Rank Prompt
AI visibility platform that tracks brand mentions and citations across six answer engines, with content and audits.
From FreeWhy it's on this listPrompt or credit allowance · YesPlans buy monthly credits rather than fixed prompts: 150 on Starter up to 2,000 on Agency Plus, shared with articles and audits.Source ↗
Where it improves on SEOmatic
Trade-offs against SEOmatic
- −Done-for-you service · PartlyBeyond the software the vendor sells a separate done-for-you GEO engagement, quoted from $2,500 a month, where its people write and place the content.Source ↗
- −Microsoft Copilot · NoMicrosoft Copilot is absent from the vendor's complete six-engine inventory, which it states as the full set it tracks on every plan.Source ↗
- −AI crawler analytics · NoTraffic analytics classify AI referral sessions, not bot visits; the vendor states it does not read user agents, and the crawler work is a robots.txt directive check.Source ↗
- 02
Conductor
Enterprise AEO platform: AI visibility tracking, content generation, 24/7 site monitoring and API/MCP access.
Why it's on this listPrompt or credit allowance · YesAllowances are annual AI Search Credits, 2,500 per year on both Essentials and Growth, and credits are consumed per AI response at engine-specific rates rather than per prompt.Source ↗
Where it improves on SEOmatic
- +Projects or brands · YesSeveral websites and brands fit in one account, capped at 3 tracked websites on Essentials and 5 on Growth, with brands configured per web property.Source ↗
- +Card required to start · NoThe trial sign-up page states plainly that no card is needed, and the three product trials each start from a self-serve form rather than a payment step.Source ↗
Trade-offs against SEOmatic
- −Publishes to your site · NoDrafts leave Conductor as a downloaded .docx brief; the CMS integrations surface recommendations inside Drupal and trigger audits in WordPress rather than pushing content live.Source ↗
- −AI crawler analytics · PartlyAI bot crawl reporting requires ingesting your server or CDN logs, and the plan table marks Log File Analysis merely Available on Essentials and Growth while only Enterprise has it included.Source ↗
- −Wrong answers about you · PartlyThere is no dedicated false-claim detector; the vendor positions incorrect AI answers as something you spot through full response exports, sentiment statements and their sources.Source ↗
- 03
Promptwatch
AI search visibility tracking with crawler logs and content agents that publish to your CMS.
From $95/monthWhy it's on this listDeepSeek · YesDeepSeek is a listed model row ticked from the Essential plan upward, and the docs place it among API models whose answers reflect training knowledge rather than today's search results.Source ↗
Where it improves on SEOmatic
- +Meta AI · YesMeta coverage is sold as the Llama model rather than the Meta AI assistant surface: the row reads Facebook (Meta) Llama and is ticked on all three published brand plans.Source ↗
- +Prompt or credit allowance · YesAllowances are published per plan in prompts and collected responses: the entry Essential plan carries 50 prompts and 6,000 responses a month, with responses the metered quota.Source ↗
Trade-offs against SEOmatic
- −Generates content · PartlyContent 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.Source ↗
- −Done-for-you service · PartlySelf-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.Source ↗
- −AI crawler analytics · PartlyCrawler log ingestion and Agent Analytics are real but gated: the Crawler Logs row is crossed out on the entry Essential plan and starts at 25M log lines on Professional.Source ↗
- 04
Rankshift
Credit-metered AI visibility, citation and crawler tracking with unlimited projects and seats.
From €77/month (about $86)Why it's on this listMeta AI · YesMeta AI closes the nine-engine inventory at two credits per run; the plan tooltips call the same engine 'Llama (Meta)', so naming differs between pages.Source ↗
Where it improves on SEOmatic
- +Prompt or credit allowance · 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.Source ↗
- +Projects or brands · YesEvery plan carries unlimited projects and unlimited seats, with credits rather than brand count as the constraint, and agencies get unlimited pitch projects of 1,000 credits each.Source ↗
Trade-offs against SEOmatic
- −Publishes to your site · NoThe enumerated integrations are reporting destinations only, and the content flow ends with the user publishing.Source ↗
- −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.Source ↗
- −Grok · NoGrok is absent from every engine inventory the vendor publishes, including this enumerated FAQ answer, the calculator's complete model selector and both feature-page lists.Source ↗
- 05
Cognizo
AEO platform tracking brand visibility in AI answers, with content generation and auto-publishing.
From $499/monthWhy it's on this listDeepSeek · PartlyDeepSeek appears only under the custom-quoted Enterprise tier's platform list, not in the self-serve selection.Source ↗
Where it improves on SEOmatic
Trade-offs against SEOmatic
- −Done-for-you service · PartlyThe work is done by agents in-product; human managed services and a dedicated strategist are marked as Enterprise-only additions.Source ↗
- −Google AI Mode · PartlyGoogle AI Mode is named in the FAQ engine list but only appears in the Enterprise column of the platform comparison.Source ↗
- −Claude · PartlyClaude is absent from the six platforms Growth and Pro can choose and shows only in the Enterprise platform list.Source ↗
- 06
Dageno
AI answer monitoring and market intelligence across seven AI platforms, with citation and competitor evidence.
From FreeWhy it's on this listDeepSeek · PartlyA DeepSeek monitoring page describes the same evidence workflow as the supported models, yet DeepSeek is absent from the seven platforms the pricing page attaches to paid plans and from the ten-entry model directory.Source ↗
Where it improves on SEOmatic
- +Prompt or credit allowance · YesPlans meter tracked prompts, from 50 on Starter to 250 on Growth and 600 on Scale, and the same prompt counts again for each extra platform or region you point it at.Source ↗
- +Projects or brands · YesSeveral brands are possible but only on the upper plans: Starter holds one brand or project, Growth two, Scale five, and anything beyond that is quoted.Source ↗
Trade-offs against SEOmatic
- −Publishes to your site · NoDageno states its own data connections change nothing on your site, and no CMS connector is documented anywhere; only the human managed-service team publishes, and then to Reddit, media and directories rather than your CMS.Source ↗
- −Claude · PartlyDageno's FAQ and a dedicated Claude page claim Claude monitoring, but the current pricing page enumerates seven standard platforms and Claude is not one of them, so coverage on a published self-serve plan is not confirmed.Source ↗
- −Recommendations · PartlyDageno does prescribe changes rather than only reporting, but the issues-and-opportunities surface that carries those recommendations is withheld from Starter and begins on the Growth plan.Source ↗
What to watch for
- Rank PromptReviewers describe a steep initial learning curve, with the dashboard and prompt-level mapping described as overwhelming at first.
- ConductorConductor does not publish a rate card for Essentials, Growth, or Enterprise. The $26,800 to $500,000+ per year range and $48,950 median cited here come from Vendr's aggregated real-world contract data as reported by an independent reviewer (tryanalyze.ai), not from Conductor's own site. Treat it as a reported range rather than an official price.
- PromptwatchEssential plan is capped at 50 tracked prompts and 1 website, which is thin for brands with multiple product lines.
- CognizoNo published pricing tier lets a buyer pay and start immediately. Every option, including the two with fixed prices, routes through a demo call.
