Compiled from each vendor’s public pricing page: Goodie AI figures from higoodie.com/pricing, checked July 16, 2026; LLMrefs figures from llmrefs.com/pricing, checked July 16, 2026. Goodie AI: Explorer covers three engines with 100 prompts. “Not published” marks a row the vendor does not state publicly; it is not a “no”. Cituna checks all six 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.

Reading the difference

On cost per engine at entry, the crudest useful way to normalise these two, Goodie AI works out at about $133.00 per engine per month ($399 across 3) and LLMrefs at about $7.18 ($79 across 11). LLMrefs is the better ratio, by roughly $125.82 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.

On every capability both vendors publish, Goodie AI and LLMrefs match. That is a genuinely unusual result in this category and it changes the decision: with no feature to separate them, the choice comes down to price, refresh cadence, and whether the output is a dashboard or a change you can ship.

Worth knowing before you shortlist either: neither Goodie AI nor LLMrefs offers Search Console integration and an MCP server. 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. Goodie AI: Explorer $399 (3 engines) · Pro adds Copilot · Enterprise adds Claude, Grok, AI Mode, Meta, DeepSeek. LLMrefs: Free single-keyword tier · paid from $79. 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, Microsoft Copilot 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 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 (3 against 11) and and it bills as flat tiers where LLMrefs bills as flat monthly.

  • a 30-day refund window, which is a longer safety net than any trial in this category
  • ten generated fixes a month bundled into the plan rather than sold as credits
  • a broad enterprise engine list including AI Mode, Meta and DeepSeek that few competitors publish at all

What you give up:

  • a $399 entry that covers only three engines: the highest price-per-engine at entry of any tool here
  • Claude and Grok are Enterprise-only, and Copilot starts on the Pro tier
  • no Search Console integration and no MCP server

Choose LLMrefs if…

LLMrefs is the longest engine list in the category, refreshed weekly. Against Goodie AI specifically, it is the cheaper entry by $320 a month, it covers more engines at entry (11 against 3) and and it bills as flat monthly where Goodie AI bills as flat tiers.

  • eleven engines, the longest published list of any tool here, including Claude, Grok and Copilot
  • a genuinely free single-keyword tier that keeps working rather than expiring
  • 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 free tier is limited to one keyword, which is a snapshot rather than a monitor

Frequently asked questions

Goodie AI vs LLMrefs: which should I choose?

LLMrefs is the cheaper way in at $79 a month against $399 for Goodie AI, a difference of about $320 a month, or $3840 a year. On the capabilities both vendors publish, the two overlap almost exactly, which makes price, refresh cadence and the quality of the output the deciding factors rather than the feature list. If you want all six major engines, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Grok and Google AI Overviews, checked daily, the generated fixes to close the gaps and a Search Console integration to prove the result, Cituna covers that from $39/mo. Cituna does not track Microsoft Copilot; if that is a requirement, weigh the tools here that do.

Is Goodie AI or LLMrefs cheaper?

LLMrefs, on published entry pricing: $79 a month against $399 for Goodie AI (LLMrefs figures from llmrefs.com/pricing, checked July 16, 2026; Goodie AI from higoodie.com/pricing, checked July 16, 2026). Read past the sticker, though: LLMrefs publishes a flat entry fee. Cituna is $39/mo flat for all six engines with no engine held back for a higher tier.

Does Goodie AI or LLMrefs cover more AI engines?

LLMrefs, on published entry-tier counts: 11 against 3 for Goodie AI. Engine counts are the most misread number in this category, so check what the entry tier actually includes rather than the total the site advertises. Cituna publishes one number for this: six engines, all of them on the $39 tier, all checked daily.

Do Goodie AI and LLMrefs track Claude and Grok?

Goodie AI tracks Claude (enterprise) and tracks Grok (enterprise) (as of July 16, 2026). LLMrefs tracks Claude and tracks Grok (as of July 16, 2026). Both engines are included in Cituna’s $39 Starter and checked daily, which is the gap this comparison most often turns on, Grok in particular is a blind spot across much of this category.
