HOW IT WORKS

Save. Schedule. Review.

Save up to 25 checks, choose daily or weekly, then review every stored report in Cite42 or through MCP.

  1. Choose one brand, up to 10 competitors, and a query.
    Each saved check uses the existing compare primitive. Add more checks when you need to cover several buyer questions or model selections.
  2. Run every saved comparison daily or weekly.
    Choose a local time and timezone, then confirm the maximum cost you allow for one complete tracker run before activation.
  3. Review rankings and coMentions over time.
    Open stored results in Cite42 or retrieve the tracker report through MCP so your AI agent can summarize how the competitive field changed.
EXAMPLE USE CASES

Three ways to use this tracker.

A few practical ways teams use AI competitor tracker.

  • Saved field

    Keep the competitive set stable.

    Save one buyer question, your primary brand, and up to ten named competitors so each scheduled run measures the same field.
  • Co-mentions

    Find who appears with you.

    Identify the brands that consistently show up in the same answer as yours, then use those co-mentions to shape positioning.
  • Recurring report

    Review the shortlist over time.

    Use stored reports to inspect rankings and co-mentions after launches, content changes, or positioning work.
PRICING

Runs use normal per-call pricing.

QUESTIONS

Questions about AI competitor tracker.

It stores every scheduled /v1/compare result: the query, brand, rankings rows, and coMentions pairs, together with the tracker run history.
One compare check accepts your brand and 1 to 10 competitors. A tracker can contain up to 25 saved checks for different queries or fields.
A coMention pair records two brands and a count. The count is how many selected model results named both brands for that check.
Yes. An authorized AI agent can list trackers and retrieve stored reports through the tracker MCP tools.
Each saved check uses the normal /v1/compare price for its selected models. Tracker management and report access do not add a subscription fee.
Activation confirms the maximum cost allowed for a complete tracker run. A current estimate above that ceiling pauses the tracker so you can review it.
