How to choose
The checks that separate the right pick from an expensive dashboard.
- Perplexity coverage is near-universal in this market — the differentiator is citation-level detail
- Check whether the tool shows which of YOUR pages Perplexity cites, not just brand mentions
- Perplexity leans heavily on top-ranking pages (80%+ domain overlap with Google's top 10 per Semrush research) — pair tracking with classic SEO data
- Baseline free first: most free checkers include Perplexity
Included in effectively every paid tool ($29+/mo); free checkers cover it.
Perplexity-specific spend rarely makes sense — buy multi-engine and use the Perplexity view.
