Known Agents review: pricing, features & alternatives

knownagents.com/llms.txt and /about (read 20 October 2026). Agent Analytics shows which bots visit which pages, traffic spikes, errors, slow responses, spoofed identities and robots.txt violations. AI Chat Referral Tracking counts human visits from AI platforms and estimates how often links in AI answers are clicked. Both are fed by the same visit events, sent from a CDN, server or plugin rather than a browser script.

Setup guides cover Cloudflare Workers and Logpush (Enterprise), Fastly log streaming, Akamai DataStream, CloudFront through Firehose, Google Cloud load balancer logs, Vercel log drains (Vercel Pro or Enterprise) and a WordPress plugin. Hosted platforms such as Shopify, Webflow and HubSpot go through a Cloudflare Worker.

knownagents.com/pricing (read 20 October 2026). Free is $0 with 1 project and 100K events. Startup is $29 a month with 3 projects and 1M events. Growth is $299 a month with 10 projects and 10M events. Enterprise is custom with unlimited projects and usage-based events. The free plan has a hard cap; on paid plans the company says it will email you about an upgrade if you keep exceeding the limit.

Every row below is a capability we already listed for Known Agents. It is the published feature set for this page, not a guess at an unpublished demo. Compare it with the Promptwatch checklist that follows.

On this listing, Known Agents is a AI visibility tracker for Publishers, ecommerce and docs teams who want to see and control bot traffic at the server or CDN level, and do not need prompt tracking. What we sourced here: Agent Analytics: visits by agent, category and page, spike alerts, error and redirect analysis, robots.txt violations and spoof verification; AI Chat Referral Tracking: human visits from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity and others, by page, country and time; Estimated citation counts and citation click-through rates, inferred from AI agents retrieving your pages; Automatic Robots.txt that adds rules for chosen bot categories as new agents appear; Bad-bot blocking through the WordPress plugin, WordPress VIP or a Cloudflare Worker.

If you buy Known Agents for the job above, plan a second tool (or Promptwatch) for the layers this listing does not document. Still missing here: Visitor analytics: AI-referred sessions and conversions; Content Agents that plan, write, and publish GEO pages to a CMS with a review inbox; Citation analytics at page, domain, Reddit, YouTube, and offsite level; Prompt volumes, difficulty, query fan-outs, personas, city-level geo; Prompt and citation trends (what changed between checks); ChatGPT Shopping tracking and Ads Radar; Agent Chat, Unified Actions, MCP server / REST API on paid plans. Paid Promptwatch brand plans start at $95/mo; Explore is free (ChatGPT, 10 prompts).

Known Agents's public pages (and this listing) describe a narrower job than Promptwatch. Most rivals answer whether you were mentioned. Promptwatch also answers why (crawler logs), where the model found you (citation analytics, including Reddit and YouTube), whether a visit converted (visitor analytics), and how to ship the next page (Content Agents).

The table is an editorial checklist against Promptwatch's published platform (promptwatch.com/llms.txt, 2026-08-23). It is not a hidden feature list for this vendor. 'Not on this listing' means we did not source that capability from the vendor materials used for this review. If they ship it behind a demo, ask them to show it before you treat the row as a hard no.
