Compiled from each vendor’s public pricing page: Trakkr figures from trakkr.ai/pricing, checked October 1, 2026. “Not published” marks a row the vendor does not state publicly; it is not a “no”. Cituna checks all seven engines daily and does not track Microsoft Copilot. MCP read tools are included from $39, write tools from Pro ($119); MCP is not exclusive to us. Prices change often: verify before buying. Spot an error? Tell us and we will correct it.
Published entry-tier price per month from each vendor’s pricing page (dates in the matrix note above). Read it against what each tier includes, a lower price can mean fewer engines or prompts.

The four engines coverage varies most on. A dash-ringed “?” means we have not confirmed that vendor’s position on that engine (shown as “Not published” in the matrix), never a no we have not earned.
Reading the difference
On cost per engine at entry, the crudest useful way to normalise these two, Cituna works out at about $5.57 per engine per month ($39 across 7) and Trakkr at about $12.50 ($100 across 8). Cituna is the better ratio, by roughly $6.93 per engine. Treat that as a sanity check rather than a verdict: an engine you do not care about is not worth anything, and Trakkr’s number improves immediately if its engine mix happens to be the one you need.
The confirmed capability split between these two is narrow enough to state exactly: Cituna covers Search Console integration and Trakkr does not. That is the whole difference on the rows both vendors publish, everything else in the matrix either matches or is unpublished by one of them, and an unpublished row is not a “no”.
Worth knowing before you shortlist either: neither Cituna nor Trakkr offers Microsoft Copilot. If any of those is a requirement, this comparison is the wrong shortlist and you should widen it rather than pick the better of two tools that both miss what you need.
The tier ladders are worth reading side by side, because the entry price means something different on each. Cituna: Starter $39 · Pro $119 · Max $399. Trakkr: From $100/mo. That is where most of the apparent price gap between these two either disappears or widens sharply, depending on which engines you actually need.
They also genuinely overlap on Claude, Grok, Google AI Overviews, an MCP server and generated fixes, so those rows should not carry weight in the decision even though both vendors market them.
One practical difference that does not appear in any feature list: Cituna bills as flat tiers and Trakkr as flat monthly. A credit-metered plan and a flat plan are hard to compare over a year because only one of them has a predictable ceiling, so run your expected prompt volume through both before treating the entry prices as comparable at all.
Which to choose
Choose Cituna if…
Cituna is the fix loop: find the gap, generate the fix, publish it, prove it in Search Console. Against Trakkr specifically, it is the cheaper entry by $61 a month, it covers fewer engines at entry (7 against 8) and it bills as flat tiers where Trakkr bills as flat monthly.
- all seven engines, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Grok, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode, checked daily on the $39 entry tier, with no engine held back for a higher plan
- generated fixes rather than a chart: schema, FAQ markup, llms.txt and content changes produced from the exact prompts where you are missing
- a native Google Search Console integration, so an AI-visibility change can be tied back to real clicks instead of stopping at a score
What you give up:
- no Microsoft Copilot tracking: if Copilot is a reporting requirement, this is a genuine gap and several tools here cover it
- no sentiment analysis or multi-country breakdowns; the product optimises for the fix, not for the dashboard
- the trial is 3 days and asks for a card up front: you are not charged during it and can cancel anytime, but it is not a no-card start
Choose Trakkr if…
Trakkr is daily checks across eight engines with an MCP server included. Against Cituna specifically, you are paying $61 a month more than Cituna for it, it covers more engines at entry (8 against 7) and it bills as flat monthly where Cituna bills as flat tiers.
- eight engines checked daily, including Claude, Grok, DeepSeek and Meta AI
- an MCP server at entry: one of the few tools besides us to ship one without an upgrade
- a 14-day trial, the longest evaluation window among the tools here
What you give up:
- no Microsoft Copilot coverage
- no Search Console integration, so results stop at the AI layer
- a $100 entry with no smaller tier beneath it
