How we rank the tools.
One published rubric, points only for sourced facts, and nothing scored on a hunch.
Who qualifies
A tool must publish enough plan detail to score. 20 tools qualify today.
The criteria
| Criterion | Points |
|---|---|
| AI engines on the entry plan | 30 |
| What it does beyond counting mentions (citations, competitors, fixes, crawler data, reports, exports, API and MCP) | 35 |
| A public price you can buy without a sales call, and a free trial | 15 |
| Daily checks on the entry plan | 10 |
| Entry price | 10 |
Engines count up to ten. Features score a full point when included, half a point when they need a higher plan or an add-on, and nothing when they are missing or not public. Here the features are citation tracking, competitor tracking, page-level fixes, AI crawler data, Reddit or community monitoring, shareable reports, data exports, MCP access, an API, agency support. Daily checks score in full and weekly checks half. Entry prices score highest at $50 or less a month and lowest for custom quotes.
Sources and dates
Every fact comes from the vendor’s own pricing, product or documentation pages, checked by hand. The dataset was last checked on 5 October 2026. When a vendor changes its pricing, the scores change with it.
Data and connections
This site uses data from Trakkr, which is one of the tools ranked. The rubric rewards breadth and depth because that is what most teams need, and the same rules apply to every tool. If a fact is wrong, the vendor’s own page wins and we fix it.
