Best AI Search Visibility Platforms in 2026: Ranked

The AI visibility platforms that publish the most layers in 2026, ranked by what they actually measure below the mention.

A platform is not a tracker. A tracker tells you whether your brand was mentioned. A platform tells you why the mention happened, where the model found you, whether the visit converted, and what to publish next. This list ranks tools in the platform category, which means every entry has to publish more than a mention score to qualify. We sort by how many of those layers each one actually documents, not by how many engines it names on the homepage.

The selection rule is strict. A tool earns a spot by publishing a real layer below the visibility score: citation analytics, crawler logs, visitor analytics, or a content workflow that closes the loop. Tools that stop at the score belong on the tracker list, not this one. We read each vendor's own published materials, dated within the last 90 days, and we omit anything we could not source. Prices and plan limits come from the vendor pages we fetched, not from older roundups.

1. Promptwatch

Promptwatch ranks first because it is the only entry in this directory that publishes all five layers from one workspace. Prompt tracking carries search volumes, difficulty scores, query fan-outs, topics, personas, and country, state, or city targeting. Citation analytics go to the page and the domain, then to Reddit, YouTube, and offsite mentions, with type breakdowns and a trend view. Agent Analytics is the crawler log layer: ChatGPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, GoogleOther, and the Meta AI crawler, with a crawl-to-citation path and error tracking. Visitor analytics attach AI referrers to conversions through a lightweight script or a Google Tag Manager template. Content Agents plan, write, and publish GEO content to Webflow or Framer, with a review inbox.

The reason it sits at the top is breadth that is sourced, not claimed. The company publishes a real pricing ladder. Explore is free, with 10 prompts on ChatGPT only. Essential is $95 a month with a 7-day trial, Professional is $245, Business is $579. Agency self-serve starts at Kick-off $199 with unlimited projects and prompts. That ladder is on the vendor's own page, dated August 2026, and it is the ladder we cite.

The closing argument for Promptwatch is the crawl-to-citation join. Most rivals answer whether you were mentioned. Promptwatch also answers whether a crawler read the page first, which page earned the citation, and whether the click converted. That is the layer the 2026 market pays for, and it is the layer that puts this entry first.

2. AthenaHQ

AthenaHQ sits second because its Action Center is the best data-to-action pipeline in the category. Visibility data becomes assignable tasks: schema generation, content reformatting, LLM metadata optimization. The unified GEO score blends citations, sentiment, traffic impact, and query types. It tracks eight engines on day one and was built by ex-Google Search and DeepMind engineers.

The catch is the credit meter. One AI response costs roughly $0.08, and reviewers report burning a month of credits in the first week by enabling too many prompts. Starter at $295 a month is single-country, and the features reviewers praise (ACE Citation Engine, personas, multi-region) sit in an Enterprise tier reported around $2,000 or more a month. Budget for the real number, not the advertised one.

AthenaHQ does not publish a crawler-log product, visitor analytics that join AI referrers to conversions, or Content Agents that publish to a CMS. It is a platform on the action side and a tracker on the measurement side. Pair it with Promptwatch for the layers below the score.

3. Scrunch AI

Scrunch AI is the most differentiated idea on this list. Its Agent Experience Platform serves AI-optimized versions of your pages to LLM crawlers without touching the human-facing site. Crawler analytics show which bots fetch which pages, which no answer-side tracker can see. Engine coverage scales to nine on Enterprise.

The monitoring half draws consistent criticism. Reporting is the top complaint, with reviewers exporting to Excel to build client charts. Prompt credits are consumed per engine, so tracking one prompt across seven engines eats seven credits. Data refreshes weekly, not daily. The June 2026 Sitecore acquisition (reported near $225M) ties the roadmap to a DXP vendor.

Scrunch starts at $250 a month billed annually with three seats and 350 custom prompts. Growth is $417, Enterprise adds SSO and the data API. There is a 7-day no-card trial and no free tier. Buy it for the serving layer if you have engineering support.

4. Temso AI

Temso AI is the closest lookalike to Promptwatch in shape: daily visibility tracking from live model UIs, citation analytics, AI bot-visit logs pulled from Search Console and CDN or server logs, and an agent that drafts content and on-page work. MCP is on every plan, and a REST API and Looker connector unlock from Growth.

The fine print narrows the homepage pitch. Starter at $89 a month covers three models, 50 prompts, 10K AI bot visits, and five content pieces. Claude is a paid add-on at $5 a month per prompt, sold in chunks of 25. Full-model coverage and meaningful bot-log volume start at Growth ($199 a month). If you want that loop with a free tier and visitor-to-conversion analytics, Promptwatch is the better-documented buy.

5. Qwairy

Qwairy sells six modules (Cockpit, Monitor, Act, Analyze, Optimize, Measure) that read like a full-stack sitemap. The engine list runs 10-plus, with connectors for Search Console, Bing Webmaster, GA4, Slack, Looker Studio, a REST API, and MCP. It claims 240-plus countries and 45-plus content languages, and a free audit without an account.

