI-generated answers, and turns that into analytics teams can act on.

**Optimises your content** · Yes — GEO Writer analyses pages you already have and returns improvement guidance; the vendor lists content updates as a distinct task type alongside new drafts.

> Analyze and update your existing content with AI-driven recommendations to improve visibility and citation potential.

**Generates content** · Yes — GEO Writer drafts briefs and complete articles from the account's own visibility data, and is included from the entry Starter plan upward.

> Yes, you can generate complete, SEO-optimized articles designed to be cited by AI models.
> — https://llmpulse.ai/features/geo-writer · FAQ, 'Can GEO Writer write complete articles?'

**Publishes to your site** · No — Generated content leaves the product as a file or a copy-paste; the vendor's own list of delivery options for GEO Writer output names no CMS destination, and no CMS integration appears on the site.

> Get comprehensive, actionable output in minutes. Export as PDF, Markdown, or copy directly to your content workflow.

**Technical AEO** · Yes — A dedicated technical GEO toolkit covers robots.txt auditing for AI bots, llms.txt generation and schema/structured-data recommendations, with several checkers free and account-free.

> Technical GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) focuses on the infrastructure and technical aspects of making your content discoverable by AI models. This includes robots.txt configuration, llms.txt files, structured data
> — https://llmpulse.ai/features/geo-optimization · FAQ, 'What is technical GEO?'

**Done-for-you service** · No — Agencies are a target segment but they operate the software themselves; the vendor sells seats, projects and white-label portals rather than performing the optimisation work.

> Yes, agencies are one of our largest customer segments. You get multi-project management, unlimited seats, white-label options, a Looker Studio connector with a ready-made report template, CSV and Excel exports

> — https://llmpulse.ai/faq · FAQ, 'Which AI models do you track?'

**Microsoft Copilot** · Partly — Copilot tracking exists only as a purchased add-on, listed at EUR 10 per month on weekly Starter and EUR 180 on Scale++.

> Meta AI / Muse | EUR 12 | EUR 45 | EUR 110 | EUR 285 | EUR 570
> — https://llmpulse.ai/pricing/ai-models · 'Weekly tracking' add-on table, 'Meta AI / Muse' row

## What it reports

**Names the cited sources** · Yes — Citation and source analysis is in the entry Starter feature list, showing which domains and pages the models cite and whether they mention you.

> LLM Pulse shows which domains and pages AI trusts in your space, whether your content gets cited, and which third-party sources are shaping the narrative about you.
> — https://llmpulse.ai/faq · FAQ, 'What are citations and why do they matter?'

> — https://llmpulse.ai/faq · FAQ, 'Can I compare my brand against competitors?'

**Brand sentiment** · Partly — Sentiment analysis is excluded from the entry Starter plan and first appears on Growth; deeper 7-dimension reputation reports sit higher again, on Scale.

> Everything in Starter, plus: Sentiment analysis
> — https://llmpulse.ai/pricing · Plan cards, Growth column feature list

**Recommendations** · Yes — It does not only report: recommendations derived from the tracked answers, plus GEO Writer, ship with the entry plan rather than a higher tier.

> Recommendations & GEO Writer
> — https://llmpulse.ai/pricing · Plan cards, Starter column 'What you get' list

**AI crawler analytics** · Partly — Agent Analytics reads server logs to identify AI bots, but the vendor scopes it to Scale plans with per-URL breakdowns reserved for Enterprise.

## Plans and signing up

**Prompt or credit allowance** · Yes — Allowances are stated per tier in tracked prompts, and a prompt counts once however many engines it runs against, which is unusual against credit metering.

> Weekly pricing starts at €49/month (about $55); the five tiers track 50 / 150 / 450 / 1,200 / 2,400 prompts (€49 (about $55) / €99 (about $111) / €299 (about $335) / €599 (about $671) / €1,199 (about $1,344)).
> — https://llmpulse.ai/llms-full.txt · Section 'Plans', third bullet

**Projects or brands** · Yes — Multiple brands are supported but capped by tier: one project on Starter, two on Growth, five on Scale, custom on Enterprise.

> For teams that need more prompts and a second brand or client.
> — https://llmpulse.ai/pricing · Plan cards, Growth description with '2 projects' counter

**Countries** · Yes — Prompts run in a configured language and locale, so visibility can be compared across markets rather than only the buyer's own country.

> Yes. Prompts run in the language and locale you configure, so you can track how AI answers differ across markets and compare your visibility by country.
> — https://llmpulse.ai/faq · FAQ, 'Can I track different countries and languages?'

**How often it checks** · Yes — Weekly is the default and daily is a separate paid plan option on every public tier, with monthly also offered; daily plans lose the free trial.

> Tracking runs weekly by default. Daily tracking is a self-serve plan option on every public tier, and monthly tracking is also available.
> — https://llmpulse.ai/faq · FAQ, 'How often is the data updated?'

**Card required to start** · Yes — The only free way in is the 14-day trial, and the vendor states a payment method is required to start it; there is no card-free standing plan.

> Eligible new customers can start a 14-day free trial on weekly Starter, Growth or Scale, with a payment method required.
> — https://llmpulse.ai/llms-full.txt · Section 'Plans', fourth bullet

**Self-serve signup** · Yes — Sign-up, trial start, plan changes and most engine add-ons are self-service; only Enterprise volume and a handful of models route through sales.

> — https://llmpulse.ai/faq · FAQ, 'Can I change my plan later?'

## Access and integrations

**API** · Partly — A documented Bearer-token REST API with SDKs and a CLI exists, but the plan cards place API access on Scale, two tiers above the €49 (about $55) entry plan.

> API, Looker Studio connector & CLI
> — https://llmpulse.ai/pricing · Plan cards, Scale column 'Everything in Growth, plus' list

**MCP server** · Yes — An MCP server is advertised on the entry Starter card and the vendor states it is free on every plan, reachable over OAuth or an API key.

> Yes, and it's free on every plan. Connect LLM Pulse to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Cursor via OAuth and query your visibility data, citations, and competitors directly from your AI assistant.
> — https://llmpulse.ai/faq · FAQ, 'Do you support MCP?'

**BI export** · Partly — CSV and Excel exports are general, but the Looker Studio connector that keeps a BI dashboard in sync is listed as a Scale-tier capability.
