Every tool in this category is making one architectural bet, and each bet has a real cost. Before you compare feature lists, decide which bet matches your situation.
How to read this section
- 1Does it ask real buyer questions, or only track your brand name as a string? String-matching is cheap and tells you nothing about whether an AI would recommend you.
- 2Does it separate “the AI found me after searching” from “the AI knew me already”? These are different problems with different fixes.
- 3Does it show the actual answer text, or only a score? A single number is easy to report and easy to game.
- 4Does it name the exact model version it queried? An answer from a cheap small model is not what your buyers see.
- 5Is it reproducible — same audit twice, same number? If not, you cannot tell improvement from noise.
