SISTRIX review: pricing, features & alternatives

SISTRIX's Visibility Index, tracked weekly since 2008, is the closest thing European SEO has to a shared currency — 13 years of history on Professional tiers makes trend analysis nothing else can match locally. The AI Overview Hub extends it well: filter keywords triggering AIOs, see which URL is cited and where inside the answer box, and read complete archived AIO text in the SERP Archive, with chatbot tracking in beta.

Month-to-month contracts (no lock-in) remain a genuine trust signal, rare at this tier.

The subtle strategic risk: AI Overviews are not factored into the Visibility Index. As AIOs absorb clicks, a domain's Index can look rock-stable while real traffic falls — the KPI your client trusts structurally can't see the biggest change happening in their SERPs. Use the AIO Hub data alongside it, not the Index alone.

Value also shifted in May 2026: prices rose 20–33% (Start €99→€119, Premium €599→€799), there's still no annual discount, extra seats cost €24.90/mo, and API access starts at Professional (€419). Meanwhile the known weaknesses persist: keyword and backlink data thin out sharply outside Europe (2,305 average referring domains vs 12,000+ for leaders in EXPERTE's test), and G2 reviewers explicitly run Semrush or Ahrefs alongside it for US work.

Agencies and brands competing in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland — the Index is the language clients speak, and the AIO Hub adds real AI-era depth to it.

Global-first teams should treat SISTRIX as a regional specialist: budget a second suite for non-European markets and backlinks, and never report the Visibility Index without the AIO context beside it.

Every row below is a capability we already listed for SISTRIX. It is the published feature set for this page, not a guess at an unpublished demo. Compare it with the Promptwatch checklist that follows.

On this listing, SISTRIX is a SEO suite with AI tracking for DACH-market SEO teams where the Visibility Index is the client KPI — with a second tool for global work.. What we sourced here: AI Overview visibility in the index; Click-potential impact analysis; Deep European market data; Competitor visibility history.

If you buy SISTRIX for the job above, plan a second tool (or Promptwatch) for the layers this listing does not document. Still missing here: AI crawler logs (Agent Analytics), crawl-to-citation path, bot errors; Visitor analytics: AI-referred sessions and conversions; Content Agents that plan, write, and publish GEO pages to a CMS with a review inbox; Citation analytics at page, domain, Reddit, YouTube, and offsite level; Prompt volumes, difficulty, query fan-outs, personas, city-level geo; Prompt and citation trends (what changed between checks); ChatGPT Shopping tracking and Ads Radar; Agent Chat, Unified Actions, MCP server / REST API on paid plans. Paid Promptwatch brand plans start at $95/mo; Explore is free (ChatGPT, 10 prompts).

SISTRIX's public pages (and this listing) describe a narrower job than Promptwatch. Most rivals answer whether you were mentioned. Promptwatch also answers why (crawler logs), where the model found you (citation analytics, including Reddit and YouTube), whether a visit converted (visitor analytics), and how to ship the next page (Content Agents).

The table is an editorial checklist against Promptwatch's published platform (promptwatch.com/llms.txt, 2026-08-23). It is not a hidden feature list for this vendor. 'Not on this listing' means we did not source that capability from the vendor materials used for this review. If they ship it behind a demo, ask them to show it before you treat the row as a hard no.
