What it does
- Monitors AI answers
- YesCore purpose: it runs your prompts on a schedule across the major answer engines and records whether each answer mentions or cites the brand, rather than relying on manual spot checks.

rankshift.ai/ai-visibility-tracking - Optimises your content
- YesIt names specific existing pages and what to do with them, for example refreshing a pricing page that engines cite often but that is years old, rather than only scoring them.
Rankshift's Action Center turns citation data into recommendations: update this page, pitch this publication, get listed in this comparison article.
rankshift.ai/ai-citation-tracking - Generates content
- YesAn AI content writer is listed as included on every self-serve plan, drafting new articles from the vendor's own analysis of LLM responses and citations.

rankshift.ai/prompt-tracking - Publishes to your site

rankshift.ai/prompt-tracking - Done-for-you service
- NoThe agency offering is a partner programme for agencies that run the tool themselves on client workspaces, with pitch projects and training, not a done-for-you service delivered by Rankshift staff.

- ChatGPT
- YesChatGPT heads the vendor's engine inventory and the credit calculator prices a ChatGPT run at two credits, so it is available on every self-serve plan.
ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Microsoft Copilot, Mistral, and Meta AI. You can track all of them or only…
rankshift.ai/ai-visibility-tracking - Perplexity

rankshift.ai/ai-visibility-tracking - Google AI Overviews

rankshift.ai/ai-visibility-tracking - Google AI Mode
- YesGoogle AI Mode is named as a distinct tracked platform alongside AI Overviews, and the credit calculator offers it as a selectable engine at two credits per run.

rankshift.ai/ai-citation-tracking - Claude
- YesClaude is tracked on every plan, but the published calculator charges five credits per run against two for most engines, so it drains a credit pool faster.
ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Microsoft Copilot, Mistral, and Meta AI.
rankshift.ai/ai-visibility-tracking - Microsoft Copilot
- YesMicrosoft Copilot is covered and, like Claude, is one of the two engines the vendor's calculator prices at five credits per run instead of two.
ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Mistral, and Meta AI.
rankshift.ai/ai-citation-tracking - Grok

rankshift.ai/prompt-tracking - Meta AI

rankshift.ai/ai-visibility-tracking - Coverage in the vendor’s words
- YesNine engines are published, with no per-tier engine restriction: every plan says 'Track all LLMs', and the limit is credits rather than coverage, with Claude and Copilot costing five credits a run instead of two.

rankshift.ai/prompt-tracking
What it reports
- Names the cited sources
- YesIt records the exact cited URL rather than only the domain, with the prompt, model and date, plus first-seen, last-seen and citation-stability history for each source.
Rankshift logs every URL they cite for the prompts you care about, shows you where your own pages land, and turns the gaps into a list of pages to…
rankshift.ai/ai-citation-tracking - Competitor tracking
- YesNamed competitors are benchmarked on every tracked prompt for visibility, share of voice and sentiment, and you can filter to sources that cite them but not you.
Yes. Add the competitors you care about and Rankshift benchmarks your visibility, share of voice, and sentiment against theirs on every prompt.
rankshift.ai/ai-visibility-tracking - Brand sentiment
- YesA dedicated Brand Perception module groups positive and negative themes per AI model and lets you drill into the underlying responses, on top of a numeric sentiment score from -10 to +10.

rankshift.featurebase.app/en/help/artic… - Recommendations
- YesFindings are issued as prioritised, assignable tasks on a board tied to specific pages and publications, so it goes past reporting into a work queue the team can clear.
When something needs attention, it turns up as a concrete task, not a vague red number.
rankshift.ai/ai-visibility-tracking - AI crawler analytics
- YesCrawler analytics is listed on all three self-serve plans and reports which AI bots hit which pages, how often, and with what errors, in real time.
Track when AI models crawl your website, which pages are cited most often, and when your content is used for training in real time.
rankshift.ai/prompt-tracking - Wrong answers about you
- PartlyIt surfaces negative themes per model and the reasoning behind them, but the vendor's own workflow puts the judgement of what is false on the user rather than flagging factual errors itself.
Identify which negative themes are incorrect or outdated

Plans and signing up

- YesEach plan states both a daily prompt ceiling and a monthly credit pool: Starter 150 prompts/day and 9,500 credits, Professional 350 and 22,000, Business 850 and 53,000, with runs costing two to five credits per engine.rankshift.ai/pricing

- YesCadence is set per prompt and drives credit burn: the plan rows promise daily or weekly refresh, while the calculator sells frequencies from once weekly up to daily.

Access and integrations
- API
- YesA REST API with per-project bearer tokens is listed on all three self-serve plans, though the citation page instead says API access starts on Professional, so the entry tier is contradicted.
