Ranketta vs Am I Cited vs Cognizo 2026
Three AI visibility products that are not the same shape. Ranketta is the SKU and feed tool, Am I Cited is the credit based monitor, Cognizo is the AEO platform with leads. Here is where each fits and where Promptwatch lands.
Three products that get lumped together as "AI visibility tools" are doing meaningfully different jobs in 2026. Ranketta is an ecommerce visibility product built around SKUs and product feeds. Am I Cited is a credit based monitor that covers eight engines at a low entry price. Cognizo is an Answer Engine Optimization platform that pairs tracking with content agents and lead attribution at a four figure entry. None of the three is the full platform. Each is a good answer to a specific question, and each stops short of the crawler log, citation depth, and CMS publishing layers that a full GEO platform publishes.
This post compares the three on what they actually do, and ends with where Promptwatch fits for the buyer who needs the layers these three do not publish.
Ranketta: the SKU and feed tool
Ranketta is built for a merchandiser, not a content SEO team. It tracks which products AI assistants recommend, then tries to fix the catalogue so those assistants have something dense to read. The product splits into product visibility, feed enrichment, Content studio, and on the agency Starter tier, Agent Mode. The buyer is a merchant ops or merchandising lead who will actually approve enrichment diffs and push feeds.
The engine pool is Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity on the public model pool, with Amazon Alexa, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, and Grok listed as premium add ons on paid store and brand grids. Plan cards cap how many models you can choose: two on Tracker, up to five on Scale. The commerce surfaces named on the homepage are Shopify, Shoptet, Adobe Commerce, Wix, BigCommerce, Amazon, Walmart, Heureka, and Zbozi. That Central European feed set is still rare in this category. Cloudflare edge logging of AI bot visits is the measurement add-on, and Looker Studio and Google Analytics are the connectors. Ranketta documents an MCP server with five tools, covering prompts, citations, audits, sentiment, and products.
Pricing on 1 September 2026: the store tab started at €29 Tracker, €79 Starter with enrichment, €199 Growth, €449 Scale. Brand plans run €29, €69, €169, and €399. Agency tiers run €149, €299, and €599 with unlimited client seats. Enrichment credits on the store feature grid are 5k, 15k, and 45k on Starter, Growth, and Scale, plus a €50 pack for 50k credits. The Profound compare page on the same site still says €89 to €249, so treat checkout as the quote.
What Ranketta does not publish is the documented visitor to conversion analytics or a crawl to citation path at the depth a full GEO platform publishes. It is the SKU and feed tool. It is not the company wide GEO source of truth.
Am I Cited: the credit based monitor
Am I Cited is a credit based AI visibility platform. One AI response is one prompt run on one engine, and credits cover responses, agent runs, and AI articles. It watches eight engines: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, and Grok. The engine list is the strongest part of the offer, because all eight are on the entry tier, not gated behind a higher plan.
The pricing page is credit based and lists four tiers: Starter, Pro, Premium, and Enterprise. Starter carries 50 credits a month, 3,000 AI responses, one domain, 200 prompts per domain, 10 competitors, and 10 AI articles. Enterprise is custom credit volume with unlimited domains, prompts, competitors, and articles, plus API, SSO, audit log, MCP server, and custom agent workflows. The pricing page documents the unit cost plainly: one AI response costs 0.015 credits, and a worked example says a prompt tracked daily across eight engines is eight AI responses a day, or 0.12 credits. Unused credits do not roll over, but top ups are available. The entry price the vendor publishes on its own comparison page is from 50 euros a month, and a seven day free trial covers one domain, five prompts, and three articles with no card required.
The depth stops at the score. There is no published crawler log product, so you cannot see which AI bots hit your site, which pages they read, or the crawl to citation path. There is no published visitor analytics layer that joins AI referred sessions to conversions, and no Content Agents that publish GEO pages to Webflow or Framer through a review inbox. The MCP server is Enterprise gated. For a visibility score across eight engines at a low price, Am I Cited fits. For the measurement and workflow stack that explains and fixes the score, it does not.
Cognizo: the AEO platform with leads
Cognizo is an Answer Engine Optimization platform that pairs visibility tracking with content agents and lead attribution. It runs prompts continuously across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Claude, Meta AI, and Grok, and reports visibility, sentiment, and citations by model, topic, prompt, and region.
