The best Grok rank tracker for a team that wants Grok checked every day alongside six other AI engines, on a flat $39 plan, is Cituna. It asks Grok your buyers’ questions daily, records whether Grok names your brand, the position it gives you and the competitors it names instead, then generates the fix for each gap and publishes articles that answer the prompts you miss. Six more tools list Grok on a plan you can buy without a sales call: Rankscale if you want to set your own check frequency and pay in credits, LLM Pulse if you want Grok as an add-on to a five-engine plan billed in euros, LLMrefs for 500 prompts across eleven engines on a weekly refresh, Promptwatch for Grok as one of four models you pick, Trakkr for Grok and Claude checked daily with articles included, and AthenaHQ for Grok inside an eleven-model credit plan. Each listed rival’s facts come from its own pricing page, read on October 1, 2026.
How we chose these seven
The bar. A tool is on this list only if its own pricing page names Grok on a plan with a published price, either as an included engine or as a priced add-on. We read each listed vendor’s pricing page on October 1, 2026, and the tools we left out carry the date we read them. Grok on a custom Enterprise contract does not count, because you cannot see its price or start it without talking to sales, and neither does Grok that runs only on your own xAI API key with no price on the tracker’s page.
What we compared. The plan on which Grok first appears, how often that plan re-checks a prompt, how many prompts it covers, which other engines come on the same plan, and the listed price.
Why check frequency gets its own column. Grok builds answers from live X posts and real-time web results, so a brand that people are discussing today can show up in Grok’s answer today and drop out once the conversation moves on. A daily check records that swing on the day it happens. A weekly refresh samples one day in seven.
Order. Cituna comes first because it is our product. The other six follow by the lowest price each vendor lists for a paid plan, from low to high. The numbers are there to help you find your way around the page, not to rank the tools.

Rival figures were read on each vendor’s pricing page on October 1, 2026: rankscale.ai/pricing, llmpulse.ai/pricing, llmrefs.com/pricing, promptwatch.com/pricing, trakkr.ai/pricing and athenahq.ai/plans. Cituna’s come from cituna.com/pricing. LLM Pulse prices are in euros before VAT. LLMrefs’ pricing page marks its $79 plan “Limited time only”. Rankscale and AthenaHQ bill in credits, so their monthly bill depends on the engines and the frequency you pick. Cituna does not track Microsoft Copilot.
What a Grok rank tracker should record
A Grok rank tracker sends your buyers’ questions to Grok on a schedule and keeps every answer, so today’s reading can be compared with last week’s. Per prompt, five things are worth keeping:
- Whether Grok names you. A mention in the answer itself. Our explainer on mentions versus citations covers why trackers count the two separately.
- Your position. When Grok answers a “best tool” question with several brands, being named first and being named fifth are different results.
- Who Grok names instead. The competitors in the answer when you are missing are the brands your buyers hear about in your place.
- The sources behind the answer. Grok’s citations lean toward X threads, breaking news and recent blog posts more than other engines’ do; our breakdown of what Grok cites shows the pattern. The posts and pages it drew on tell you where your brand needs to be discussed.
- A day-by-day history. One answer is a snapshot, and AI answers change from run to run even when nothing else has. A daily series is what separates a real change from noise.
Two more questions decide whether the data leads anywhere: which other engines run on the same plan, since your buyers also ask ChatGPT and Google, and what the tool does once it has shown you a gap.

Rival cells come from each vendor’s pricing page as read on October 1, 2026. “Not listed” means the pricing page does not mention the feature, so the cell stays open rather than guessed. A partial mark means a condition applies: an add-on, one of your model picks, or, for Rankscale’s Grok, a name in its engines list that its plan cards and credit calculator do not repeat. “Pick” means Promptwatch tracks that engine only if it is one of your four chosen models; its pick list offers Google as a single option, while its model list names AI Overviews and AI Mode separately, and the page does not say which a Google pick covers. Cituna checks all seven of its engines daily on every plan; its MCP read tools come with every plan from $39 and its write tools from Pro ($119).
The 7 best Grok rank trackers in detail
1. Cituna (best for Grok plus six other engines, checked daily from $39)
Cituna sends your buyer prompts to Grok every day and records three things for each one: whether Grok mentioned your brand, the position it gave you, and the competitor brands it named instead. The same prompts run daily on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode, so a Grok miss sits in one row of a seven-engine matrix and you can tell a gap that only Grok shows from one every engine shows. Then Cituna does the work: it generates the fix for each gap (schema, FAQ markup, llms.txt and page changes), and AutoSEO writes 30 articles a month on Starter and publishes them to WordPress, Shopify, a GitHub repo or any CMS by webhook. The Grok rank tracker page shows what Cituna records for each prompt.
