See the questions, platforms, refresh rates, answers, sources, and limits that matter." url: https://promptradar.nl/blog/ai-visibility-tools published: 2026-08-16 author: "PromptRadar" topic: "Comparison" --- # AI Visibility Tools Compared in 2026 Compare the AI platforms, tracked questions, refresh rate, raw answers, and price before you choose a visibility tracker. ## The short answer AI visibility tools ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI your buyer questions on a schedule. They track whether you get mentioned, which competitors appear, and which sources shape the answers. Compare cost per question, included AI platforms, refresh rate, and access to raw answers. AI visibility tools show whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI mention your company when buyers ask for help. Each tool starts with buyer questions. It asks those questions on a schedule, saves the answers, finds named brands, and records cited sources. The useful result is not one score. It is the evidence that shows where you appear and where a competitor wins. ## In brief - For scans of .nl websites, 74.2% of cited sources come from a .nl website. The share is 2.7% for sites outside the Netherlands. - Perplexity and Google AI Mode provide 81% of citations for .nl website scans in this dataset. - A technical site audit measures schema and markup. An AI visibility tracker measures actual answers and citations. - Start with a free check. Use a paid tracker when you need repeat scans and history. ## Start with the questions Write down the questions a buyer asks before choosing a product or service. Include category questions, comparisons, and questions about price, location, or support. Good tracking starts with natural buyer language. Ask a few questions yourself before you buy a tool. Use a clean AI session and save the date, answer, named companies, and cited pages. This free check shows whether you need a one-time diagnosis or ongoing monitoring. ## Compare what each plan measures Count the buyer questions in the plan. Then check which AI platforms are included and how often each question runs. A plan with more prompts can still cover less when it omits a platform or refreshes less often. Choose a tool that shows the full answer and its sources. Raw evidence helps you understand why a competitor appears. A score alone cannot show which page or claim shaped the result. ## Check support for your market Language and location change AI answers. Check whether a tool sends the question from the country you serve. Read the generated questions before the first scan. A direct translation can miss the words your buyers use. PromptRadar tracks ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI. It shows every answer, competitor, source, and change over time in one report. ## See whether AI mentions your company Enter your website.
