Answer engines
- ChatGPT
- YesChatGPT heads the vendor's list of the eight engines tracked, and the plans table shows the same LLM row on Free, Pro and Custom.
We currently track the eight most popular AI search engines: ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Claude, Grok, Mistral, and Llama.
mangools.com/ai-search-watcher - Perplexity
- NoPerplexity is absent from the vendor's explicit, closed inventory of the eight engines tracked, and no tier adds it; the LLM row is identical on every plan.

mangools.com/ai-search-watcher - Google AI Mode

mangools.com/ai-search-watcher - Microsoft Copilot
- NoMicrosoft Copilot is missing from the vendor's complete eight-engine list, and no plan column or add-on on the pricing page restores it.

mangools.com/ai-search-watcher - Meta AI
- PartlyThe inventory names Llama, Meta's model, rather than the Meta AI assistant surface, so Meta's model answers are queried but the consumer assistant is never claimed.

mangools.com/ai-search-watcher - Brand sentiment
- PartlyVendor promises a view of how models describe the brand, but publishes no sentiment score or named attribute set, so the depth of that reporting is unstated.
See how LLMs describe and interpret your brand. Uncover gaps, misperceptions, and opportunities to influence how AI explains your business to users.
mangools.com/ai-search-watcher - Recommendations
- NoIt reports positions, visibility scores and citations; deciding what to change is explicitly left to the buyer's own content and GEO strategy.
By showing you where and how your brand appears in AI answers, you can adjust your content and GEO strategy to get cited more often ahead of your…
mangools.com/ai-search-watcher - Wrong answers about you
