An enterprise-platform alternative that scales down, not up

The enterprise end of this category is real, well funded and good at its job. It is also priced, packaged and sold for organisations with a standing AI-visibility function, a procurement process and an annual budget line. If you are two people and a client list, the entry ticket is the whole problem.

Sailiently in one minute

Sailiently answers one question — does AI recommend you? — and then helps you change the answer. The AI Visibility Tracker measures your buyers’ real questions across six engines and tells you where you are cited, mentioned, absent, or where nobody owns the answer yet. Citation Radar shows the open web those answers are drawn from. The GEO Optimization tools then audit the competitor pages that won, and draft the page that beats them. Re-run and see what moved.

What sets it apart against the rest of the category: it is pay-per-use — $1 = 1 credit, no subscription, a quiet month costs nothing — and it ends in a fix, not a dashboard. Every score is reproducible: paste any URL, including a rival’s, and check it yourself.

Why Sailiently

What scaling down actually buys you

  • The same question, answered for 5 credits. ‘Is this page citable, and what do I change?’
  • No procurement, no annual commitment, no onboarding cycle.
  • Six engines in every job, with no tier to climb and no per-index add-ons.
  • Published prices you can read without booking a call.

Reported from dated public sources, not from our own purchase of each plan. Several vendors do not publish pricing at all. Verify before budgeting — packaging in this category changes often.

What you are paying for at that tier

The enterprise price buys real things. It is worth being clear about what they are, because if you need any of them, this page is not for you.

Compliance

SOC 2 and similar certifications, which some of your clients will require in procurement. We do not carry these.

Scale

Hundreds or thousands of prompts tracked daily, across markets and languages, with historical depth.

Integration

SSO, APIs, BI pipelines and analytics attribution wired into an existing stack.

Service

Onboarding, a named account manager and a signed SLA.

What scaling down looks like instead

None of the above helps a two-person agency answer ‘is my client cited, and what do I change?’. That question costs 5 credits.

$1 = 1 credit. Volume bundles: 100 credits for $85 · 250 credits for $175 · 500 credits for $350 · 1,000 credits for $700. A seven-page site pass is 7 × 12 = 84 credits ($84 at list), so the 100-credit bundle at $85 covers it with credits to spare. Every account starts with 15 free credits and no card.

When you should buy the enterprise tool

Honestly, sometimes it is. Buy the subscription if:

Frequently asked questions

Is there really no monthly fee?

No monthly fee. $1 = 1 credit, and you buy credits in bundles. A quiet month costs nothing.

What does a typical job cost?

A Site Check is free. A URL audit is 5 credits, a gap analysis 5, a page rewrite 10. A seven-page site pass is 7 × 12 = 84 credits ($84 at list), so the 100-credit bundle at $85 covers it with credits to spare.

How does that compare to the category?

A 2026 benchmark of more than 30 AI search monitoring tools put the average at about $337 per month, and a July 2026 round-up found serious multi-engine tracking generally starting near $200-500 per month. Those are reported figures; verify with each vendor.

Which engines are included?

ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode — all six, with no add-on tiers.

When should I buy a subscription instead?

When you need continuous daily monitoring, client-facing dashboards, or your volume is high enough that a flat fee beats per-job pricing. We would rather say that plainly than sell you the wrong shape of tool.

About this comparison. Everything stated here about the vendors named above is drawn from that company’s own public pages and from dated third-party reviews and round-ups, gathered on the date shown at the top of this page. We have not purchased or independently tested every plan described. Pricing, packaging, engine coverage and features in this category change frequently, and figures are reported rather than verified by us. Always check the vendor’s own live pricing page before making a decision — the date on this page tells you when we looked, not that the information is still current. We correct errors promptly: if anything here is wrong or out of date, tell us and we will fix it. No liability is accepted for errors or omissions, or for decisions taken on the basis of this page. Details of Sailiently’s own pricing and behaviour are accurate as at the same date and can be verified on our pricing page.