Pricing is demo led but the page publishes numbers. Platform starts at $499 per month with 150 tracked prompts, 5 platforms, 8 AI optimized articles a month, AI traffic analytics, ChatGPT Ads, and MCP and API access. Done for You starts at $899 per month with automatic market research, prompt planning, 180 published articles over 6 months, lead tracking and attribution, weekly reporting, and AI crawler access and protection. Enterprise is custom and adds all platforms, multiple brands and workspaces, SSO, SLA, and custom integrations. There is no self serve checkout visible on the page, so you book a demo and talk to sales before you can run it yourself.
The monitoring layer is real. What is not on the listing is the measurement stack below it: no published crawler log view of which AI bots hit your site or the crawl to citation path, no published visitor analytics joining AI referred sessions to conversions, and no Content Agents publishing GEO pages to Webflow or Framer through a review inbox on the self serve plans. The customer stories on the page cite results that were not audited, including a Hat Club 20x revenue claim. Treat those as vendor quotes, not verified outcomes. Cognizo is closest to a full platform on the content and lead side, and furthest from it on the crawler log and visitor analytics side.
Where Promptwatch fits
All three products answer a narrower question than a full GEO platform does. Ranketta answers "which SKU does the model recommend and is my feed row dense enough." Am I Cited answers "did the model mention me across eight engines." Cognizo answers "how do I track, write, and attribute leads across the major engines." Each is a real answer. None of them is the answer to "why did a page drop, which URL got cited, did a crawler read it, and did the visit convert."
That is the layer Promptwatch publishes and these three do not. Promptwatch is a full AI visibility platform. It tracks prompts with search volumes, difficulty scores, and query fan outs across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Grok, Llama, DeepSeek, Mistral, and Copilot, plus Google AI Overviews and AI Mode. It does citation analytics at the page and domain level, Reddit and YouTube citations, offsite mentions, and citation type breakdowns, with a citation trends view that shows how citation sources and volume move over time. It runs Agent Analytics, the real time AI crawler log layer that logs ChatGPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, GoogleOther, and the Meta AI crawler, with a crawl to citation path and error tracking. It runs visitor analytics that connect AI referred sessions to conversions through a lightweight script or GTM template. And it runs Content Agents that plan, write, and publish GEO optimized content to Webflow or Framer, with WordPress listed as coming soon, through a review inbox.
The MCP server is the part that matters for a buyer comparing these three. Promptwatch ships a hosted streamable HTTP MCP server at https://server.promptwatch.com/mcp, with OAuth or Bearer key auth, and the ChatGPT plugin and Claude connector run on it. Read only keys hide the write tools. The read tools include listPrompts, getVisibilityTimeSeries, getCitations, getCitationTopPages, listRedditCitations, listYoutubeCitations, getCompetitorHeatmap, listContentGapPrompts, getContentGapRecommendations, listQueryFanouts, getCrawlerTrend, getTopCrawlerPages, getVisitorTrend, getVisitorTopPages, and getVisitorTopSources. The write tools include createContent, listContentSlots, acceptContentSlot, and publishContentLive. Ranketta documents an MCP server with five tools. Cognizo lists MCP and API access on Platform and above. Am I Cited gates its MCP server at Enterprise. Promptwatch exposes the full measurement and publishing stack over MCP from the entry paid plan.
Pricing for context: Promptwatch Explore is free, with 10 prompts on ChatGPT only. Paid brand plans start at Essential $95 per month, with Professional at $245 and Business at $579. Agency self serve tiers run from Kick off at $199 to Scale at $799, all with unlimited projects and prompts.
How to choose across the four
The four way split is cleaner than it looks. If you sell through product feeds and your job is merchandising, Ranketta is the SKU and feed tool, and you pair it with a platform that measures citations and traffic. If you want a cheap, broad engine spread and accept credit math, Am I Cited is the monitor, and you move up when you need the why behind the score. If you want tracking, content, and lead attribution from one vendor and will pay $499 to $899 a month, Cognizo is the AEO platform, and you pair it with a platform that publishes crawler logs and CMS content. If you want the full stack, prompt tracking through CMS publishing, with the citation and crawler measurement in the same workspace, Promptwatch is the platform.
For most teams, the fourth answer is the one that holds up over a year. A tracker tells you where you stand. A platform tells you why, and ships the next page. Promptwatch is the platform that does both in one invoice, and its Content Agents and Agent Analytics are the layers the trackers and checkers leave to a second tool.
