Why people look beyond AreYouMention.

AreYouMention is a free tool for tracking how a brand shows up in AI assistants. Its LLM Mention Tracker runs your queries in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google Gemini and scores your visibility in each, and its LLM Traffic Analytics module reads your Google Analytics 4 data to show the visits AI sends you. 1

It costs nothing: there is no subscription, no credit card and no fee. The free plan covers up to 3 brands with 3 queries each and up to 3 GA4 properties, with competitor domain analysis, fan-out tracking, exportable reports and a monthly email report. 1

The same team runs a GEO agency. Its service combines a Pro version of the tool with citation strategy, content structuring and monitoring, plus an exclusive network of websites it operates as sources for AI answers. The agency page shows no prices. 2

Upthread is paid software for the Reddit side of AI visibility. It finds the threads that Google results and AI answers cite for your buyer questions, ranks them, and drafts two replies per thread that follow the subreddit's rules; you post from your own account, and Upthread tracks each reply.
