Glotier tells you whether ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity name your product when buyers ask what to use in your category. It puts your buyers' real questions to all three as live web queries, records whether you were named and by which of them, which competitors were named instead, and which pages each answer was built from.

How does Glotier check AI visibility?

It runs one live web search per question. ChatGPT and Gemini read the identical results, and Perplexity runs its own retrieval because it does not accept results handed to it. Whether your product is named is decided by a literal presence check on the answer text rather than by asking a model for its opinion, so the number cannot be inflated by a model being agreeable. You can also connect your own ChatGPT or Claude key and have the questions run through your account instead.

Why ask three assistants instead of one?

Because they disagree. In our own study, across the 39 of 40 buying questions where all three answered, all three named the same product only 30% of the time and 47% of products were named by exactly one assistant. Checking a single assistant shows you 58% to 65% of the products named across the three, so a founder who checks ChatGPT, sees their name and relaxes has measured one engine on one phrasing.

Is Glotier free to use?

The check is free with no signup. Paid plans start at $9.99 a month (Fast, one product), then Solo at $39, Studio at $99 and Agency at $249. Every paid plan covers the daily check and the content the agent writes.

Does Glotier make up data about my product?

No. Every result comes from observed data: the live search results, the answers the assistants actually returned, and the sources they cited. It does not invent metrics, ratings or engine claims, and when a measurement has not run it says so rather than printing a zero.

Anyone selling something buyers research before choosing, where the category has enough alternatives that an assistant has to pick a shortlist: software, tools, e-commerce, and services. Founders, marketers and agencies all use it, and the work is the same at any size. It is not useful for local or in-person businesses, where maps and reviews decide the outcome instead.

What this analysis is

We read 150 recent reviews of Royal Match on Google Play, 102 positive and 42 negative, to find what players actually praise and complain about. Every percentage below is counted from those real reviews; the ratings and install range are the stores’ own public figures. We never invent downloads or revenue, those aren’t public, so we don’t pretend to know them. Here’s what makes Royal Match work, and where it doesn’t.

Why Royal Match is so successful

Consistently the #1 US top-grossing Puzzle game on the App Store chart, an observed ranking, not an estimated revenue figure. A Match-3 Puzzle game by Dream Games, Ltd., released February 2021, it holds 14.3M+ ratings across both stores with a few things players consistently single out:

Top-grossing puzzle title in the US without relying on ads
High rating (4.636) with over 10 million reviews praising fun gameplay and relaxing experience
Appeals to casual players with easy-to-play match-3 mechanics and nice graphics

The core loop

Players complete match-3 levels to progress through a storyline, unlocking new boards and upgrades as they go. The loop involves solving puzzles to earn rewards and advance in the game.

What keeps players coming back

↳Lives/hearts system, a soft energy gate (regenerate over time or refill) that paces sessions and creates return visits.
↳Royal Pass, a recurring (roughly weekly) battle pass with a free and a premium track.
↳Events & leaderboards, Royal League-style competitive ladders, area-completion goals, and team chests.
↳Daily bonuses & the Piggy Bank, coins accumulate as you play, unlocked by a purchase: a classic conversion mechanic.

How studios like Dream Games, Ltd. actually operate

A hit like Royal Match isn’t luck, it’s a repeatable playbook. The techniques big mobile studios use:

ASO (App Store Optimization)

Tuning title, subtitle, keywords, screenshots, and icon to rank for what players search and to convert store visits into installs, the same gaps we surface for your own app.

LiveOps & events

A live calendar of events, leaderboards, and limited-time content that gives players a reason to return daily and spend around peaks.

Battle passes & sinks

Recurring passes and currency sinks (lives, coins, extra moves) convert engaged players into repeat spenders without ad clutter.

A/B testing everything

Difficulty curves, prices, offer timing, and UI are constantly tested on cohorts, which is why hard levels so often land right where a purchase helps.

Why you can trust these numbers

Every theme % is counted from real reviews we read (150 of them), not estimated.
Ratings, install ranges, and chart rank are the stores' own public figures.
We never show fabricated downloads or revenue. Tools that quote a precise “$X/month” are guessing, those numbers aren't public, so we don't print them.

The verdict

Royal Match has achieved popularity with a high rating (4.636) and over 10 million reviews, driven by its match-3 gameplay and lack of ads. However, it faces criticism from players who feel misled by false advertising, frustrated by pay-to-win mechanics, or stuck due to hard progression. The game's success in the US market without ads is notable, but monetization and difficulty issues are clear pain points.