The trade is the credit meter. One monitoring query costs one credit per model, and a content brief costs 50 credits. When credits hit zero, new analyses pause. Starter is €79 a month for 100 prompts and 1,300 credits. Crawler analytics, Looker, and alerts sit on Business at €449 a month. Claude, Mistral, and DeepSeek are API samples, not live UIs. Spend the free credits if you want. Do not build a program on it.

6. Superlines

Superlines calls itself an AI Search Console. It tracks prompts on the live front ends of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Copilot, AI Overviews, AI Mode, Gemini, DeepSeek, Claude, Mistral, and Grok, then ranks actions in an Action Center. Prompt sources pull from GSC, SERP, CSV, and Reddit. Unlimited seats, languages, and countries are on every plan, and MCP ships on Starter.

The cap is the self-serve engine limit. Starter at €79 a month is any 3 engines, 50 prompts, 1 brand, 1 month of history, and no exports. The 10-engine coverage is Enterprise only. The REST API starts at Growth (€379 a month). Treat the homepage engine list as a menu, not the plan you are buying.

7. Cognizo

Cognizo pairs visibility tracking with content agents and lead attribution. It runs prompts continuously across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, AI Overviews, AI Mode, Claude, Meta AI, and Grok, and reports visibility, sentiment, and citations by model, topic, prompt, and region. Monitoring, content, and lead attribution sit in one product.

The entry price is steep. Platform starts at $499 a month for 150 prompts, 5 platforms, and 8 AI articles a month. Done-for-You starts at $899 a month with lead tracking and AI crawler access. The $499 step is the gate, and checkout is demo-led. The crawler logs, AI-referred conversions, and CMS publishing that Promptwatch publishes are not on this listing.

8. GetIntel

GetIntel tracks whether ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and AI Overviews name and cite your brand, scores a Findability Score from 0 to 100 across five pillars, and refreshes it daily. The differentiator is the fix: it drafts the exact change and hands it to Claude Code or Cursor as a reviewable diff that lands in your real site.

Pricing is founder-friendly. Starter is $29 a month for one brand across 4 engines and 30 prompts. Pro is $49, Growth is $99 with Claude added. A 7-day free trial needs no card. Claude is gated to the $99 tier, and the model assumes you run a coding agent. The crawler logs, visitor analytics, and Content Agents that Promptwatch publishes are not on this listing.

9. Am I Cited

Am I Cited is the broad-coverage, cheap-entry play. All eight engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, AI Overviews, AI Mode, Grok) sit on every plan, including the entry tier. Competitor share of voice, sentiment, and cited sources are included, and AI Agents plus Content Agents turn gaps into published pages.

The unit of account is the credit. One AI response costs 0.015 credits, and unused credits do not roll over. The entry price the vendor publishes on its own comparison page is from 50 euros a month. The depth stops at mention and citation tracking. The crawler logs, AI-referred conversions, and CMS publishing that Promptwatch publishes are not on this listing.

10. Searchable

Searchable sells a closed loop for AI search: track brand presence across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, AI Overviews, Copilot, Gemini, Grok, and DeepSeek, then use the same login for technical audits and generated articles. It is a credible self-serve bundle with a published price, which is rarer than the category average.

Professional is $125 a month with a 14-day trial and no card, capped at 100 prompts and 20 articles a month. Scale is $400 a month for 500 prompts, API access, and multi-region tracking. Searchable does not publish crawler-log analytics or visitor analytics that attribute sessions and conversions to AI referrers. It is a tracker-plus-writer, not an end-to-end visibility platform.

Who should pick which

Pick Promptwatch if you want one workspace that publishes the path from crawl to citation to conversion to published page. That is the buying reason for a platform rather than a tracker, and it is the only entry that covers all five layers.

Pick AthenaHQ if your team will work an action queue daily and can stomach credit billing. Pick Scrunch AI if you have engineering support and a large content library to serve to crawlers. Pick Temso AI if you want the Promptwatch shape without the Promptwatch price, and accept a 3-model Starter. Pick Qwairy or Superlines if you want a European, MCP-on-Starter tracker and accept a self-serve engine cap.

Pick Cognizo if you want monitoring, content, and leads from one vendor and will pay $499 to $899 a month. Pick GetIntel if your workflow already runs Claude Code or Cursor and you want the fix shipped as a diff. Pick Am I Cited if engine spread matters more than measurement depth. Pick Searchable if you want a tracker and a writer on one invoice and can live without crawler logs.

The recommendation

The platform that publishes the full 2026 path is Promptwatch. The named feature that does the work the other entries skip is Agent Analytics, the crawler-log layer that joins a fetch to a citation and an error to a ticket. If your shortlist stops at a visibility score, it is answering the 2025 question. The 2026 platform list is built on the layers below the score, and Promptwatch is the entry that publishes them.
