CheckAIVisible's answer

Competitors like Profound, Peec and Otterly charge $90–$500+/month and keep the data behind a login. CheckAIVisible is free and public: anyone can see who AI recommends in their category, how often (measured five runs per engine under identical conditions), and which sources the engines cited. The built-in AI-readiness checker then shows any website exactly why AI can or can't read it — instant, deterministic, no account required.

CheckAIVisible's answer

Founders, marketers and SEO professionals at SaaS and consumer brands who want to know whether AI assistants recommend them — and what to fix if not. Plus buyers who simply want an honest, uneditorialized answer to "who does AI actually recommend for X?"

9Proxy's answer:

9Proxy's primary audience includes SEO professionals, market researchers, and data analysts who require reliable and anonymous internet access for data scraping, SERP analysis, and market research. It also caters to businesses involved in ad tech, multi-accounting, and price aggregation, providing them with the necessary tools to perform their tasks efficiently and securely.

CheckAIVisible's answer

AI answers are replacing the first page of Google for buying decisions, but which brands the assistants name was invisible, there was no public, repeatable record. We built one: the same buying questions, asked to ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity five times each every week, canonicalized, scored by appearance rate, and published with citations. The rule that makes it work: placement is never for sale.

9Proxy's answer:

We are a group of professionals identifying a gap in the market for reliable, affordable, and anonymous proxy services. We then leverage our expertise in network technology and security to create a solution that addresses these needs, leading to the establishment of 9Proxy. The company has grown by focusing on customer needs, technological advancements, and quality service.

CheckAIVisible's answer

Every AI-visibility tool on the market sells brands a private dashboard of their own mentions. CheckAIVisible publishes the data publicly instead — weekly leaderboards of which brands ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity actually recommend per category, with the method and the engines' own citations published alongside. Think CoinMarketCap, but for AI recommendations: a free public scoreboard rather than a paid private mirror. Placement is never for sale.
