Ordered by the requirements met, strengths preserved, explicit trade-offs and research coverage. Sponsorship does not enter the order.
- 01
Rank Prompt
AI visibility platform: prompt monitoring across six answer engines, plus content, citation outreach and site audits.
From FreeWhy it's on this listPrompt or credit allowance · YesOne credit buys one prompt across the four bundled engines; plans carry 150, 500, 1,000 and 2,000 credits a month and credits do not roll over.Evidence ↗
Where it improves on SEOmatic
- +Projects or brands · YesSeveral: the Brands row runs 10 on Starter, 100 on Pro, 500 on Agency and 1,000 on Agency Plus.Evidence ↗
- +API · YesPublic REST /v1 included from the cheapest paid tier upward with per-tier request caps; standalone API-only plans also exist.Evidence ↗
Trade-offs against SEOmatic
- −Gemini · PartialReal but metered as an add-on engine: available on any plan, at one extra credit per prompt rather than inside the bundle.Evidence ↗
- −Microsoft Copilot · NoAbsent from the closed six-platform monitoring list; Copilot appears only in GA4 referral-traffic detection, which measures human visits rather than answers.Evidence ↗
- −Grok · PartialSame add-on metering as Gemini: labelled "Add-on engine" and charged one extra credit per prompt.Evidence ↗
32/32 researched criteria - 02
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.Evidence ↗
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.Evidence ↗
- +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.Evidence ↗
Trade-offs against SEOmatic
- −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 ↗
- −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 ↗
- −AI crawler analytics · PartialCrawler 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.Evidence ↗
30/32 researched criteria · 2 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 listDeepSeek · PartialPremium API models DeepSeek V4 Flash and V4 Pro at 2 credits, but they run without web search, so answers carry no live citations; there is no DeepSeek Core row.Evidence ↗
Where it improves on SEOmatic
- +Prompt or credit allowance · YesStarter 100 prompts and 1,300 credits per month, Growth 300 and 3,900, Business 800 and 10,400, Enterprise unlimited prompts with custom credits; one Core answer costs 1 credit and unused credits roll over.Evidence ↗
- +Projects or brands · YesSeveral brands per account: 1 workspace on Starter, 5 on Growth, 20 on Business, unlimited on Enterprise, each with its own brands, competitors and prompts.Evidence ↗
Trade-offs against SEOmatic
- −Publishes to your site · NoNo CMS connector exists; API v1 exposes Content Studio articles read-only for you to syndicate, and the article's finalUrl field is the published URL you set yourself.Evidence ↗
- −Done-for-you service · NoQwairy sells the tooling, not the delivery: agencies run their own GEO retainers on it, and the agency plans are white-label platform seats rather than a managed service.Evidence ↗
- −AI crawler analytics · PartialBusiness and Enterprise only. Classifies 13 published AI user agents from server or CDN logs via nine collectors, keeping bounded daily aggregates for 30 analytic days.Evidence ↗
32/32 researched criteria - 04
Rankshift
Credit-metered AI visibility, citation and crawler tracking with unlimited projects and seats.
From €77/monthWhy 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.Evidence ↗
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.Evidence ↗
- +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.Evidence ↗
Trade-offs against SEOmatic
- −Publishes to your site · NoThe enumerated integrations are reporting destinations only, and the content flow ends with the user publishing.Evidence ↗
- −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.Evidence ↗
- −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.Evidence ↗
31/32 researched criteria · 1 not established - 05
Cognizo
AEO platform tracking brand visibility in AI answers, with content generation and auto-publishing.
From $499/monthWhy it's on this listDeepSeek · PartialDeepSeek appears only under the custom-quoted Enterprise tier's platform list, not in the self-serve selection.Evidence ↗
Where it improves on SEOmatic
- +Meta AI · PartialMeta AI is shown in the Enterprise platform list only; Growth and Pro pick from six engines that exclude it.Evidence ↗
- +Prompt or credit allowance · YesEntry Growth tier tracks 150 prompts and 22,500 analysed responses a month; Pro doubles that to 350 prompts.Evidence ↗
Trade-offs against SEOmatic
- −Done-for-you service · PartialThe work is done by agents in-product; human managed services and a dedicated strategist are marked as Enterprise-only additions.Evidence ↗
- −Google AI Mode · PartialGoogle AI Mode is named in the FAQ engine list but only appears in the Enterprise column of the platform comparison.Evidence ↗
- −Claude · PartialClaude is absent from the six platforms Growth and Pro can choose and shows only in the Enterprise platform list.Evidence ↗
31/32 researched criteria · 1 not established - 06
AEOlens
AEO/GEO platform: 48-check site audit, ranked code fixes and weekly buyer-question tracking across AI engines.
From FreeWhy it's on this listPrompt or credit allowance · YesVolume is metered in tracked questions per plan — 25 on Solo, 100 on Growth — with the Agency page quoting 40 buyer simulations a month instead.Evidence ↗
Trade-offs against SEOmatic
- −Publishes to your site · PartialPushing an article to a CMS is a Growth-tier capability; the comparison table marks CMS publishing with a dash on the cheaper Solo plan.Evidence ↗
- −Done-for-you service · NoThe Agency tier is white-label software an agency operates itself and resells; the vendor supplies tooling and onboarding, not people who do the optimisation work.Evidence ↗
- −Microsoft Copilot · NoCopilot is never asked a question: the vendor names the five models it checks against and places Microsoft Copilot/Bing under crawler observability, meaning bot-visit logging only.Evidence ↗
