Compiled from each vendor’s public pricing page: LLMrefs figures from llmrefs.com/pricing, checked October 1, 2026; 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, LLMrefs works out at about $7.18 per engine per month ($79 across 11) and Trakkr at about $12.50 ($100 across 8). LLMrefs is the better ratio, by roughly $5.32 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: LLMrefs covers Microsoft Copilot and Trakkr does not; Trakkr covers 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 That is the whole difference on the rows both vendors publish, everything else in the matrix either matches or is unpublished by one of them, and an unpublished row is not a “no”.
Worth knowing before you shortlist either: neither LLMrefs nor Trakkr offers Search Console integration. 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. 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. 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 and generated fixes, so those rows should not carry weight in the decision even though both vendors market them.
Over a year the gap is $252. Both bill as flat monthly, so the annual figure is predictable for either: set it against the coverage difference above rather than deciding on the $21 a month alone.
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 LLMrefs or Trakkr.
- 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; neither LLMrefs nor Trakkr offers one
- MCP access from the $39 Starter; Trakkr offers it too
What you give up:
- Microsoft Copilot, which LLMrefs tracks and Cituna does not
- more engines, which LLMrefs and Trakkr list
Choose LLMrefs if…
LLMrefs is an eleven-engine list on one flat plan, refreshed weekly. Against Trakkr specifically, it is the cheaper entry by $21 a month and it covers more engines at entry (11 against 8).
- 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
Choose Trakkr if…
Trakkr is daily checks across eight engines with an MCP server included. Against LLMrefs specifically, you are paying $21 a month more than LLMrefs for it and it covers fewer engines at entry (8 against 11).
- 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
