Candidates share the baseline category or are previously researched peers. Requirements, preserved strengths, explicit trade-offs and research coverage decide the order; paid tier does not.

## Shortlist

### 1. Promptwatch

AI search visibility tracking with crawler logs and content agents that publish to your CMS.

**Research coverage:** 30/32 criteria

**Where it improves on Trakkr:**
- [Done-for-you service: partial — Self-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.](https://promptwatch.com/pricing)
- [Google AI Mode: yes — Google AI Mode is listed as its own model row alongside AI Overviews in the plan table and appears in the documented live-search group, so it is tracked separately from classic Gemini.](https://promptwatch.com/pricing)
- [Microsoft Copilot: yes — Copilot is named in the documented registry of live-search platforms, although it is not one of the model rows printed on the public plan comparison table.](https://promptwatch.com/docs/academy/choosing-your-models)

**Trade-offs against Trakkr:**
- [Generates content: partial — Content 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.](https://promptwatch.com/pricing)
- [AI crawler analytics: partial — Crawler 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.](https://promptwatch.com/features/agent-analytics)

- [Microsoft Copilot: yes — Microsoft 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.](https://www.rankshift.ai/ai-citation-tracking/)
- [Projects or brands: yes — Every 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.](https://www.rankshift.ai/prompt-tracking/)

- [Grok: no — Grok 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.](https://www.rankshift.ai/prompt-tracking/)
