A documented comparison. No paid-account testing.

Surfer’s AI Search Analytics plan tracks 50 prompts daily on ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Mode and AI Overviews, and its content plans add a content editor, content audits and a topical map. AIGROW checks fewer 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. Choose by who will make the changes.

Which one fits your work?

Choose AIGROW when you want Claude and Grok checked as well, a short list of buyer questions in your own language and the fixes done for you. Choose Surfer when your team writes and refreshes its own content and wants daily tracking of Perplexity and Google’s AI results next to its editor and audits.

Keep Surfer if your team already writes and audits content with it. AIGROW can sit beside it for Claude and Grok, or 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.

Best AI visibility tools in 2026

Before choosing a tool

Surfer’s pricing page lists ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Mode and Google AI Overviews on AI Search Analytics, Pro and Peace of Mind. Standard tracks ChatGPT only, once a week, and Discovery tracks no AI prompts. AIGROW plans check ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok through their model APIs.

Surfer gives your team tools to act: a content editor with live guidelines, content audits, a topical map and an AI writing assistant. AIGROW sells the fixes as jobs done for you at a fixed price, such as listings, schema or a Google Business Profile.

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.
