Which one should you pick?

Based on the published data, Mentionova has the lower published entry price ($99/mo vs $599/mo); Gauge lists the broader engine coverage (7 vs 6). Positioning also differs: Gauge aims at Challenger and leading brands, while Mentionova targets Brands and agencies tracking AI visibility. There is no universal winner — shortlist by the engines you need, your budget, and whether you want to try before you buy.

What is Gauge?

Gauge runs a set of prompts daily across six AI platforms (ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity, and Microsoft Copilot; Claude and Grok require the Enterprise tier) and checks each answer for brand mentions and citations. It reports which content gets cited and where a brand is absent versus competitors, then its content engine generates and publishes articles targeting those visibility gaps, tracking afterward whether the published pages moved the numbers.

Growth costs $599/month for 600 prompts run daily (about 108,000 tracked answers monthly), 18 articles, and 10 seats, with a one-week free trial; Enterprise adds Claude/Grok tracking, unlimited articles and seats, and a dedicated analyst at custom pricing. The site features several customer case studies with large visibility gains, though these are self-reported and started from very different baselines.

What is Mentionova?

Mentionova runs buyer questions across six sources — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, and Reddit — re-checking each every two hours and scoring mention rate, share of voice, position, and citation count. It produces a daily brief flagging overnight changes (a rank gain, a dropped mention, a shifting citation) and pairs each with a pre-drafted response or fix, down to the specific phrase lost and the source that replaced it.

Built for brand and agency teams that want daily monitoring without installing a pixel or tag — setup is just a domain plus category questions. Starter tracks three engines from $99/month billed annually ($125/month billed monthly); Growth and Agency plans extend to all six engines. Customer quotes report citation gains within 30-60 days of shipping content, though these are self-reported case studies.
