Is AI recommending your business? Or your competitor's?

WhyIQ AI Radar is an AI citation monitor. We test the buyer-intent prompts your audience asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI every week, and we record exactly when each engine cites your domain, when it cites a competitor instead, and which third-party sources (Reddit, review sites, listicles) take the slot. You get a Citation Score, a per-engine grid, a competitor leaderboard, and a ranked list of fixes. Free first check, no account required.

The scanner's AI Citability Index is a structural readiness score. It audits your page for the on-page signals (FAQ schema, statistical density, named author byline, crawler access) that predict citation. WhyIQ AI Radar is the measured outcome. It records actual citations from real AI engines responding to real buyer prompts. The scanner tells you if your page is ready to be cited. AI Radar tells you if it actually is, by which engines, and for which prompts.

Five engines on every check: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI. These are the mainstream consumer-facing AI search surfaces that drive measurable referral traffic today. The Agency tier adds Grok and Microsoft Copilot once their measurement pricing stabilises. Each engine runs your 8 sample prompts (or 30, on SMB and above) and we record the full ordered list of sources cited per answer, then collapse it into a per-engine citation rate so you can see which engines are working for you and which are not.

AI Radar bundles all 5 mainstream engines at $29/mo on SMB. The funded competitors gate engines aggressively at the floor. Otterly is $29/mo for 4 engines with extras as paid add-ons (+$9, +$59, +$149 per engine) and a 6.5x jump to the $189 mid tier with no middle rung. Peec AI is $89-95/mo for 3 engines at the floor with per-engine add-ons (+$30, +$70, +$140 each). Profound is $99/mo for 50 prompts on ChatGPT only, with no free trial and 1-3 week onboarding; their $399/mo tier adds 3 engines. AI Radar's wedge is flat-engine pricing at the floor: 5 included, no add-ons, instant self-serve at $29/mo. The Agency tier upgrade is rigor (3-pass confidence band) rather than more engines.

The free check is one-time. The SMB tier ($29/mo) checks 30 prompts weekly with a single read per engine. The Agency tier ($149/mo) runs the same weekly cadence across 5 client domains and 40 prompts each, but adds a 3-pass confidence band on every check (each prompt × engine is queried 3 times and averaged), the only honest answer to the category's noisy single-shot tools. Citations are not stable. AirOps' 548,000-page study found AI citations have a 3-month half-life, so weekly tracking is the minimum useful cadence, and the trend, not the snapshot, is the signal you act on.

Every weekly scan is deep by design. SMB runs 30 prompts x 5 engines = 150 AI queries every week. Agency runs 40 prompts x 5 engines x 3 passes = 600 AI queries per client every week, then averages the 3 passes into a confidence band. The run takes hours, not seconds, because depth at that scale is the trade. The moment it lands we email you a digest that names the top engine and the competitor that moved most week over week. Your dashboard stacks every weekly run, so the headline number is not the cited rate this week, it is the cited rate this week versus last week versus the week before. That is the actual product. The free hero check is just the first snapshot.

Depends on the tier. AI engines are probabilistic, not deterministic. Run the same prompt twice and you can get two different answers. Most tools in this category run each prompt once per check and report the result as a verdict. That presents noise as signal. The SMB tier ($29/mo) follows the category norm with one read per prompt × engine per week. The Agency tier ($149/mo) runs each prompt × engine three times every week and averages, so the dashboard shows 'cited 2 of 3 passes' instead of a single yes-or-no. If your team is making investment decisions off this data, Agency is the honest read; SMB is the cost-effective one.

Two reasons. The first is cost: every check fires across 5 AI engines and we pay each engine per query, so unlimited free checks would burn the unit economics that make the SMB tier sustainable at $29. The second is product: a one-time check shows you the snapshot, but the actual product is the weekly trend. Once you've seen the snapshot, the SMB tier covers up to 30 prompts on a 7-day Stripe refund window. Sign up for free to save your result and get notified when Radar ships product updates.

Your free check is ephemeral. We run the 8 prompts, return the result, and the check expires from our active store after 30 days unless you save it via signup. On paid tiers we store your prompts, your tracked domains, your competitor list, and the per-engine citation history so you can see week-over-week trend. We never share or sell your data, and we never use your tracked prompts to train models. If you cancel a paid tier, your tenant goes archived for 60 days (so you can resume) and is permanently deleted after.

Yes. SMB and Agency are month-to-month, cancel from your billing dashboard or via the Stripe customer portal link in your account. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period, so you keep what you paid for until then. If something is not working and you cancel within 7 days of a paid checkout, email [email protected] for a full refund.
