How AI Mention Score compares

Details checked on each company's own site, October 15, 2026

Most AI visibility tools are built for brands and marketing teams tracking prompts they choose. AI Mention Score is built for local businesses in any city: it writes the questions your customers ask, checks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, has a free-forever plan, and on Pro writes the pages for questions you're losing. BrightLocal is the closest alternative.

What we do

You enter your website. We work out your trade and city, ask around 48 buyer questions in four assistants, and email you a report: your score, who was named instead and your first fix. Free re-checks monthly. Starter ($29 a month) checks weekly with the full fix plan. Pro ($49 a month) adds competitor tracking, your own questions and up to 5 written pages a month. Prices are in US dollars.

What we don't do: we don't track Google AI Overviews, AI Mode or Copilot, and we don't have a multi-location dashboard. If those matter most, one of the tools below may suit you better.

AI Mention Score vs Otterly.AI

Who it's for: Marketing teams, SEO and content teams, agencies and small businesses tracking how a brand shows up in AI search.
What it tracks: ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Microsoft Copilot on every plan, with Google AI Mode, Gemini and Claude as paid add-ons. Covers 50+ countries.
Price, from their site: Lite plan listed at $29 a month. A free trial is offered.
Where we differ: Otterly tracks prompts you choose for a brand. We start from your website, write around 48 buyer questions for your trade and city, and include Claude and Gemini on the free plan.

AI Mention Score vs Peec AI

Who it's for: Marketing teams, brands and agencies, with separate enterprise and agency offers.
What it tracks: Brand visibility, position and sentiment in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and others, with regions, languages and a Local GEO feature listed.
Price, from their site: Plans are named on the pricing page but we couldn't see amounts, so we don't quote one. The site offers a free trial.
Where we differ: Peec is built around brands and competitor benchmarks. We're built for one local business in one city, and the report is written for an owner rather than a marketing team.

AI Mention Score vs Profound

Who it's for: Brand, content and PR teams, agencies and enterprises, with enterprise security features listed.
What it tracks: Seven engines on its homepage, among them ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, DeepSeek and Google AI Overviews, and up to 9 on Enterprise.
Price, from their site: A free 7-day trial is listed. Enterprise pricing is custom, and we couldn't see a listed price for the self-serve plans.
Where we differ: Profound is an enterprise platform with many engines and content tools. We cover four assistants for local businesses, with a free plan and pages written for you on Pro.

AI Mention Score vs Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit

Who it's for: SMBs, agencies and mid-market SEO and marketing teams, usually alongside the rest of Semrush.
What it tracks: A visibility score, prompt research and daily prompt tracking, with location targeting down to city level.
Price, from their site: The knowledge base lists the standalone toolkit at $99 a month, and says there's no free trial for it.
Where we differ: Semrush suits teams already doing SEO in Semrush. We're a single check for a local owner: no keyword setup, a free monthly plan, and the fixes written out.

Common questions

Which AI visibility tool is best for a local business?

It depends on what you already use. If you run local SEO in BrightLocal, its tracker sits next to your rankings and citations. If you want a free check of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity for your trade and city, with the fixes written out, that's what we built.

Is AI Mention Score free?

There's a free-forever plan: all four assistants, checked monthly, with your first fix in full. Starter and Pro are paid plans, priced in US dollars.

Does AI Mention Score track Google AI Overviews or Copilot?

No. We ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity. Several of the tools above track AI Overviews, AI Mode or Copilot, which is a reason to pick them if those matter most to you.

Do these tools work outside the US?

Several list country or location settings on their sites. Ours works in any city worldwide, with questions in English.

How did you check these details?

We read each company's own website and pricing page on October 15, 2026. Where a price wasn't shown, we left it out. Prices and features change, so check their sites before you decide.
