Compiled from each vendor’s public pricing page: Goodie AI figures from higoodie.com/pricing, checked October 9, 2026; LLMrefs figures from llmrefs.com/pricing, checked October 1, 2026. Goodie AI: Core covers five engines with 120 prompts. “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, Goodie AI works out at about $79.80 per engine per month ($399 across 5) and LLMrefs at about $7.18 ($79 across 11). LLMrefs is the better ratio, by roughly $72.62 per engine. Treat that as a sanity check rather than a verdict: an engine you do not care about is not worth anything, and Goodie AI’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: Goodie AI covers Search Console integration and an MCP server and LLMrefs 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 That is the whole difference on the rows both vendors publish, everything else in the matrix either matches or is unpublished by one of them, and an unpublished row is not a “no”.
The tier ladders are worth reading side by side, because the entry price means something different on each. Goodie AI: Core $399 (5 engines, 120 prompts) · Pro $999 (8 engines, 250 prompts) · Enterprise custom (up to 13 engines). LLMrefs: One plan at $79 a month, marked “Limited time only” on its page: 500 prompts on every engine it lists, no per-engine fees. 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 Microsoft Copilot, Google AI Overviews 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: Goodie AI bills as flat tiers and LLMrefs 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…
For seven AI engines checked daily and the fixes written, on one plan from $39 a month, the pick is Cituna rather than Goodie AI or LLMrefs.
- ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Grok, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode, all seven checked daily on the $39 Starter
- the generated fixes to close the gaps, and articles written and published to your site
- a Search Console integration to prove the result; Goodie AI has one too
- MCP access from the $39 Starter; Goodie AI offers it too
What you give up:
- Microsoft Copilot, which Goodie AI and LLMrefs track and Cituna does not
- more engines, which LLMrefs lists
Choose Goodie AI if…
Goodie AI is a content-heavy platform sold at the top of the self-serve range. Against LLMrefs specifically, you are paying $320 a month more than LLMrefs for it, it covers fewer engines at entry (5 against 11) and it bills as flat tiers where LLMrefs bills as flat monthly.
- a 7-day free trial of Core, the one plan you can start without a demo
- fifty optimization actions a month and an MCP server included on Core
- eight tracked models on Pro and up to 13 on Enterprise, for teams that outgrow the five on Core
What you give up:
- a $399 entry with no smaller brand plan beneath it, and Core tracks five models, without Gemini, Claude or Grok
- the pricing page does not name the models Pro and Enterprise add, so check before paying for Gemini, Claude or Grok
- Pro and Enterprise are sold through a demo, so only Core can be started as a free trial
Choose LLMrefs if…
LLMrefs is an eleven-engine list on one flat plan, refreshed weekly. Against Goodie AI specifically, it is the cheaper entry by $320 a month, it covers more engines at entry (11 against 5) and it bills as flat monthly where Goodie AI bills as flat tiers.
- eleven engines, including Claude, Grok and Copilot, with no per-engine fees
- a 7-day free trial, then one flat plan with 500 prompts
- a set of free standalone tools alongside the tracker
What you give up:
- a weekly refresh rather than daily, so a change made on Monday may not be visible until the following week
- no Search Console integration and no MCP server
- the $79 price is marked “Limited time only” on its pricing page, so it may not hold
