In AI search, inclusion replaces rank.
In an AI answer your brand is either mentioned or invisible — and a #1 Google ranking no longer guarantees you are in the answer at all. CompareNow.ai helps you close that gap: measure where you stand, earn the citations engines actually use, and choose the tool, agency, or consultant to get it done.
How we score — drawn to scale
Every ranking is editorial, computed from a published five-criterion rubric scored from source-linked research. No pay-for-position; affiliate links are disclosed.
The 4-step GEO playbook
Each step is governed by one piece of published research — and ends in the exact resource on this site that helps you run it.
31.8%of ChatGPT's cited domains overlap with Google's top ten (just 10% at the exact URL).
84%of AI-cited links are earned media; paid/advertorial is 0.3%. Your own site supplies only 4.3% of category-prompt citations.
12.6% → 4.5%citation incidence peaks at conversation turn 1 and decays by turn 10.
Identical prompts return different answers between runs — track trends over repeated runs, not single samples.
Where AI engines actually get their answers
What you invest in to get cited — from the largest published studies of AI citations. Each figure names its source.
* Own-site share is a separate Profound study, measured on category-level prompts (27M citations).
Tool, agency, or consultant?
The deciding factor is simple: who will act on the work. Answer three questions for a recommended model, a real ranked shortlist, and the comparison that settles it.
- A GEO tool if you have execution capacity and want to own the data.
- A GEO consultant if your team needs direction, not hands.
- A GEO agency if nobody in-house owns AI visibility.
You have execution capacity in-house — buy the data and run it yourself. From $29–295/mo self-serve.

Popular Comparisons
Side-by-side breakdowns of the AI visibility solutions buyers ask about most.
Peec AIAt the entry level it is now a fair fight: Profound's $99 Starter tracks ChatGPT only, while Peec's $95 covers ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini with unlimited seats - Peec wins on breadth per dollar. Profound wins when you need its depth: Claude and 10-engine coverage, agent workflows, and enterprise analytics.
Choose Profound: Choose Profound if you need its analytics depth or multi-engine Enterprise coverage (up to 10 engines incl. Claude), or want to start small on the $99 ChatGPT-only Starter and grow into the platform.
Choose Peec AI: Choose Peec AI if you want three engines and unlimited seats at $95/month - broader entry coverage than Profound's ChatGPT-only Starter - plus agency workspaces from $245/month.
Peec AI
Otterly AIOtterly is the better value at the low end and the only one of the two with Google AI Overviews and Copilot in core plans. Peec is the better team tool - unlimited seats and agency workspaces - with a 4.9/5 G2 average (11 reviews) vs Otterly's 4.8/5 (52 reviews).
Choose Peec AI: Choose Peec AI if several people will live in the tool (unlimited seats), you run client accounts (agency plans from $245/month), and Gemini coverage matters more than AI Overviews.
Choose Otterly AI: Choose Otterly AI if you want the lowest real entry price ($29/month), Google AI Overviews and Microsoft Copilot tracking, API/MCP integration, or built-in GEO URL audits - and are fine adding Gemini or Claude as paid add-ons.
Otterly AIAt equal budgets Otterly covers more engines: $29 buys four engines where Profound's $99 buys one. Choose Otterly for affordable multi-engine monitoring; choose Profound when its analytics depth matters or you are growing toward its Enterprise tier (up to 10 engines).
Choose Profound: Choose Profound if you value analytics depth and a growth path to Enterprise (Claude + 10 engines, API, SSO), or procurement wants the category's largest vendor ($96M Series C, Fortune-500-grade customers).
Choose Otterly AI: Choose Otterly AI if you want the most engine coverage per dollar at the low end ($29 buys 4 engines), a 7-day no-card trial, and integration hooks (API, MCP, Looker Studio).
