| Rightcited Core | Ahrefs Brand Radar | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A monthly service: 50 buyer questions checked weekly on four assistants by people, every flagged answer graded against your truth file, and the fixes done (pages, corrections at the source, listings, placements). | Ahrefs' AI visibility product: an index of 462 million prompts run through AI platforms, plus Custom Prompts you define, inside the Ahrefs SEO suite. |
| Assistants covered | ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, all with web search on | AI Overviews, AI Mode, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot; Claude on Custom Prompts |
| Questions tracked | 50 questions chosen with you, weekly, every answer archived as served | 5, 10 or 20 daily Custom Prompts by plan; packages from 2,500 checks a month |
| How often | Weekly | Daily, weekly or monthly, chosen per platform |
| Who reads the answers | A person reads every flagged answer and grades it with the verbatim sentence; a verdict changes only after two checks agree | Automated collection inside the SEO suite; acting on it is your team's job |
| When an answer is wrong | We trace it to the page the assistant read, request the correction there, and re-check weekly until the answer changes | The dashboard shows it; the correction is yours to make |
| Pages written for your site | Up to ten a month, delivered ready to publish | None; it is a tracking tool |
| Listings, inclusion requests and placements | Up to 20 requests and up to one secured placement a month, logged with dates | None; it is a tracking tool |
| Reporting | A dashboard where every count opens the answers behind it, and a dated work log | Dashboards, reports and exports |
| Monthly price | $499 per brand | From $129 (Lite, 5 prompts) to $699 (index, all models) |
| A year, one brand | $5,988 per brand, month to month, work included | $1,548 (Lite with 5 prompts); $3,936 (Lite plus the $199 index) |
Ahrefs Brand Radar: Custom Prompts are included with every paid Ahrefs plan (Lite $129 a month includes 5 daily prompts, Standard $249 includes 10, Advanced $449 includes 20); prompt packages start at $50 a month (+2,500 checks). The AI Visibility Index starts at $199 a month, with all models at $699. Each prompt on one platform in one location is one check per update; Claude uses 8 checks per update. Over a year, one brand: $1,548 (Lite with 5 prompts); $3,936 (Lite plus the $199 index). What the year buys is the tracking; the pages, the corrections and the outreach the tracking points at are additional work for your team or your agency.
Rightcited Core: $499 per brand per month, month to month, which is $5,988 over a year. What the year buys: 50 questions checked weekly on four assistants with every answer archived, a person grading every flag, up to 120 pages written to the questions, up to 240 listing and inclusion requests, up to 12 secured placements, the corrections, the dashboard and the dated work log. Grow is quoted for accounts that need more than that in a month.
The fair comparison is not the two monthly numbers. It is the tracker's price plus the cost of the people who act on it, against Core's price with the work included.
Ahrefs Brand Radar is software: it collects AI answers for the prompts you set and shows you the numbers. Rightcited is a service: 50 buyer questions checked every week on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, each flagged answer read by a person, and the fixes (pages, corrections at the source, listings and placements) done for you and logged.
Yes, and some clients will. Ahrefs Brand Radar gives a team a daily view across many prompts; Rightcited is the weekly check that someone reads, plus the work. If you run both, the overlap is the tracking, and the useful part of Rightcited is everything after the tracking.
