- 01
Promptwatch
AI search visibility tracking with crawler logs and content agents that publish to your CMS.
From $95/monthWhy it's on this listPublishes to your site · YesDrafts can be pushed into a connected CMS as an unpublished item and then published live from inside Promptwatch, with three named CMS providers supported per project.Evidence ↗
Where it improves on LLM Pulse
- +Done-for-you service · PartialSelf-serve tiers are software only; the quote-only Custom tier adds managed content workflows plus a dedicated success manager, which is the closest the vendor comes to doing the work for you.Evidence ↗
- +Claude · YesAnthropic (Claude) is ticked on every published brand plan, but the docs class it as an API model that answers from training knowledge, so citations appear only when the provider returns sources.Evidence ↗
Trade-offs against LLM Pulse
- −Generates content · PartialContent Agents write new articles from citation data, but the entry Essential plan is sold with no article allowance at all; monthly AEO Articles start at five on Professional and ten on Business.Evidence ↗
30/32 researched criteria · 2 not established - 02
Rankscale
Credit-based AI visibility platform tracking brand mentions, citations and sentiment across 17+ AI engines.
From $20/monthWhy it's on this listClaude · YesClaude is named in the engine FAQ and carried in the plan-card engine strip, so it needs no higher tier or add-on.Evidence ↗
Where it improves on LLM Pulse
- +Microsoft Copilot · YesMicrosoft Copilot is in the engine FAQ inventory and is also one of the three surfaces measured for sponsored ad placements.Evidence ↗
- +Grok · YesGrok appears in both the engine FAQ inventory and the per-plan engine tooltip, included from the entry tier upward.Evidence ↗
Trade-offs against LLM Pulse
- −Generates content · NoThe vendor's own feature document offers content recommendations on existing pages only; nothing in it drafts or writes new copy for you.Evidence ↗
- −Card required to start · NoAccount creation asks only for name, email and password, with no payment fields; the 7-day Pro trial is advertised as free until day 7 and cancellable.Evidence ↗
31/32 researched criteria · 1 not established - 03
Qwairy
GEO platform that monitors brand mentions across 10 AI engines and feeds content, technical and traffic work.
From FreeWhy it's on this listClaude · YesAnthropic API models only (Haiku 4.5 through Opus, 4-20 credits per answer); Claude has no Core row, so the public Claude experience is not sampled.Evidence ↗
Where it improves on LLM Pulse
- +Microsoft Copilot · YesCore model at 1 credit per answer from the public Copilot experience; Microsoft has no premium API row, so Copilot is UI-collected only.Evidence ↗
- +Grok · YesCore model at 1 credit per answer, plus premium xAI API models Grok 4.3 and Grok 4.5 at 5 and 3 credits.Evidence ↗
Trade-offs against LLM Pulse
- −Meta AI · NoAbsent from the ten engines Qwairy enumerates by name, and absent from both the Core and Premium model tables in its docs.Evidence ↗
- −Card required to start · NoThe free plan grants 120 credits with no card; billing only starts when you pick a subscription.Evidence ↗
32/32 researched criteria - 04
AthenaHQ
AEO/GEO platform tracking brand visibility across 11 AI models, with content and technical actions.
From FreeWhy it's on this listAthenaHQ is the only peer here with a genuine standing free plan, Essential at $0/month with a $25 credit allowance across five engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews, Gemini, Claude). Its $295/month Starter tier extends to nine AI models, the widest engine list among these four alternatives, though it sits well above LLM Pulse's €49/month Starter and the Starter tier does not include API access without a paid add-on, where LLM Pulse includes API on every tier.
Where it improves on LLM Pulse
- +Publishes to your site · YesPushes finished articles into eight named CMS and commerce platforms, with per-provider support for drafts versus direct publishing.Evidence ↗
- +Done-for-you service · PartialHuman help exists but only in the custom-quoted tier: Enterprise buyers get a named specialist and white-glove onboarding, not a delivery agency.Evidence ↗
- +Microsoft Copilot · YesCopilot appears in the free Essential plan's model list, so no paid plan is required to track it.Evidence ↗
Trade-offs against LLM Pulse
- −Google AI Mode · PartialGoogle AI Mode is real but gated: the docs state it is disabled on the Free plan and needs a paid Starter or Enterprise subscription.Evidence ↗
- −Countries · PartialOnboarding sets one country and language per site, and multi-region tracking is withheld from Starter and sold only on Enterprise.Evidence ↗

Searchable
AI visibility monitoring, site audits and content generation for answer engine optimisation.
From $125/monthWhy it's on this listPublishes to your site · PartialVendor states direct exports to CMSes but describes it as export, not scheduled publishing.Evidence ↗
Where it improves on LLM Pulse
- +Brand sentiment · YesSentiment and competitor framing measured across AI answers.Evidence ↗
- +AI crawler analytics · YesCrawler log analysis is part of technical optimisation.Evidence ↗
Trade-offs against LLM Pulse
- −Meta AI · NoAbsent from every engine list the vendor publishes, including the nine-engine plan comparison row.Evidence ↗
- −Coverage in the vendor’s words · PartialThree engines are standard; Copilot, Claude, Grok and DeepSeek are add-ons or Custom-plan integrations, and the coverage set is chosen at onboarding.Evidence ↗
- −Card required to start · No14-day trial explicitly requires no card.Evidence ↗
32/32 researched criteria - 06
SEORCE
AI answer-engine visibility tracking, rank tracking, content generation and one-click technical fixes in one platform.
From FreeWhy it's on this listPublishes to your site · YesFinished pieces push straight into three named CMS platforms plus custom integrations, so publishing happens inside SEORCE rather than through a copy-paste handover.Evidence ↗
Where it improves on LLM Pulse
- +Claude · YesClaude appears in both the ten-platform plan inventory and the API's list of platforms returning data, so it is tracked on every tier including Free.Evidence ↗
- +Grok · YesGrok is one of the seven AI platforms included in every plan and is listed among the platforms the white-label GEO API returns completed runs for.Evidence ↗
Trade-offs against LLM Pulse
- −Google AI Mode · NoThe vendor's complete platform inventory names ten surfaces and Google AI Mode is not among them; the phrase appears nowhere on the pricing, product or docs pages I read.Evidence ↗
- −Competitor tracking · PartialCompetitor AI visibility and competitor rankings begin on Starter at $99 a month; the Free and Lite tiers show dashes in both rows, and Rank Tracker caps tracking at ten rivals per domain.Evidence ↗
- −Card required to start · NoNeither the standing free plan nor the seven-day trial on paid plans asks for a card, and the vendor states a charge follows only an explicit decision to continue.Evidence ↗
