GEO console vs Otterly.AI: which AI visibility tool should you pick?

Choose Otterly.AI if Google's AI surfaces matter most to you: it tracks Google AI Overviews and Microsoft Copilot in every paid plan, offers Google AI Mode as a paid add-on, and ships a public API, MCP and a Looker Studio connector. Choose GEO console if you want Claude and Grok tracked today — Otterly.AI lists Claude as "coming soon" — with Gemini included from the 79€/mo Starter plan rather than sold as an add-on, plus a permanent free tier. Both tools track ChatGPT and Perplexity; the rest of this page details the differences, with sources.

Which one should you choose?

Both tools are serious; they make different bets on engines, integrations and pricing.

Choose Otterly.AI if…

→Google's AI surfaces are your battlefield — Google AI Overviews and Microsoft Copilot are tracked in every paid plan, and Google AI Mode is available as an add-on (Otterly.AI pricing). GEO console queries none of these.
→You need integrations — a public API and a workflow marketplace launched on June 1, 2026, plus MCP and a Looker Studio connector (press release). On GEO console, API access is Enterprise-only.
→You need prompt volume — up to 400 search prompts on Premium ($489/mo), with daily tracking and unlimited team members on all plans, plus 100-prompt add-on packs on Standard and Premium (pricing).
→You want an established vendor — founded in 2024 in Vienna, named a Cool Vendor in the 2025 Gartner Cool Vendors for AI in Marketing, and used by 30,000+ marketing pros according to its homepage.

Choose GEO console if…

→You want Claude and Grok today — both are in our 5-engine panel; Otterly.AI lists Claude as "coming soon" and Grok is not among its six supported engines.
→You want Gemini included — it ships with Starter (79€/mo) and above; on Otterly.AI, Gemini is an add-on billed $9 to $149/mo depending on the plan.
→You want answer-level metrics — citation rate, average position in the answer, share of voice and trigger prompts, smoothed over multiple runs with a published methodology.
→You want to start at 0€ — a permanent free plan on ChatGPT and an instant domain test, rather than a 14-day window. See our pricing.

Where GEO console falls short

A fair comparison cuts both ways, so here are our own gaps against Otterly.AI.

A young product

GEO console launched recently: 600+ AI answers analyzed and 15+ brands tracked so far. Otterly.AI, founded in 2024, claims 30,000+ marketing pros. We compensate with a fully published methodology, so you can judge the measurement rather than the logo count.

No Google AI Overviews or AI Mode

GEO console never queries Google AI Overviews or Google AI Mode. We query the Gemini assistant with Google Search grounding, which is a different surface. If AI Overviews are critical for you, Otterly.AI tracks them in every paid plan.

No Microsoft Copilot, no Meta AI

Our panel is ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Grok. Microsoft Copilot — covered by Otterly.AI — and Meta AI are not part of it today.
