Comparison

For marketing and SEO leaders:
compare first-choice recommendations, daily tracking and SEO suite coverage

Choose Modern Discovery™ when your priority is measuring whether AI picks your brand first and tracking changes after fixes. Compare the alternatives below when daily tracking, broader engine coverage or an integrated SEO suite matters more. Modern Discovery by Modern AI is AI recommendation intelligence software that measures how often ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI answers recommend your brand, and why. This page puts it next to six other AI search visibility tools, also called GEO (generative engine optimization) tools, using each company's own published pages. Modern AI publishes this page.

The Table

Seven Tools, Side by Side

Modern Discovery cells describe its plans from Truth Monitor to Enterprise and match the live pricing page. Profound is shown at its Enterprise tier. Modern Discovery spans Truth Monitor, Pro and Enterprise; the cells identify plan restrictions, and the tiers are not presented as equivalent. Where a feature was not found on a company's own pages, the cell says so rather than assuming it is absent. Recommendation Rate measures first-choice recommendations in the evaluated AI answers. A change in Recommendation Rate does not by itself establish incremental traffic, conversions or revenue.

Recommendation Rate measures AI answer outcomes, not revenue. Re-measurement shows whether the rate changed after an action. It does not by itself show that the action caused the change or produced incremental sales.
