Foglift review: pricing, features & alternatives
Ranked #32Free technical audits plus token-metered monitoring across five engines, with an API, CLI and MCP server from $49.
Our verdict
Foglift is the pick if you want to start free, keep audits unlimited, and script monitoring through an API or MCP from day one. The token model is honest but it bites: daily monitoring across all five engines needs Growth, not Launch, and Gemini returns no citations. Use it for audits and a budget five-engine monitor. For crawler logs by CDN, AI-referred conversions and publishing, Promptwatch is the platform that publishes those.
Best for: Founders, in-house marketers and developer teams who want a free technical audit, a five-engine monitor and CLI or MCP access wired into CI or a coding assistant.
Foglift (foglift.io) pairs an unlimited free Technical Audit (SEO, AI readiness, performance, security, accessibility) with AI visibility monitoring across ChatGPT with web search, Perplexity, Google AI Overview, Claude and Gemini. Paid plans meter monitoring in tokens: Perplexity and Claude cost 5 tokens per prompt run, ChatGPT, Google AI Overview and Gemini cost 3.
Free is $0 with 200 tokens, weekly Perplexity monitoring, AI Crawler Analytics and one brand. Launch is $49/mo for 4,000 tokens, all five engines, daily monitoring, API access and 3 brands. Growth is $129/mo for 11,500 tokens, twice-daily monitoring, a buyer-intent Win Rate metric, sitemap scanning and a branded client portal for 10 brands. Enterprise is custom with hourly monitoring and full white-label. Overage is $9 per 500 tokens and tokens do not roll over.
Foglift is a developer-friendly way to audit and monitor on a budget. The measurement layer that Promptwatch publishes, crawler logs by CDN with a crawl-to-citation path, AI-referred conversions and CMS publishing, is not on this listing.
How the token math works
foglift.io/pricing (reviewed 2026-09-12; page states it was last updated August 27, 2026). Each prompt run costs tokens per engine: Perplexity 5, Claude 5, ChatGPT 3, Google AI Overview 3, Gemini 3. Free includes 200 tokens a month, Launch 4,000 for $49, Growth 11,500 for $129, Enterprise custom. The page's own example, 20 prompts across four engines daily, lands at roughly 8,400 tokens a month, which the calculator maps to Growth. Overage packs are $9 per 500 tokens and unused tokens expire monthly.
Non-token features never pause: unlimited Technical Audits, AI Readiness Score, content briefs, AI Crawler Analytics, audit history and PDF reports work even at zero tokens. Launch adds daily cadence, all five engines, API, 3 brands and 3 seats. Growth adds twice-daily cadence, Win Rate, sitemap scanning, a branded client portal, 10 brands and 10 seats. Enterprise adds hourly cadence, unlimited brands and full white-label.
Developer surface and the gaps
The REST API, the CLI and the MCP server are available from Launch, which is unusual at this price. Teams can run audits in CI and query visibility from Claude Code or Cursor. Foglift also publishes a Q2 2026 benchmark: across 375 buyer-intent prompts, only 1 of the 81 top-25 cited domains appeared in all five engines, a useful argument for multi-engine tracking.
The gaps are on the action side. There is no article generation or CMS publishing, only briefs. Gemini is tracked ungrounded and yields no citations. And while AI Crawler Analytics and a referral tracker exist, the listing does not document CDN integrations, a crawl-to-citation path or conversion tracking. Promptwatch publishes all of those alongside Content Agents to Webflow and Framer, so a team that outgrows Foglift's monitor has a clear next step.