Plans are flat, and all seven engines come with every one of them: Starter at $39/mo covers 1 brand and 10 prompts, Pro at $119/mo covers 3 brands and 30 prompts, and Max at $399/mo covers 10 brands and 90 prompts (Cituna pricing). Google Search Console is built in, so a change in Grok can be read against your real clicks and impressions. Every plan includes the MCP server, with read tools from $39 and write tools from Pro. MCP is not unique to Cituna: other trackers list one too, Rankscale, LLM Pulse, Promptwatch and Trakkr among them.
Where Cituna falls short: it does not track Microsoft Copilot; Starter’s 10 prompts are fewer than Trakkr’s 50 or LLMrefs’ 500; it checks once a day rather than hourly; and seats are capped by plan at 1, 5 or 15.
2. Rankscale (best for setting your own Grok check frequency, paid in credits)
Rankscale prices by the credit, not by the prompt. Each plan carries a monthly credit allowance that every engine run draws on. Rankscale’s pricing page (read October 1, 2026) lists Pro at $99 a month for 1,200 credits, enough for up to 4,800 AI answers, with a 7-day free trial; Pro+ at $229; Growth at $385; and Enterprise at $780. Below Pro, Rankscale sells an Essentials plan on yearly billing only, at $204 a year. Rankscale lists Grok among its engines, beside ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, DeepSeek, Mistral and Copilot, and its plan cards add Google AI Mode and AI Overviews. Each search term can run hourly, daily, weekly or monthly.
For Grok, that schedule is the draw: you can re-check a prompt several times a day while a story is moving on X, then drop back to weekly once it settles. Where Rankscale falls short: runs cost different amounts per engine (its credit calculator shows 0.25 credits for a ChatGPT run and 2 for a Claude run, and does not list Grok), so ask Rankscale what a Grok run costs before you pick a plan, and Search Console does not appear on its pricing page. More on our Rankscale alternatives page.
3. LLM Pulse (best for adding Grok to a five-engine plan billed in euros)
LLM Pulse includes five models on every plan: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Mode and AI Overviews. Grok is an extra, priced from €8 per model per month on LLM Pulse’s pricing page (read October 1, 2026). LLM Pulse’s base plans differ by how often they run: Starter costs €49 a month for 50 prompts checked weekly in one project, or €79 a month with daily tracking. Adding Grok to LLM Pulse’s daily tracking brings 50 prompts to at least €87 a month by our arithmetic, before VAT. Every LLM Pulse plan includes unlimited team members and an MCP connection.
For Grok, the daily plan is the one to price, for the reason given in the method section. Where LLM Pulse falls short: Grok and Claude are both paid extras; the 14-day free trial covers the weekly plans only and needs a payment method, and Grok cannot be added until the trial ends, while daily plans bill from day one; and prices are quoted in euros before VAT. Our LLM Pulse alternatives page goes further.
4. LLMrefs (best for 500 prompts across eleven engines for one fee)
LLMrefs sells a single plan: $79 a month for 500 prompts, with every engine included at no extra charge, namely ChatGPT, ChatGPT Search, Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Grok, Microsoft Copilot, Meta AI and DeepSeek (llmrefs.com/pricing, read October 1, 2026). LLMrefs builds fan-out prompts from your keywords, can target more than 50 countries and 20 languages, and includes CSV export and API access. New accounts get a 7-day trial. LLMrefs’ pricing page marks the $79 price “Limited time only”.
For Grok, LLMrefs covers 500 prompts for one price, with Grok included rather than sold as an extra. Where it falls short: LLMrefs updates each keyword at least once a week, so a Grok answer that changes on a Tuesday may not show until the next refresh, and neither an MCP server nor Search Console appears on its pricing page. Our LLMrefs alternatives page lists tools with daily data.
5. Promptwatch (best for Grok as one of four models you pick, with MCP and API on the entry plan)
Promptwatch asks you to choose four models per plan from a list of eight: OpenAI, Perplexity, Google, Claude, Gemini, Meta, DeepSeek and Grok. Promptwatch’s Essential plan costs $95 a month for 50 prompts and 6,000 responses a month, checked daily in one project, with MCP and API access, an agent chat and a 7-day free trial (promptwatch.com/pricing, read October 1, 2026). Promptwatch Professional, at $245, raises the allowance to 150 prompts and adds five AEO articles a month, while Business, at $579, is sold through a demo. Google Search Console, WordPress and Webflow appear among its integrations.
For Grok, Promptwatch puts it in a small daily set beside the three engines you care about most, with no charge per engine. Where Promptwatch falls short: four models is the limit on all three listed plans, so adding Grok means giving up another engine; Microsoft Copilot is not on its list; and Essential includes no articles. Our Promptwatch alternatives page covers other options.
6. Trakkr (best for Grok and Claude checked daily, with articles included)
Trakkr puts all eight of its models on every plan: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Grok, DeepSeek and Meta AI. Trakkr’s Growth plan costs $100 a month, or $1,000 a year, and tracks one brand daily on 50 prompts, with 25 articles a month, three seats and MCP access (trakkr.ai/pricing, read October 1, 2026). The 14-day trial asks for a card.
