Cons

  • Claude and Gemini tracking are either missing or cost extra depending on tier, limiting full-coverage visibility on lower plans
  • Can't correlate brand mentions with actual click-through traffic from AI engines
  • Affiliate/ambassador sign-up is manual (via email), not a self-serve network link
  • No public affiliate program was found (the /affiliates page returns a 404)
  • Covers only 3 AI engines (Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity), narrower than some competitors that track 5-9
  • Credit-based pricing scales poorly for agencies or high-volume use
  • No permanent free plan, only a 14-day trial
