Gumshoe builds buyer personas and the prompts each would ask, then runs a monthly Visibility Audit of 480 conversations on six AI models by default, Claude and Grok included, with a smaller Snapshot between audits. Plans are priced per project, a brand plus one product line. AIGROW checks your own buyer questions on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok, in any of 11 languages, from a lower entry price, and can do the fixes as fixed-price jobs.

Which one fits your work?

Choose AIGROW when you want your own buyer questions checked in your language at a flat monthly price, with the fixes done for you. Choose Gumshoe when your team wants to see how different buyer personas get different answers, with sentiment, citation and content gap audits for each product line.

Keep Gumshoe if your team already plans its content from its audits. AIGROW can sit beside it for a fixed-price job such as listings on the sites assistants read.

AIGROW

Monitoring of your buyer questions, with fixes done for you when you want them

Visit AIGROW

AIGROW monitoring plans put your buyer questions to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok through their model APIs and save every answer, with the businesses each one names. Watch checks 10 questions a month for one site; Act checks 30 questions a week and tracks 3 competitors; Operate covers 3 sites with 5 competitors each. A site’s questions can be split into markets, each in one of 11 languages with an optional place. Fixes such as listings, schema or a Google Business Profile are separate jobs at a fixed price.

Best reason to choose it
A stronger fit for a local business or a small agency that wants a short list of buyer questions checked in its own language, at a flat monthly price, with the option to have the fixes done.
Check before you choose
AIGROW reads four assistants through their APIs, so answers in a public app can differ with location, account and date. It does not track Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode or Copilot, and no tool can guarantee a mention.

Gumshoe

Persona-based AI visibility audits, priced per project

Visit Gumshoe

Gumshoe builds the buyer personas in your market and the prompts each one would ask, then puts them to AI models through their official APIs; Google AI Overviews comes from live Google results through a search data provider. Its FAQ lists 12 model families from eight providers, and each Visibility Audit runs six by default: Claude Sonnet, ChatGPT mini, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity Sonar, Gemini Flash and Grok. Both plans include 480 conversations a billing period, a monthly Visibility Audit, a smaller Snapshot Audit between audits, Technical Audit runs and content pieces. The Playbook adds the Sentiment, Citation and Content Audits. Every plan has unlimited seats and CSV and JSON export, and Gumshoe runs an MCP server that AI clients can query.

Best reason to choose it
A stronger fit for a product or content marketing team that wants to see how different buyer personas get different answers, with citation and content gap audits the whole team can read.
Check before you choose
Prices are per project, a brand plus one focus area, so three product lines are three plans. The full audit runs monthly, with the Snapshot weekly on Build your own and daily on the Playbook. Its pricing page and FAQ do not say which languages or countries it covers.

Best AI visibility tools in 2026

Before choosing a tool

Gumshoe prices each project, a brand plus one focus area, on its own plan: Build your own, with the Sentiment, Citation or Content Audit added at a monthly price each, or the Playbook with all three and a daily Snapshot. Both include 480 conversations a billing period, and extra ones are charged per conversation. AIGROW plans have a flat monthly price for a set number of your buyer questions.

Gumshoe’s FAQ lists 12 model families from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Perplexity, xAI, DeepSeek and Meta, and says each Visibility Audit runs six by default: Claude Sonnet, ChatGPT mini, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity Sonar, Gemini Flash and Grok. It queries the models through their official APIs. AIGROW plans check ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok through their model APIs.

No. A tool can measure sampled answers, identify issues or help you plan changes. It does not control what an assistant recommends. Track whether relevant answers change after the work, and record the questions, settings and dates used.

Use one real client, a fixed set of buyer questions and an agreed reporting period. Check the raw responses, countries, languages, exports and account permissions you need. Ask who will implement changes after each report, and measure the time needed to produce a useful client update.
