We made a list of ten content automation platforms. We asked for 2 things from each of the platforms. Did your final post make it to your site? Did the platform let you know what happened to your post afterward? In the second case, did either ChatGPT or Perplexity name your page? That's the main difference between the ten, and it's all this page matches up with.
To track means that the tool queries AI engines for the same buyer questions at a schedule and it keeps a record of mentions/references of your page. On October 18, 2026, we've read pricing page from each tool. On November 8, 2026, we've read it again.
Four tools put the engine list behind a plan. In Frase's Starter plan ($49/month) they keep an eye on ChatGPT & Google AI. Professional ($129) includes Perplexity. Scale ($299) includes Claude & Gemini. In Scalenut they watch ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews, they include Perplexity in Professional, and they limit the number of prompts to 10 / 25 / 100 depending on your plan. In NeuronWriter they count questions, 5, 7, 10 and 15 from Bronze ($23) to Platinum ($93). Powered by Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, ChatGPT & Perplexity. In AirOps they provide insight on ChatGPT in Solo only. In their Pro plan they showed 7+ answer engines in October. As of November 8 their page reads 10+ (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Grok & Gemini).
Surfer offers a stand-alone tracking option. It's an AI Search Analytics plan for $82/mo, annually. This tracks up to 50 prompts per day for ChatGPT, Gemini, and AI Overviews, and other models their pages mention. The only product of the 10 that's ours is RankControl. This can re-check up to 50 buyer questions per week on 7 engines. (That's fewer than AirOps says for the Pro option.)
Koala AI, Byword and MarketMuse don't mention tracking AI answers on their pages that we saw. With Koala, you can connect to your own search console and analytics (from their $49 professional plan). So it's showing you clicks from Google, not mention in ChatGPT. For Byword, they mention no tracking in their feature list. MarketMuse mention no tracking on their pricing page. Jasper is different. For the GEO feature they mention measuring your brand in all major AI answer engines. But they never mention which ones in their pricing page.
Two pages changed between our two reads. AirOps went from 7+ engines (in October) to 10+ on November 8th. The Scalenut Black Friday early access (annual plan): the discount on the annual plan went from 60% (in October) to 65% on November 8th. This gives their annual pricing of $21, $31, $70 (per month) (against list prices of $59, $89, $199). By November 13 it was back to 60% ($24, $36, $80). We couldn't get through one reread. We had a support article from Scalenut in October stating that you can't export AI visibility data. Then, on November 8th, we got an error when trying to check their help site again.
In any trial we'd run one test: which of last month's posts did an AI engine cite? And see who can answer it.
RankControl, an AI SEO and AEO platform, is one of the ten and comes first in the roundup, and its AI visibility tracker tracks citations across 7 AI engines. Prices, plans and publishing options for all ten are in our roundup of ten content automation platforms, and the October 18 version is on rctrl.com.
