Why people look beyond Lumirank.
Lumirank is an AI visibility and rank tracking platform for marketing teams. It asks your prompts daily in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and Google's AI answers, and scores visibility, prominence and sentiment the same way for you and every rival you track. 1
It has a free plan with 10 prompts on two models. Paid plans run from Starter at $29 a month for 25 prompts on three models to Scale at $399 for 450 prompts and five brands, and yearly billing gives two months free. Each prompt counts once per country, and team members are unlimited. 2

Switching from Lumirank.
Start from your website. Upthread drafts a brand profile from it and suggests buyer questions, competitors, keywords and focus subreddits, all editable; your Lumirank prompts and rivals carry straight over. Add your role and disclosure line, choose engines and a country, and the first discovery and visibility runs go out right away, the target being a ranked inbox in under three minutes. The extension can be added later.
What you bring across
- The prompts you track, buying questions first. They become Upthread buyer questions, run in Google's AI answers and the API engines.
- The rivals in your league table, with aliases, for share of voice per engine and for the threads where buyers recommend them.
- The country you care about most. Upthread asks every buyer question in the country you choose, the US by default.
What works differently
- Lumirank lists Reddit citation analysis beside its other citation reports. Upthread is built around those threads: each one an inbox item with its priority, the subreddit's rules and its citation history per engine. 2
- Lumirank asks every prompt daily on the models in your plan. Upthread checks Google AI Overviews and AI Mode twice a week from live results, and ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude weekly through their APIs. 2
- Lumirank shows the prompts where rivals are named and you aren't, and the pages behind each answer. Upthread drafts the reply for a cited Reddit thread and records what happened after you posted it. 4