For Grok, Trakkr pairs a daily reading with content production on one bill. Where Trakkr falls short: Google AI Mode and Microsoft Copilot are not among its models, Growth covers a single brand, and the REST API starts on the Scale plan at $500 a month. Our Trakkr alternatives page compares the field.
7. AthenaHQ (best for Grok inside an eleven-model credit plan)
AthenaHQ’s free Essential tier gives you 300 credits on ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews, Gemini and Copilot, without Grok. Grok starts on Starter: $295 a month for 3,600 credits, where one credit buys one AI response, spread across eleven models (ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews, AI Mode, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, Grok, DeepSeek, Meta AI and Mistral) per AthenaHQ’s plans page, read October 1, 2026. AthenaHQ lists a GA4 and Google Search Console integration, and annual billing takes 17% off.
For Grok, AthenaHQ covers most of the engines buyers use in one account once the budget clears the Starter price. Where AthenaHQ falls short: there is no paid step between the free tier and $295; credits make the monthly cost depend on how many responses you collect; API access and extra credits are paid add-ons; and its plans page names no MCP server. See our AthenaHQ alternatives page.
Tools we left out, and why
Eleven trackers that come up in Grok searches did not meet the bar when we read their pricing pages:
- Peec AI, Goodie, Scrunch AI and Writesonic keep Grok for Enterprise. Peec AI’s self-serve plans, from $95/mo on monthly billing, let you pick three engines from ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, AI Overviews, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini and Naver AI (peec.ai/pricing). Goodie’s Core plan, $399/mo, covers ChatGPT, AI Overviews, Perplexity, AI Mode and Copilot (higoodie.com/pricing). Scrunch AI’s Core plan, $250/mo, covers ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews and Copilot (scrunch.com/pricing). Writesonic’s self-serve plans, from $79/mo billed yearly, track ChatGPT, Gemini and AI Overviews (writesonic.com/pricing). All four list Grok only on a custom contract. Read October 1, 2026.
- Otterly.ai, SE Ranking, Omnia, Nimt and Semrush do not list Grok on their plans. Otterly.ai’s tiers, from $29/mo, track ChatGPT, AI Overviews, Perplexity and Copilot, with Claude, AI Mode and Gemini sold as add-ons. SE Ranking’s Core, from $129/mo, tracks five LLMs that its pricing page does not name; the trackers its product menu lists are AI Overviews, AI Mode, ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity. Omnia, from €79/mo, runs four engines by default and adds Claude, Gemini and Copilot on request. Nimt, from $89/mo, tracks eight models, none of them Grok. Semrush’s AI Visibility Toolkit, $99/mo per domain billed yearly, lists mentions from ChatGPT, Google AI, Gemini and Perplexity. All read October 1, 2026.
- Profound and Gauge. Profound’s public entry is a free 7-day trial on ChatGPT, Gemini and AI Overviews, followed by a custom Enterprise contract, and Grok was not on its published engine list when we read tryprofound.com/pricing on October 1, 2026. Gauge’s one self-serve plan, Growth at $599/mo, tracks six engines without Grok. Grok and Claude come with Gauge’s custom Enterprise plan, or on Growth when you connect your own xAI or Anthropic API key, which the provider bills directly, so Gauge’s page shows no price for Grok and the bar above leaves Gauge out (withgauge.com/pricing, read October 1, 2026).
If one of these suits your other engines better, our Peec AI alternatives and Otterly AI alternatives pages compare them in full.
How to check Grok by hand
You can take a first reading today without any tool. It covers one engine and takes a while, but it shows what a tracker automates and gives you a baseline to judge any tool against:
- Write down ten questions your buyers ask, in their words: “best tool for X”, “X vs Y”, “is X worth it”.
- Ask each one in a new Grok chat, with nothing earlier in the thread, so past messages do not steer the answer.
- Record the answer. Note whether your brand is named, in what position, and which competitors appear.
- Open the sources. Save the links and X posts Grok shows, with who posted them and when. They are the conversations shaping the answer.
- Run the same ten again on at least two more days. Grok’s picks follow what is being said on X, so later passes can differ from the first.
- Keep one sheet with a date column, so each pass compares against the last.
Ten prompts over three days is thirty answers to log for a single engine. Our step-by-step guide to tracking your brand in Grok covers the manual method in more depth, and why Grok doesn’t recommend your brand covers what to change once you can see the gaps. For the same comparison on another engine, see our best Perplexity rank trackers. If you would rather watch it done for your own site before starting a trial, book a 30-minute demo: Cituna runs live on your domain and shows which brands AI engines recommend instead of yours.
Our verdict
If Grok is one of several engines your buyers use and you want a daily reading with the work done for you, Cituna fits: seven engines including Grok checked every day from $39/mo, a generated fix for each gap, and articles written and published to your site. If you need checks more often than daily, Rankscale’s credits allow hourly runs. If you need hundreds of prompts and a weekly reading is enough, LLMrefs carries 500 for $79/mo. If Microsoft Copilot matters as much as Grok, Rankscale, LLMrefs and AthenaHQ list both.
