Cituna asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Grok, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode your buyers’ questions every day, shows where a rival is named instead of you, and generates the schema, FAQ and llms.txt fixes for each gap. LLM Pulse tracks five models by default, sells more as add-ons, and leans into analytics: sentiment, AI traffic, GEO testing and a large MCP toolset. Which one fits depends on what you need, so the verdicts below go by need.

Where Cituna is the stronger choice
- Seven engines without add-ons. Cituna’s $39 Starter checks Claude and Grok every day alongside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and both Google surfaces. On LLM Pulse, Claude and Grok are add-ons from €8 each per month, so the same seven engines on the LLM Pulse daily Starter cost from €95 a month before VAT.
- The fix, not only the finding. For each prompt where an engine names a competitor instead of you, Cituna generates the change that closes the gap: schema markup, FAQ content and an llms.txt file. LLM Pulse lists recommendations and runs Technical GEO reports; Cituna hands you the code or copy to ship.
- Articles written and sent where you publish. Cituna’s AutoSEO writes 30 articles a month on Starter, one a day, and holds them as drafts by default so a person reviews each before it goes live. Cituna sends them to WordPress, Shopify, Sanity, a GitHub repo, or any other CMS through a webhook. LLM Pulse’s GEO Writer gives its Starter 3 tasks a month.
- Search Console in the same tool. Cituna joins Google Search Console data on every paid plan, so you can see whether the pages you fixed earn more clicks. LLM Pulse’s pricing page does not list a Search Console integration.
- API from the first plan. Cituna issues API keys on Starter, Pro and Max. LLM Pulse’s API and Looker Studio connector start on its Scale plan, at €299 a month for weekly tracking or €449 for daily, before VAT.
- Dollar pricing. Cituna bills $39, $119 or $399 a month in dollars. LLM Pulse lists euros before VAT, so a US invoice from LLM Pulse moves with the exchange rate.
Where LLM Pulse is the stronger choice
- More prompts for the money. LLM Pulse’s €79 daily Starter covers 50 prompts on five models, five times the 10 prompts on Cituna’s $39 Starter. Cituna Pro at $119 brings 30 prompts, and Cituna Max at $399 brings 90. If you need volume on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google’s two surfaces, LLM Pulse covers more questions per euro.
- A cheaper weekly option. LLM Pulse sells weekly tracking from €49 a month before VAT, or €40.83 a month billed annually. Cituna does not sell a weekly plan.
- Unlimited seats. Every LLM Pulse plan includes unlimited team members at no cost. Cituna caps seats at 1, 5 and 15 by plan, which matters for agencies sharing a workspace.
- MCP write actions on every plan. LLM Pulse’s MCP connects over OAuth free on every plan, exposes about 110 tools, and can create prompts, add competitors, create tags, launch recommendation runs and run Technical GEO audits. Cituna’s MCP server gives Starter 20 read tools; its 6 write tools, such as running a scan or setting prompts, start on Pro.
- Sentiment, traffic analytics and testing. LLM Pulse adds sentiment analysis and AI traffic analytics on Growth, and GEO testing, reputation tracking, ChatGPT Shopping tracking and per-URL agent analytics on Scale. Cituna does not offer sentiment, crawler visit logs or GEO testing.
- More engines as add-ons. LLM Pulse sells Copilot, DeepSeek, Meta AI, Alexa for Shopping, Naver AI Briefing and Baidu AI as add-on models, and Brave AI and Walmart Sparky through sales. Cituna does not track Copilot, Meta AI, DeepSeek or Brave.
- A longer trial. LLM Pulse’s 14-day trial is longer than Cituna’s 3 days, though the LLM Pulse trial covers weekly plans only, and both ask for a payment method first.
What each costs for the same job
Prices change, so here is one worked example on each vendor’s published figures. Say you want Claude and Grok checked daily next to ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini.
- Cituna: $39 a month on Starter for 10 prompts across all seven engines, or $119 on Pro for 30 prompts, three brands and five seats. Fifty prompts need Cituna Max at $399, which holds 90. No add-ons.
- LLM Pulse: €79 a month on the LLM Pulse daily Starter, plus Claude and Grok from €8 each, so from €95 a month before VAT for 50 prompts across seven models. LLM Pulse sentiment needs Growth, from €149 a month daily, and the LLM Pulse API needs Scale, from €449 a month daily, both before VAT. LLM Pulse annual billing takes 17% off.
At ten prompts or fewer, Cituna is the lower bill for all seven engines. Past that, LLM Pulse’s price per prompt is lower, and Cituna’s case rests on the fixes, the articles and Search Console.
The verdict by need
- You want daily data on all seven engines and the fixes written for you: Cituna, from $39 a month, with AutoSEO drafts sent to your CMS.
- You track hundreds of prompts on the five core models: LLM Pulse, from €79 a month before VAT for 50 prompts checked daily, scaling to 450 on Scale.
- You are an agency with many people in one account: LLM Pulse, for unlimited seats and its Partner plans, which start at 25 client projects and 3,600 prompts. Cituna Max at $399 fits if you need 10 brands with 15 seats and the fix workflow.
- You need sentiment or GEO testing: LLM Pulse Growth or Scale. Cituna does not offer either.
- You want to prove AI work moved search traffic: Cituna, with Search Console joined to the same prompts.

How we compared them
We took LLM Pulse’s plans, prices, models, trial terms and feature rows from llmpulse.ai/pricing, and its MCP capabilities from its help center, both read on October 13, 2026. Cituna’s figures come from its own plan catalogue on the same date. Where LLM Pulse’s pages do not mention a feature, the table says “not listed” rather than guessing. All LLM Pulse prices are monthly, in euros, before VAT.
