When someone asks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Perplexity for “the best [your category]”, are you in the answer? These tools track that. Most start between $29 and $99 a month and hand you a score; Glotier is the best value on this list, a full growth system of agents that acts on the answer, free to start and paid from $9.99. Full disclosure: we make it, so we put it first, but we’ll be straight about who each other tool is really for.
Every tool here tracks AI search; the columns show the other channels each adds, plus the entry price. Coverage and prices verified 2026-07-17. Competitor pricing reflects their public plans and can change, so check the live page before deciding.

Glotier
Free to start
Asks ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity your buyers’ real questions as live web queries, records which of the three named you, and shows every source page each answer was built from, which is where a rival is present and you are not. It is the only tool here that also runs the agents that act on that answer, a Citation Agent, a Reddit agent, an X agent and a daily article, and publishes the measurements behind its own claims. It starts free with no card, and paid plans run from $9.99, with the full agent set at $39, still below where most of this list begins. The best value here.
The Citation Agent: which of your pages an assistant can actually cite, and the fix for each
A paragraph-quality read of your pages: what an assistant can lift whole, and where a claim is missing its source
An X agent and a Reddit agent: the live threads worth answering in your category, with a reply drafted for each
A daily check, and an article written from what it measured that day, ready to publish
The same buyer questions re-asked every day, with every source page behind each answer

Of 259 domains AI cited in the AI visibility category on 31 July 2026, 235 allowed every AI crawler.
18 of 244 of those sites block GPTBot but allow OAI-SearchBot, leaving ChatGPT search while opting out of training.
Only 5 of 259 cited domains block an AI search crawler by name, and all four are large publishers.
Sample: every domain an assistant actually cited across our own checks, not a top-100 list. Blocked means a whole-site disallow for the matching group, so partial rules are not counted and these figures understate blocking. 0 domain did not answer and is excluded rather than counted as open.
